Any time · up to six weeks

A math tutor at any hour, and a plan that makes your final weeks of study count

You already have the material. What is missing is knowing which forty hours between here and the exam are the ones that move a score.

We build that plan. It is ordered on two things: where the marks are actually going, and how often the real papers ask each topic — counted from past exams, not taken from a table of contents. As a weak topic stops being weak, its time moves to one that is still costing marks.

Every lesson is worked one-on-one, at whatever hour your child studies — after school, late at night, Sunday morning. If they already have a tutor, this does not replace them. It tells them where to spend the hour, which is the thing tutors most often have to guess at.

Our summer students worked this way, and it is the part they talk about.

Included in the Columbus Day Bootcamp. Book a weekend and this course comes with it — the $160 covers both, and it starts while your child is still in class.
Up to twenty-four private sessions, fitted to the weeks you have left. $60 once — about $1.67 an hour. No subscription.

Columbus Day Bootcamp

Eight hours of live instruction — $160
Sun Oct 11 & Mon Oct 12, 9am–1pm
Sat Oct 17 & Sun Oct 18, 9am–1pm
The same eight hours either weekend — take whichever suits you.

Two days of real teaching with our tutors, online:

  • 4+ hours of math
  • Up to 4 hours of ELA (SHSAT) or writing (BCA)

And then it doesn't end. Every other weekend immersive course finishes when the weekend does and hands you notes. Your child's AI course starts during the weekend, measures everything they do across the eight hours, and builds the remaining weeks from what it saw.

It tells apart three things most study plans never separate:

  • a knowledge gap — not taught yet, so the lesson, not more questions
  • an execution gap — knows the method and loses the marks anyway
  • something that needs a person — named plainly, so your tutor's hour goes where it counts

Then it is one-on-one and available every hour of every day, right through to exam day. It supplements the tutors your child already has rather than replacing them.

Our guarantee. $160 covers the eight live hours and the AI course that follows. If you finish and do not think "I learned things about my student I didn't know before", we refund the $60 the AI course costs. You keep the weekend.

For SHSAT Families

Prepping for the SHSAT? The Test Itself Just Changed.

Starting Fall 2026, the SHSAT changes how questions are chosen for every student in real time — the difficulty of each question adjusts based on how you’re doing, question by question. Most practice materials still don’t reflect that.

⚡

True Item-Level Adaptivity

Our benchmark exams adjust difficulty after every single question — not just once or twice at fixed checkpoints — so the practice experience actually mirrors how the real 2026 SHSAT measures your student’s ability.

📚

2,600+ Real SHSAT-Level Questions

Every question — and every companion practice version — is independently verified and organized across 23 precise skill categories, so your student never runs out of fresh material on the exact skills that show up on test day.

🎯

A Real Estimated Score

Not just a percentage — a scaled score estimate that tells you where your student stands relative to recent specialized high school cutoffs, so you know exactly where you’re aiming.

Explore SHSAT Prep

Full-length adaptive benchmark exams are available to enrolled students, so you can track real progress toward test day.
