SAT® & ACT® Tutoring Services
If you're serious about increasing SAT® or ACT® scores, you've come to the right place. I'm a test prep expert with a strong background in education and a proven track record. As the founder of Walker Prep, which has been helping students achieve exceptional score gains on the SAT® and ACT® since 2014, I've helped hundreds of students increase SAT® scores by 100+ points and ACT® scores by 5+ points. Explore my reviews to see examples of the results I've helped my students achieve.
My private test prep students have gained admission to highly selective universities, including Harvard, Stanford, Upenn, Cornell, Georgetown, Purdue, West Point, and others.
Here are the subjects I tutor:
SAT® Reading & Writing
ACT® English
ACT® Reading
ACT® Science

SELF-PACED VERSION

The Test Prep Challenge: Finding Balance
After 10+ years as an SAT® Reading and Writing specialist, I've encountered a fundamental challenge in test preparation: the tension between comprehensive support and flexible scheduling.
The Comprehensive Approach
Effective test preparation requires more than just covering content. It demands:
Adaptation based on demonstrated pattern of individual strengths and weaknesses
Consistent practice and feedback over time
Regular progress tracking and adjustment
Structured study plans between sessions
Accountability and ongoing guidance
These elements, which often go unspoken in the tutor-student relationship, are essential for meaningful score improvement. This is why my comprehensive tutoring packages include 12 weekly sessions - they provide the structure and consistency needed for optimal results.
The Need for Flexibility
However, I recognize that not every student's schedule, learning style, or preferences align with this comprehensive approach. Some students:
May be largely self-directed but occasionally need expert guidance
Have specific question types they're struggling with
Want to supplement their independent study with periodic expert feedback
Need clarification on specific strategies rather than full-scale tutoring
The Solution: Specialized Sessions
These realities led me to develop two specialized session types - Q&A Sessions and Jam Sessions - that bridge the gap between comprehensive tutoring and complete independence.
These sessions allow me to share my expertise with students who aren't on a comprehensive tutoring plan, while maintaining clear boundaries that ensure both the student and I have realistic expectations about what can be accomplished.
