Allan has taught the SAT for more than ten years and has coached over 300 students with a proven lesson plan he built himself. It teaches the material the test covers and the strategy for handling it under the clock.
Jon is a former McKinsey consultant, a Wharton graduate and a former US Navy officer who guides students through college lists, essays and interviews.
Every family works with both of them on one shared plan, and parents can see progress every week.
Over the past two years, many of the most selective universities in the country have brought back their SAT or ACT requirement. For students applying for fall 2027 entry, a strong result is once again part of the baseline rather than a bonus.
Testing required for fall 2027 entry. Princeton and Columbia begin requiring scores with the 2027-28 admissions cycle. Policies change, so we confirm each school's current rules with every family.
Many families end up hiring a test tutor and an admissions consultant who never speak to each other. At Aquinas, Allan and Jon share one plan for your student and talk about their progress every week.
Every family gets a private dashboard that Allan and Jon update after each session. The version below uses sample data for a made-up student, so feel free to click around.
Maya answered only 2 of 11 Advanced Math questions correctly when she spent more than 45 seconds on them. From now on she makes her best guess at 45 seconds, flags the question and comes back if time allows.
Good week. Maya is setting up quadratics correctly before solving, which fixed most of her careless errors. Next session we move to circle questions.
Most premium firms hide their pricing until a sales call. We would rather you know the numbers before we speak.
For students whose main need is a stronger SAT result.
For juniors and rising seniors applying to selective colleges.
For families who want full support through application season.
The Accelerator curriculum taught live by Allan to three or four students. 24 hours over 8 to 12 weeks, four practice tests and a parent dashboard for each family.
Three 60-minute mock interviews with Jon, recorded review and written feedback. Popular with seniors from November to March.
Eight hours with Allan over three to five weeks before a specific test date, plus two timed practice tests.
An interests and strengths assessment, three sessions with Jon and a written map of majors and careers worth exploring.
The +100 point promise. If your student completes the full Accelerator plan and improves by fewer than 100 points from the diagnostic to an official SAT, we add 8 hours of tutoring at no cost.
Payment. Pay in full and save 5%, or split any program into three payments. Hourly sessions are available afterward at $205 with Allan and $245 with Jon, with a two-hour minimum.
What we never promise. No one can honestly guarantee admission to a particular college, and we will not pretend otherwise.
Allan is an education professional who has spent more than a decade preparing students for the SAT. He teaches strategy as seriously as content: how to pace each module, which questions to skip, and how to guess well when time runs short.
His students review real test questions every week, because that is where most of the improvement happens. He is known for showing students what their best section would mean across a full test, which gives them a realistic target to work toward.
Jon is a graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and a former consultant at McKinsey & Company. He also served as an officer in the US Navy.
He works with students on college lists, activities and essays, and prepares them for interviews with colleges, scholarship committees and service academy boards. He also helps families think carefully about majors and careers at a time when many jobs are changing.
We never write essays or interview answers. We help students find what they want to say and give honest feedback on their drafts.
We do not guarantee admission, and any results we publish come with a clear explanation of how they were measured.
Every program price is listed on this page. Discounts are rare and always stated in writing.
Allan and Jon teach every session themselves. Your student is never handed off to someone you have not met.
Accounts belong to parents, sessions are recorded only with consent, and there are no public profiles or student feeds.
We teach from our own question sets and official practice tests, and we keep College Board content out of every AI tool we use.
If yours is not answered here, ask us on a consult call.
Yes. Every session runs on video, so we work with families anywhere in the US and schedule around your time zone. Sessions are recorded only if a parent gives consent.
SAT sessions with Allan run one hour. Jon's strategy and interview sessions usually run 45 to 60 minutes.
Most students begin in the fall or winter of junior year and aim for spring test dates. Seniors can still benefit from a Final-Push Intensive or interview preparation, and ninth and tenth graders can start with a lighter plan.
No, and we would be cautious of anyone who does. We promise a clear plan, expert time and honest progress reports. The SAT Accelerator includes the +100 point promise, with its full terms listed under Programs.
Our programs are built around the digital SAT. If the diagnostic suggests the ACT would suit your student better, we will tell you and help you decide what to do next.
No. We help students work out what they want to say and give feedback on their drafts, but every word they submit is their own.
You can pay in full and save 5%, or split any program into three payments. Hourly sessions are available for returning students once a program is complete.
Tell us a little about your student and we will reply within one business day to find a time. Your student is welcome to join the call. Hearing their goals in their own words helps us build a better plan.
