Private 1:1 SAT/ACT Tutoring That Actually Works

The #1 reason why students don’t get into their dream colleges is a low SAT/ACT score.

Most students don’t struggle with the SAT and ACT because they aren’t capable. In fact, there is a very high chance that if your student is a junior in high school then they have already covered all of the math on the SAT and ACT, yet they struggle because they don’t have the right strategy. At Northpoint, we teach students how to approach the SAT with clarity, structure, and confidence—so they improve faster and perform when it matters most.

Results You Can Expect From Us:

  • Average SAT improvement: 150–200+ points

  • Improved motivation and confidence leading up to test day and on the exam

  • Higher scores = stronger college outcomes

From Our Director — Brian

Howdy!

I am a full-time SAT/ACT tutor with thousands of documented tutoring hours over the last 7 years. While my colleagues say I fit right in with the high school students I take the SAT every few months with, I consistently score in the 1560-1600 range including a perfect 1600 in 2019.

Most of the students we work with are not lacking ability—they are simply stuck. They may already be working hard, taking practice tests, and putting in the time, but their scores are not improving the way they should.

They feel frustrated, inconsistent, or unsure of how to approach the test. What they need is not more effort, but a clearer strategy.

Other students we work with are already capable of strong scores, and the challenge is not effort, but knowing how to approach the test efficiently and consistently. Once that changes, results follow quickly.

That’s where we come in.

Our students don’t settle for anything less than the best and we don’t either. My team and I help students close the gap between potential and performance through clear strategy, efficient instruction, and real accountability that keeps students engaged, motivated, and confident in themselves. Every tutor on our team has scored in the top 1%, earned a perfect score in at least one section, and coached students to exceptional results.

  • "We had already invested in another prep company before meeting Brian and my daughter’s score was stuck at a 1340. Within the first few sessions, it was obvious Brian’s approach was far more individualized. He pinpointed her weakest question types and built targeted drills rather than generic homework and consistently texted my daughter to remind her on homework and answer questions before the next session. He also worked on mindset and mental frameworks that helped her eliminate wrong answers and stay composed under pressure. The result was a 1550 superscore and multiple merit scholarship offers. Brian’s preparation was efficient, strategic, and incredibly effective.”

  • "I started with a 1280 and thought that I had already maxxed out my score. Brian completely changed how I approached the SAT by breaking down my thinking patterns and teaching me a system for reading and timing that finally made sense. Three months later, I scored a 1500 and got accepted to Columbia with that score."

    —Former Customer

  • "I started with Brian for SAT prep when he suggested I switch over to ACT. Although I was stuck with a mid 1300 SAT score, his strategies carried over to ACT, where I got a 35 composite in just a week of prep."

    —Former Customer

  • “I cannot recommend Brian highly enough! Our son went from a 26 to a 34 on the ACT after working with him for just two months. Brian kept him focused, broke the test down into simple strategies, and even texted Joel late at night outside of sessions reminding him to do his homework. If you're looking for a personalized tutor that gets results, Brian is the best!”

    Description goes here

Here’s how we get results without restrictive contracts, student burnout, or wasted energy.

1) Diagnostic & Evaluation

We begin with a mock exam and a strategy consultation to identify your student’s strengths, weaknesses, and test-taking patterns. Even if you do not continue with us, you will leave with a personalized game plan and greater clarity.

2) Match with a tutor

We match your student with the right tutor and build a personalized plan around their goals, schedule, and target score. Our tutoring is strategic, efficient, and designed to produce faster results (as much as 100+ points on the SAT or 3 points on the ACT in under 6 hours) than generic prep programs.

3) Growth & Progress Tracking

Through real-time feedback and structured progress tracking, families always know how their student is doing. We adjust instruction as needed so students stay supported, motivated, and on track.

4) Results

Our students improve with confidence, not burnout. The goal is not just a higher score, but a smarter, calmer, more effective approach to the test.
