Prep That Respects Your Time

You're balancing study with a demanding job, application deadlines, and the rest of your life. You don't have time for low-value busywork or a generic curriculum that covers things you already know.

My approach is simple: figure out exactly where you're losing points, cut everything that doesn't move the needle, and focus your limited study time on high-quality practice and strategies that actually matter to your score. Every session and every assignment is designed to be worth your time — nothing generic, nothing filler.

After 18 years of working with standardized tests, I understand how these exams are designed and how to help you work within their logic rather than against it.

What to Expect

Diagnostic analysis — We start with practice test data and targeted problem sets to identify your specific score profile: where you're strong, where you're losing points, and what the most efficient path to your target score looks like.

Flexible scheduling — Sessions are scheduled around your availability. Most clients prefer weekly or twice-weekly sessions of 60–90 minutes, but I adapt to what works for your schedule.

Quantitative and verbal — Whether your gaps are in quantitative reasoning, reading comprehension, analytical writing, or data analysis, I cover the full scope of both tests.

In-person or online — Available in person at my office in Carmel Valley, San Diego, or via Zoom from anywhere.

What Clients Say

"Worked with Blake for over a year and can confidently say he turned my standardized test-taking fortunes around. Always very flexible and willing to send and create additional resources tailored to my needs at the time. Blake is exceptionally talented not only in dissecting and explaining advanced content in a simple manner, but in helping to craft a test-taking strategy that is successful for the individual. Highly recommend Blake's services."
