At Learn for Life, things are done differently.
My years with international students and varying learning styles and as an executive functioning coach inspired me to find a new way. One way. Simple. Consistent. Less effort. Higher accuracy.
I reimagined test prep from the ground up to develop a holistic, brain-centered approach:

○ Classes strengthen life skills and modify behaviors at the synaptic level
○ I developed an innovative learning platform that mimics the in-person experience
○ Students build a brain-based knowledge archive for easy recall by applying life skills and school assignments to test prep
Then, Learn a Streamlined Strategy:
○ Instead of identifying multiple question types and memorizing different strategies, students learn one reliable method: Answer GPS.

Why does other test prep fall short?
A simple, repeatable method to help students
Even the best test prep companies and tutors teach a bunch of strategies for different types of questions and subjects, tailored specifically for each test. This means students must master content and memorize extra strategies and question types, all while juggling to fit test prep into a busy schedule.
This traditional approach forces extra effort to raise scores on the already stressful ACT or SAT because they must recall content and strategies, adjusting for each question and subject.
Honestly, I've taught this way, too, but after fifteen years of experience, I found a better way: Answer GPS.

Learning life skills raises scores.
When students learn through practical life skills, they make test-taking easier, higher scores more achievable, and gain tools for success in school and life. Engaging, relatable learning ingrains skills and concepts at the synaptic level, paving the way for a bright future.
Even top students find the ACT and SAT tough because these exams actually demand different prep and skills than school tests. Think of them as endurance events, like triathlons. Unlike school tests, these exams measure how well students apply learned life behaviors and cumulative knowledge while maintaining focus for hours, not just their understanding of concepts.
This gap makes the ACT and SAT uniquely challenging. Even high-performing students need to retrain their brains to adopt the behaviors demanded by these tests and the real-life situations they mimic. It’s not just about knowing the material; it’s about how you apply real-world skills to apply it under pressure.
That’s why I integrate executive functioning strategies into every course. This helps students boost working memory, cognitive flexibility, stress management, impulse control, time management, focus, and organization. These skills and the Answer GPS set them up for success in high school, college, and beyond.
Revolutionizing Test Prep:
Smarter, Subject-specific, Group Instruction
Preparing for the ACT or SAT can be one of the most challenging and stressful parts of your child’s academic journey. I understand. That’s why I created Learn for Life: test prep reimagined to cater to the unique needs of international students and families like yours.
Learn for Life’s subject-specific courses fix the flaws of traditional all-in-one programs that often fall short. My subject-specific courses excel by blending the personalized feel of one-on-one instruction with the efficiency of group classes. The result? Engaging, interactive, relatable, targeted instruction that aligns with the demands of competitive US college admissions for international students.
Here’s how Learn for Life takes a creative approach to
group courses to make test prep relatable and effective:
Targeted Learning for Maximum Impact
Start for free with an ACT and/or SAT diagnostic practice test and an individual follow-up meeting that includes respective parent(s) or caretaker(s) to review results, discuss the learning styles and challenges, set goals, and create a custom course plan. Some students may jump straight to Answer GPS! My targeted teaching lets students concentrate on one ACT or SAT section per course, honing in on weaknesses without wasting time on known material. This method maximizes results and fits perfecting into busy lives.
Experience Many online or live group courses fall short on personalized attention and engagement, but Learn for Life’s innovative virtual learning system changes everything. It blends the best of one-on-one tutoring with the efficiency of group learning. Integrating traditional in-person learning tools like interactive whiteboards and real-time, personal engagement, I create an engaging environment that surpasses traditional group classes. By weaving one-on-one teaching principles into group settings, learning feels personal and effective, even in a group.
Tailored for Busy, Ambitious Students
I get it – students in India, Hong Kong, and across Asia juggle demanding schedules. Test prep should ease stress; not add to it. The solution? My courses integrate each student’s school assignments, adding value and streamlining the test prep process. Every minute matters, so I’ve redesigned test prep as a springboard to enhance essential life skills needed on the test, in school, and beyond.
Blending the Best of 1:1 and Group Instruction
Before the first class, I meet online with each student during a Student Spotlight: a one-on-one session to get to know each other and discuss personal learning challenges. Using these insights, I tailor the course curriculum to fit each group’s needs. Each course schedule includes Focus Forums after practice tests or sections and one-on-one Score Success Sessions at regular intervals. Every meeting opens with a mindfulness exercise, promoting a unifying sense of focused energy and clarity and reinforcing stress management techniques. During classes, I actively involve everyone in the teaching process, creating a supportive atmosphere where students balance out each other’s strengths and weaknesses. I recognize that each brain learns differently; one explanation doesn’t work for everyone. Creatively conveying concepts from multiple angles drives understanding. When students share their own understanding, it supports others, enhances their own knowledge, and reinforces their learning. This unique, human-powered approach to test prep turns it into a positive experience. It associates a positive, empowering experience with a normally intimidating test. This reduces stress, minimizes effort, and boosts confidence, helping them achieve their goal scores.
I founded Learn for Life to revolutionize test prep – not as a quick-fix,
but as a meaningful investment in your child’s future.
By targeting subject mastery, using innovative methods, and teaching practical life skills, I offer a test prep experience that goes beyond boosting scores. I’m here to ensure your child excels, not just on the ACT or SAT, but in life. Let’s redefine success together!

An Expert US College Admissions Test Prep Tutor Teleported to Your Location and Time Zone
Since 2013, I’ve been tutoring remotely, but when COVID-19 hit, I tackled the challenges of online learning head-on. Instead of adapting teaching techniques to fit the tech, I adapted tech to proven methods from one-on-one and classroom, bringing the in-person experience to virtual learning.
My unique, live, online learning platform offers an innovative way to replicate face-to-face interaction. Forget the disconnected, static bust of a person looking down at a computer screen. Imagine an active teacher engaging with an interactive whiteboard, making online learning feel you’re right there in person, wherever you may be. Plus, it scales individual attention, ensuring every student feels valued and understood, even in group settings.
This method boosts engagement with interactive, focused, distraction-free lessons. Using virtual versions of traditional tools, like cloud-based shared whiteboards that students use with tablets and styluses, plus eye contact, it feels like your personal teacher is right there with you, no matter where you are.
With this system, you get the best of both worlds: the personal touch of one-on-one instruction and the dynamic, supportive energy of a classroom. It’s a game-changer for online education, making learning more effective and enjoyable for everyone.
