An average of 8-12 weekly 1.5 hour sessions is recommended.

High school math tutoring ( all areas): Ken can assist in Algebra 1-4, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, College Algebra, and Finite Math. Included are instruction and practice tests geared to your specific requirements. Tutoring sessions last 1 hour and can be scheduled as needed.

College Math Placement Test Preparation: For higher placement in your first year of college, Ken offers assistance with the ASU, UofA, and NAU mathematics placement tests. Included are a review of relevant high school math and practice placement tests. The number of sessions varies based on the test. This is a summer program only.

College Admissions Counseling: Whether you need general guidance, or specific help with the maze of paperwork required for admissions and financial aid, Ken can provide the information you seek. Counseling sessions last 1.5 hours and can be scheduled as needed.

Diagnostic Testing: This new service has been added in the fall of 2011. Many students/parents often wonder where strengths/weaknesses lie regarding standardized testing. A diagnostic test of approximately two hours can help determine this. Ken can arrange for pre-testing for the PSAT, SAT, and ACT, and give his expert professional analysis. The fee is $75, and appointments are based upon availability.

School-year Program Details

  • Classes run 90 minutes each
  • Classes are offered in both private and small group format (2-4 students)
  • Program runs 8 - 12 weeks
  • Ken teaches all of his classes himself and provides his experienced, knowledgeable, and personal touch to all. He shares his original, insightful, and proven tips and strategies for PSAT, SAT, ACT test prep utilizing authentic test prep resources published by the College Board and ACT, along with his own materials.
  • Ken's program requires students to complete a weekly assignment at home that will take approximately 1 hour. It includes a reading/math handout. With continued weekly practice consisting of 1.5 hours in my office and 1 hour at home, much success will come.
  • "The proof is in the pudding" applies particularly so when it comes to professional tutoring. Many programs do not offer proof of their success through testimonials from students, parents, school personnel, and other professional educational consultants. Please see these testimonials for a sample of success stories and validation references since 1998.
