Lane’s Background
After graduating from CU Boulder in 2018 with an astrophysics degree, I decided to focus primarily on tutoring. I’ve been working in this field for over 5 years now and currently have over 5,000 hours of experience involving ACT, SAT, math, and physics tutoring. My students have gone on to some of the most prestigious universities in the country, including Stanford, CalPoly, Yale, and Brown. I am passionate about tutoring and am driven by that “light-bulb” that goes off when a student understands my explanation.

Our Approach
Above all, our goal is to provide exceptional customer service and produce significant results. Patience and strong communication skills are the primary ingredients of our tutoring process. By customizing our game plan to your individual student’s strengths and weaknesses, we will budget our session time as necessary to maximize your student’s scores on each section. No two students are the same. As such, our game plan is personally tailored to each individual student.
These tests are exercises in pattern recognition. Through practice/repetition along with proper identification of the numerous strategies for each section, your student will learn to master the test that best suits them. The goal is to see those practice test scores increase week by week, so consistent practice test completion is crucial. With an arsenal of over 65 full-length practice ACTs and SATs and supplemental resources for each section, we have no shortage of practice content!
The ACT & SAT Mastery approach is typically to meet for weekly 2-hour sessions 2-3 months before a student’s upcoming test and throughout their testing timeline to maintain sufficient momentum. There is an aspect of testing called superscoring, where colleges will combine the best section scores across all of the tests a student has taken. As such, it is in your student’s best interest to take multiple tests and remain consistent with the tutoring throughout his/her entire testing timeline in order to maximize his/her superscore. We try to have our students wrap up testing after just 2 tests if possible.
It’s important to note that the approach I and my tutors use will not only increase students’ scores, but it will also teach them the most essential skills that they will need to thrive in college and for the rest of their lives: key multiple-choice testing strategies, crucial grammar/punctuation rules, fundamental math for practical applications, reading comprehension, and critical thinking/problem solving.
