Welcome to my profile! As the Founder and CEO of MindFlow Speed Reading and City Test Prep, I have dedicated over 30 years to helping students excel in high-stakes admissions tests, including the ACT. My unique approach combines accelerated reading techniques and mindset tools, which are often missing from traditional test prep programs. These methods have helped thousands of students improve their reading speed by up to 5x and boost their scores by up to 28% on reading comprehension sections. I am passionate about empowering students to achieve their highest potential through customized action plans and holistic coaching. Our many years of experience guiding students through the ACT, we've developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges the ACT presents. Our approach is built on a thorough knowledge of each ACT section and the strategies required to excel, meeting the students where they need the most help. We provide students with a personalized study plan that targets their specific strengths and areas for growth, helping them build both knowledge and confidence. My methods are rooted in proven techniques to enhance focus, manage time effectively, and approach each section with a clear strategy, ultimately reducing the stress and anxiety often associated with high-stakes testing. In our work, we have seen students face a wide range of difficulties, from pacing issues to question misinterpretations. I draw on this experience to help students develop practical skills for each section, like quick reading strategies for the Reading section, effective elimination techniques for English, and clear, methodical approaches to the Science and Math sections. Beyond test content, I prioritize helping students become resilient and adaptable test-takers who can manage stress, stay composed under pressure, and ultimately achieve their best possible score, all within their timeline.
