Meet your tutors

Two brothers. Both got in. Both still remember the test.

We're not paid tutors who studied this from a textbook. We're brothers who recently sat through the same exam you're about to take — and we know exactly what makes the difference.

Questions

FAQ

The stuff parents and students ask us most.

When does the November cohort start, and can I still join?
The six sessions run Sundays, Nov 29 through Jan 3, finishing six days before the Jan 9 writing test. Admission is rolling — we take students as they sign up and close the cohort once it's full. If you're reading this and the sign-up button is still live, there's still room.
How does 1-on-1 tutoring work?
Private sessions are $30/hour. Pick a day and time on the calendar in the 1-on-1 section and send the request — we'll confirm availability by email within 24 hours, then send Zelle details. Sessions can cover anything: your own SPS drafts, PSE practice, or whatever you're stuck on.
Which course is right for my student?
If your student is in 7th grade or below, start with Starting Your TJ Journey. If they're an 8th grader taking the test this January, The Final Showdown is the one enrolling now. Locking In on TJ is the full summer course and opens again in spring for summer 2027.
Can my student take more than one course?
Absolutely — and many will. A student might take "Starting Your TJ Journey" in 6th or 7th grade, "Locking In on TJ" the summer before 8th, and "The Final Showdown" right before the test. Returning students get priority enrollment.
What if my student misses a class?
Every class is recorded and shared with enrolled students. We also stay reachable between classes for quick catch-up questions.
Are materials included?
Yes. All worksheets, practice problems, mock tests, and review materials are included in the price of every course.
How is this different from other TJ prep programs?
We just took the test. We're not adults teaching from a curriculum we made years ago — we're brothers who walked into the same exam your student will take, and we remember exactly what mattered and what didn't.
What if my student needs to drop out?
Reach out and we'll work it out. We want this to be fair for families.
How do I know my spot is confirmed?
Once we receive your Google Form sign-up and Zelle payment, we'll reply within 24 hours confirming the spot and sharing the first class link.

Six weeks left. Then test day.

The November cohort is enrolling now on rolling admission, and the last class lands six days before the January 9 writing test.
