By consultation only
Private SAT, ACT, GRE & GMAT Tutoring for Exceptional Families
One tutor. One student. A curriculum built from evidence and a standard set at the top percentile. We accept a limited number of students each cycle. Admission is by consultation.
The practice
Test preparation, practiced the way serious professions are practiced
Most test preparation is a product: a class, a book, a bank of questions. Segal Standard is a practice. We take on a limited number of students each cycle, diagnose before we teach, build every curriculum for a single student, and measure our work in official score reports. Our tutors have themselves scored in the 99th percentile of the exams they teach, and they teach one student at a time — never groups, never a substitute.
Examinations
Four exams. One discipline.
SAT
Precision on the 1600 scale. For families targeting 1500 and above, where four wrong answers is the entire margin.

ACT

For doctoral, master's, and MBA applicants targeting 165+ per section, on schedules built around working lives.

The Segal Method

Diagnose
A full-length official test, analyzed question by question, before anyone teaches anything.
02
Design
A written curriculum built for one student — hours allocated by evidence, not syllabus.
03
Instruct
Sixty-minute private sessions. One tutor, one student, never groups.
04
Recalibrate
Practice tests every few weeks, each reviewed in writing, each redirecting the plan.
Outcomes
We measure our work in score reports
Every engagement sets a specific, evidence-based target after the diagnostic — and we decline engagements where we do not believe the target is achievable. Representative score improvements, and the preparation behind each, are documented on our results page.

Begin with a conversation
Every engagement begins with a private consultation: the student, the goal, the timeline, and an honest assessment of whether we are the right practice for the work.
