Hi there, I’m Michele
Coaches have shaped my life since I was a child. As a young swimmer, my coaches taught me how consistent habits and strategic practice can lead to meaningful, measurable improvement. As an adult, coaches guided me through career transitions, helping me stay focused, accountable, and confident in my goals.
​
Those experiences shaped the philosophy behind The Test Prep Coach.
I believe that with the right guidance, every student can learn to study more effectively, approach exams with confidence, so they can show colleges what they’re truly capable of.
​
As a test prep coach, I work with each student to create a fully customized study plan—one that fits their goals, learning style, and schedule. I provide accountability and structure, but I also teach the strategies that matter most: how to read actively, annotate with purpose, approach each question type, and use test-taking techniques that allow their knowledge to shine through.
​
My approach is Socratic and highly interactive. Students aren’t passively watching a screen; they’re engaged, thinking critically, and practicing the exact skills they’ll use on test day. Every session involves active reading, strategic problem-solving, and step-by-step reasoning so improvement becomes predictable—not accidental.
​
As a veteran homeschooling mom, I also understand the unique challenges that non-traditional students face when preparing for standardized tests.
I’ve been tutoring since 2009—back when tutors still drove from house to house. When I embraced online tutoring in 2016 to be able to reach students all over the world, I discovered that with the right tools, virtual sessions can be even more dynamic and effective than in-person instruction.
​
Since then, I’ve had the privilege of helping students around the world raise their scores, build confidence, and gain admission to universities where they can truly thrive and become their best selves.
When it’s time for college applications, strong transcripts and compelling essays help students tell their story—but strong test scores help ensure that their academic potential is unmistakable. If you’re ready to help your student achieve their personal best, I’d love to talk.
