Sound familiar?
First high-stakes test
Often the first time a child has faced a test that carries real consequences. Confidence gets coached alongside the content.
Applying to selective schools
The score is one piece of an application with a deadline. Prep is planned backwards from the test date the school requires.
Anxious about testing
Capable students who freeze on timed work. Familiarity with the format does most of the work here.

How admissions prep works
Free diagnostic
We start with a full-length diagnostic and a conversation. It reveals exactly where a student stands, and where the fastest gains are hiding.
A plan with purpose
Telos means purpose. Every student gets a clear, personalized roadmap tied to a concrete score goal, tracked in TestTracker so progress is never a mystery.
Weekly accountability
Focused sessions plus daily practice and check-ins. We target the weak points from the week, then work toward true mastery of each skill.
Confidence on test day
Preparation builds calm. Students walk in knowing the material and the strategy, and walk out with scores that reflect the work.
What it costs.
1:1 hourly and pay-as-you-go, with no minimum commitment. Your rate is locked when you enroll and stays unchanged for as long as you keep the service.

* Plus a $330 one-time materials fee.
Common questions.
Which test does my child need?
The school sets it, and requirements vary between independent and parochial schools. Bring your school list to the free consultation and we'll confirm which exam applies before prep begins.
Is my child too young for test prep?
The coaching is built to be age-appropriate and confidence-first, which matters more at this age than at any other. For most younger students the biggest gain is simply knowing what the test looks like before test day.
Will I know how it's going?
Yes. Parents are kept in the loop throughout, and progress is tracked in TestTracker so it's visible rather than something you have to ask about.
