It's not just test prep. It's life prep

Lots of tutors understand their subjects, but you need someone who understands YOU. You can do more than achieve a better score or GPA. You can learn to take control of stress, improve your self-awareness and resilience, and build a foundation for lasting success anywhere you go.

That is my focus, my mission, and my track record . I know because I’ve done it. I provide highly customized academic support to help you stay on top of whatever challenges you choose to tackle. I also train tutors to go beyond the test questions and textbooks to what really matters: the endless search for the horizon. I don’t just want you to reach your goals for the next test or the next semester. I want you to get there by developing skills that will serve you for a lifetime and go beyond the test questions and textbooks to what really matters: the endless search for the horizon.

Testimonials

What our Clients say about us
I have learned so much more from you than just how to be better at the ACT. I figured out a lot more about myself with your help.
Today, I was accepted to Princeton University! It has always been my dream to go there, and I would not have had such success without your help. Last year I came to you with very low self-esteem and a lack of motivation. I started to believe in myself because I saw that YOU believed in me. You have taught me so much, and I would not be where I am today without you.
I got into Harvard! I wanted to let you know because you were so influential in a crucial part of my process… I hope you know how much I valued our sessions
My daughter always looked forward to working with Justin. His ability to know when to challenge her and when to offer encouragement were evident in her greatly improved standardized test scores. Justin is patient, knowledgeable, and his interest in his students is evident in their rapport. I highly recommend him.
[Our daughter] has always found his style of teaching and his demeanor to be incredibly helpful. We are thrilled that he has been able to hit the nail on the head with exactly who our daughter is.  I will also say that he is incredibly talented to have gained this insight so quickly.  This says a tremendous amount about his capabilities.
[My daughter] has a wonderful game plan that she and Justin put together.  Justin has been absolutely fantastic.
[My daughter] admires you greatly.
Thank you, Justin, for all of your help and support...  You are a rock star!

The Rocket Prep Difference

What sets us apart?

We build skills that last a lifetime. We work with each student to develop personalized learning andcomprehension tools that will improve their chances of successthroughout their life.

It's not just test prep. It's life prep

I Make sure the achievement is yours not mine

I’ll help you realistically assess the methods and skills you already have. The ones that work will be the basis of our success. I have an eagle eye for things you don’t need my help on. If you can get better at something by practicing on your own, I’m not going to pretend you need me to tell you how to do it.Instead, I’ll help you figure out a plan to practice – with no more oversight and feedback than you absolutely need – so we can focus our time in session on the things we need to do together. I won’t just dictate exercises and assignments to you. I’ll help you figure out what to do so that, by the time we’re done, you won’t need me to tell you.

“I am the booster, but you’re the main engine”

I have tools - not a one-size-fits-all curriculum

I will never make you follow a pre-set path or drag you through lessons you don’t need. I am constantly assessing and reassessing so we are always focusing on what matters most.

When we get to a challenging question or topic, I won’t just describe a method and demand that you follow it. First, I’ll help you figure out how you can use your own talents and thinking style to tackle it. And if a major shift is required, I’ll help you make that shift in a way that works for you.

“I will meet you where you are”
