Test Prep for Students
in Farmington, Simsbury, CT & Beyond

Intangibles

People have described me as a “brain whisperer.” While getting to know a student, I figure out how they think and how they absorb information. This is the cornerstone of the entire process. My job is not to change how your child learns – it is to understand how they are wired and leverage that. No prep book or canned group class can do the same.

Rigorous

It's tough out there, and standardized testing is no exception. My students are expected to commit to the process and put in the work required to improve. I guide the process and coach, but there is no process if the student doesn't invest time outside of our sessions. I will let you know if you are throwing your money away.

Test Prep for Students with Learning Differences

Students with ADHD and dyslexia often possess strong intelligence, creativity, and problem-solving ability, yet conventional standardized test prep programs are typically built around rigid pacing, heavy reading loads, and generalized instruction that doesn’t reflect how their brains process information. Many of these students grasp concepts well but struggle with sustained attention, timing pressure, working memory demands, reading efficiency, or inconsistent execution during high-stakes exams. Effective test prep for students with ADHD and test prep for students with dyslexia must address more than academic content; it must incorporate executive function development, cognitive strategy, and structured performance systems tailored to how each student learns. 


At Catalyze Test Prep & LD Coaching, we deliver specialized, learning-difference-informed coaching that integrates attention management, pacing frameworks, comprehension strategy, memory supports, and test-taking psychology into a personalized plan. Whether a student receives accommodations or tests under standard conditions, we align test prep with their cognitive strengths while building reliable structures to support areas of challenge, resulting in stronger scores, improved consistency, and lasting academic confidence.
