Expert instruction, made personal

Johns Creek High School is located in Johns Creek, one of America’s safest cities and one of Metro Atlanta’s most affluent, education-focused communities. The school has a deep AP course catalog, a strong record of college placements, and a student body where high achievement is the norm rather than the exception. Parental engagement is exceptionally high, and the school offers a strong arts program alongside its rigorous academics. This environment creates a specific challenge: when everyone is performing well, standing out requires precision.

Johns Creek High students often have strong GPAs and solid extracurricular profiles, but the SAT or ACT is where many discover that classroom success does not automatically translate to test success. These exams reward specific strategies, timing, and patterns that classroom instruction does not directly address. That gap is exactly where targeted preparation makes the biggest difference.

My No Assumption methodology starts with a comprehensive diagnostic. I identify exactly where your student stands on the SAT or ACT, independent of their GPA. Then I build a plan that focuses every session on the areas with the highest return.

Johns Creek High students get 1-on-1 instruction with Michael, SAT prep and academic coaching customized to their course load. Every session is with the same instructor, with the continuity that group classes can't replicate.

What I help with

SAT preparation

A diagnostic-first test prep program that works from where the points are actually leaving. Johns Creek High students targeting UGA Honors, Georgia Tech, Emory, and competitive out-of-state schools need test scores that reinforce what their transcripts already show.

AP & honors course support

Private instruction in math, science, and English at the AP and honors levels. Johns Creek High offers a wide range of AP courses, and students managing heavy loads benefit from individualized support that keeps them sharp across all subjects without burning out.

College admissions strategy

Strategic guidance on course selection, transcript positioning, and application narrative. In a school where hundreds of students graduate with strong profiles each year, differentiating your student’s application is a strategic exercise, not a creative one.

Subject-specific support

Targeted instruction in math, science, and English for students who need to close specific gaps or deepen their command of challenging material. I work at your student’s pace, not the classroom’s.

Not calculus, not physics, and not the ACT as a whole. If that is what your student needs, I’ll say so on the first call and point you to someone who does it well.

Remote sessions built for Johns Creek schedules

Johns Creek High students juggle AP courses, athletics, leadership roles, and college prep simultaneously. My remote sessions are designed to slot into that reality: live, one-on-one, and scheduled around your student’s existing commitments.

Every session includes video, shared documents, real-time whiteboard work, and direct instruction. No commute, no group classes, no wasted time. Your student works from home with a dedicated tutor who knows their plan inside and out.

Custom plans, not cookie-cutter programs

Johns Creek families have access to dozens of tutoring options. Most of them run the same playbook: large groups, standardized curricula, and rotating instructors. That approach produces average results for average students. Your student is neither.

I work with a deliberately small roster. Every plan is custom, every session is private, and the average improvement between a first and second sitting is 140 to 260 points, across 45 test takers in the last twelve months. Every engagement begins with a first call to assess fit, map your student’s profile, and build a plan designed specifically for them.

Questions I get

Anything not covered here, ask me directly. (706) 389-0528.

JCHS students most commonly target UGA, Georgia Tech, Emory, and Auburn, along with competitive out-of-state schools such as University of Michigan, NYU, and various UC campuses. The college list varies by student, but the common thread is that Johns Creek families set high expectations and build competitive applications.
My students typically improve between 150 and 300+ points on the SAT. The exact gain depends on starting score, how much time is available before the test date, and how consistently the student engages with the plan. Students starting in the 1000 to 1100 range often see the largest jumps; students starting above 1300 tend to see more targeted, precise gains.
Yes. I offer SAT preparation. Every engagement begins with a diagnostic that helps determine which test is the better fit for your student based on their score profile, timing tendencies, and content strengths. Some students perform significantly better on one test versus the other, and I identify that before committing to a plan.
Everything up to and including Precalculus, plus Statistics — which covers the sequence where most students actually come unstuck, because a shaky Algebra 2 is usually what a hard Precalculus year is really about. I don’t teach calculus. If your student is already in AP Calculus, I’ll say so on the first call.
Ideally, SAT preparation should begin in the spring of sophomore year or the fall of junior year. This timing gives your student enough room to take the diagnostic, build skills, and sit for the test at least twice without rushing. Starting earlier provides more flexibility; starting later can still produce strong results but with less margin.
