Tutoring for Northview High School students
Private SAT prep and academic coaching for students at Northview High, where a culture of high achievement means the bar for college readiness keeps rising.
Expert instruction, made personal
Northview High School has built a reputation as one of the strongest academic high schools in the Johns Creek area, anchored by its selective academic magnet program that attracts students from across the district. The magnet creates an unusually competitive peer group with rigorous STEM and humanities tracks, and Northview consistently produces National Merit scholars. The AP participation rate is high, the student body is motivated, and the families in this community have invested specifically in an environment where college preparation is taken seriously from day one.
Northview students tend to be well-rounded: strong transcripts, meaningful extracurriculars, and clear college goals. The challenge is that this description also fits thousands of other applicants at their target schools. When every student in the applicant pool has a 4.0 and a full resume, the SAT or ACT score becomes a critical differentiator.
My No Assumption methodology begins with a diagnostic that reveals exactly where your student can gain the most points on the SAT or ACT. I do not teach to a generic curriculum. I identify your student’s specific gaps and strengths, then build a plan that maximizes their score improvement in the time available.
Northview High students get 1-on-1 instruction with Michael, SAT prep and academic coaching customized to Northview’s demanding curriculum. Every session is with the same instructor, with the continuity that group classes can't replicate.
What I help with
SAT preparation
Northview students often start with solid baselines, which means the path to a top score is about precision, not volume. My diagnostic-first program identifies exactly which question types and strategies will produce the biggest gains, works from where the points are actually leaving.

Even strong students carry gaps from earlier coursework that surface under pressure. I identify and close those gaps in math, science, and English so your student builds on a solid foundation rather than working around weaknesses.
Remote sessions that respect your student’s time
Northview students carry full schedules. Between AP courses, athletics, clubs, and college prep, every hour matters. My fully remote sessions eliminate commute time and give your student focused, expert instruction without adding logistical complexity to your family’s week.
Every session is live, one-on-one, and fully interactive: video, shared documents, real-time whiteboard work, and direct instruction from a dedicated tutor who knows your student’s plan and progress inside and out.
Small roster, big results
Most tutoring services in the Johns Creek area operate on volume: large groups, generic materials, and rotating instructors. That model works for students who need general support. Northview students need something more targeted.
I work with a deliberately small client roster. Every plan is custom-built from diagnostic data, 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 and build a path forward.
