★★★★★ "Brian is the BEST!! He teaches in a way that is SO fun and keeps me coming back because it WORKS! I got a 1550 on my SAT, 35 on ACT, and got accepted to Yale, MIT, and UCLA because of him. Cannot recommend him highly enough!" -Thang from Houston. 1310 -> 1550 in 5 weeks.
------------------
Hi! My name is Brian, and I am an experienced SAT/ACT coach with perfect scores on both tests, math/ELA/essay tutor of 7 years, and successful college admissions advisor. I am so confident in my curriculum and that your child will get results FAST (some as 60-110 points in just one session), that if you are not 100% fully satisfied with a lesson, you don't pay.
80% of my students scored a 1500+ on their SAT, get accepted to every Ivy League school and T20s each year, and earn an average of 100k+ in scholarships towards their dream college. Working with me is an effective and affordable investment into your child’s future success.
I help students increase their grades and stand out in class by increasing accountability and progress tracking and can be contacted 24/7 to fully meet your needs. I enjoy working with students individually to understand their learning and communication styles, hobbies/interests, and life to find interesting analogies to help students grasp difficult concepts - there's a reason my students see me as a warm, personable, and dedicated friend and not just another tutor. If you're tired of tutors "reading off the script" and not being clear in their communication, expectations, and lesson plans, you've come to the right place.
Call or text me at 832-588-0096 or schedule a free 30-minute consultation with me at https://calendly.com/northpointprepacademy. I will get back to you within 2 hours. If not, your first session is free.

""Reviews""
★★★★★ Reena, Johns Hopkins '25: "I had never really worked with a mentor before as I was submitting college applications and was honestly really skeptical about the whole process and how helpful it would be. He completely transformed my college essay and gave me so much insight not just on how my essay could improve but exactly what colleges are looking for that I was able to apply to my other applications. His patience, insight, and genuine care not only improved my writing but made me feel supported and confident during such a stressful time. I’m so thankful that I was able to work with him and shortly after submitting my collegeapp that he edited to Johns Hopkins University I was accepted. I will never forget the time and effort he took out of his day even past working hours to help all of us out and it was truly rewarded."
★★★★★ Michelle, Rice '25 (accepted to Yale & Columbia): " I was super stressed about college admissions and didn't know anyone who had gone through this process before. You really helped me by giving me advice on the application process, but also a look into what college would be like. Your office hours and edits were extremely helpful when writing my essays and it made the process more fun by allowing me to interact with other people instead of being alone. I'm going to be graduating in less than a week which is crazy now that I'm looking back on our experience together. I'll be moving back to Virginia and starting a job as a software engineer! Overall, I would definitely recommend anyone looking for help with admissions to work with you!"
★★★★★ Thuan, 1140 -> 1530 SAT. "I cannot say enough good things about Brian. Even though English was not my first language, he helped to increase my SAT scores by almost 300 points in 2 months!"
★★★★★ Ngoc (parent) 1030 -> 1440 "“My son was failing english and precalculus in school until he met Brian. For months, Brian helped Andrew not only with the SAT but skills and learning strategies needed for him to succeed in school. He is now an all A student and is more motivated than ever, and is even now leading his own community projects which is an improvement from playing video games all day. Brian improved Andrew's grades and changed his life trajectory”
★★★★★ Ananda, full-ride MIT '25 "Brian was working with QuestBridge at the time and I remember not being available during the day and he went out of his way to stay up late and help us out with editing our essays. Brian was always so collaborative and willing to help and very honest which i think are key pieces in the admissions process and it helped me get into MIT!"
★★★★★ Laura, Harvard '25 (accepted to MIT, Rice, and Yale): "Brian helped me shine as an applicant when I was struggling to write my essays and craft my narrative. Through working with him, I was able to find my voice and craft a compelling application that made me choose between Harvard and MIT"
★★★★★ Mohammad, full-ride Columbia '25 "As an international applicant, I struggled with navigating the college admission system and applying to scholarships while standing out as an applicant. Brian and his team of mentors helped me earn a full-ride, QuestBridge scholarship to Columbia and introduced me to a community of scholars in the process"
★★★★★ Sharon, Yale '24 (accepted to Columbia and MIT): "Working with Brian on my LOCIs and applications helped me get off the waitlist for Columbia and accepted to Yale! I ended up working with Brian mentoring other students and it was such a transformational experience seeing how he worked tireless with other students and being a part of their success too was incredibly rewarding. Brian isn't just a good mentor to learn with, but also to work with".
★★★★★ Johnny: "Brian reached out to me and called me when i postponed a session and asked why. I know that he is willing to work hard and invest time. He is someone who will not only be your tutor but help you with anything."
★★★★★ Isha, WashU '27, M.S.: "Brian was so helpful and really knows how to format and what to include in admissions essays. He is very relatable and understanding and made our session very fun."
