In Cole’s words

Eleven admissions seasons in Brooklyn and Manhattan.

A ten-year-old can sit ninety minutes of practice a week and no more, so the plan starts in September rather than in January.

  • 10min

    Bring last week's quiz, the homework that stalled or the syllabus. It gets read before anything else.

  • 15min

    You pick a question out of that pile and the two of you finish it together, out loud.

  • 5min

    A plan with the number of lessons written down, and no card asked for to hear it.

Every one of them left after a lesson with Cole

a week ago

Six weeks of Saturday mornings and not one of them moved. Her practice score rose in five of the six.

The score sat still through two attempts on my own. Working the four question types I kept missing, over and over, moved it a full band on the third try.

Four practice papers, each one scored and walked through inside the same week. My daughter came out of the last one in the top 10%.
