I’ve had this conversation enough times to know exactly where it goes sideways: a parent hears “240 points” and starts imagining a specific technique they can ask me for by name. There isn’t one. What there is, every single time, is the same three-part process — diagnose specifically, target relentlessly, practice realistically — applied to whatever that particular student’s specific gaps turn out to be. It’s not exciting. It’s also the only version of this that has ever actually worked for anyone I’ve tutored, and I’ve stopped apologizing for how ordinary that sounds.
