Welcome to the website
for families who need to make college more affordable and more valuable for themselves.
This
site is designed by a little known, independent math and science tutor whose hardest working students have lowered their costs
for college by millions of dollars all while vastly improving the quality of their educations. Because one on one tutoring
already has too many people, this site is available for families who may have missed their window of opportunity. All the
information comes from spending over ten thousand hours working directly with students and their families to learn what works
for them. There is no corporate sponsorship, government funding, ads, charitable contributions or secret stalking needed.
Please be aware that there are no guarantees. Whether these strategies work for you may depend a lot on you. Thank you ahead
of time for tolerating a few imperfections and an offbeat sense of humor.
The world has changed.
Here are a couple
good questions to ask yourself. How will you tell which colleges actually care about you and which will just
take your money even if it is not appropriate? How will you tell which college ratings organizations
know what they are talking about and which just do it to make money buttering up rich people (or conning naive families)?

Whether the following strategies
work for you may depend a lot on you. For Teens It's your future. What are you doing about it? It's the digital age.
Everyone is different. What's right for some people isn't always right for others. How will you acquire
the ability to know what is right for you?
For Parents - It's parents' money. Whether college costs actually
change depends on how parents invest their resources early on. Those who develop the right skills and allies have
a big advantage and a lot less stress. Keeping Yourself Informed - But don't worry if you don't, someone else is totally happy to sacrifice
their future for yours. Do you really believe the entitlement hype is actually true?

Unapproved, Unaffiliated and Totally Unsanctioned! No high fallutin' expertise
whatsoever is claimed. Everything on this site is from spending thousands of hours working one on one with students
and their families to see what works and what doesn't. Anyone is welcome to take advantage of the
information on this site. However, please remember that in today's world, there are no guarantees.
Everyone's situation is different and all individuals make their own choices. Reality is that some
of those choices can't be fixed. Solutions should be designed and implemented with that in mind. It is
up to you know and decide which solutions are right for you and your family. Many of the solutions on this
site will only work for a small group of people. They won't work for everybody which is why they won't work in the
public school system. Thank you ahead of time for tolerating my imperfections. It is too busy to always be perfect.
And the people who expect it are usually too difficult to work with, anyways. The secret to a good life is to avoid
the entitled. They are a pain in the .....
Kathy (aka the Wicked Witch of tutoring) is an unorthodox math and science tutor
who focuses her energy on becoming good at what she does and knows better than to take herself too seriously. As an
independent provider, she is able to prioritize using the best of what's available for her students regardless of politics
or marketing. Her hardest working students have been very successful. College is phenomenally expensive; a
lot of people overpay. Once they have wasted their money and their time, it's too late to fix it. Note: This site is designed to let parents and students educate
themselves without having to listen to people who don't know anything blabber on about themselves or have
every little thing they do tracked or judged. It is updated every few months with stuff that has made a difference
for Kathy's students and their families. (Or, just some wacky experiences you wouldn't want to have happen
to you.)
This site does not need to be popular to be effective. It is only designed to help a small group
of people. If you are one of them, that is wonderful.
