ACT/SAT Bootcamp · Inquiries Open
A new generation of ACT and SAT bootcamp. Each student builds their own AI tutor on day one — trained on their weaknesses, available every hour they study, and built to stay with them through retakes, AP exams, and college applications. The AI tutor is included, not sold separately.
Why this is different
The legacy bootcamp model has not meaningfully changed in twenty years. Bigger classes, recycled question banks, the same week-by-week curriculum no matter which student is sitting in the seat. We rebuilt the format from the inside out, around what AI agents make possible now — and what working engineers actually use AI for every day.
Every student builds their own AI tutor during week one of the bootcamp. By week eight, that tutor knows their specific weakness patterns — not generic categories like 'algebra,' but precise patterns like 'consistently misses inference questions in dense reading passages.' Practice questions are generated against those exact gaps. No fixed question bank.
vs. a one-size curriculum no matter which student
Test prep doesn't happen in class. It happens at 10 p.m. on a Tuesday when your child is stuck on a passage they don't understand. The AI tutor answers, explains in the style they learn best, and tracks the question so it shows up again three days later. The tutor lives in your child's AI account and is available from any device with internet.
vs. tutor office hours that end at 9 p.m.
Standard test prep treats every practice session as fresh. We use the memory features of modern AI to track every wrong answer over the full eight weeks — and resurface those exact question types at spaced-repetition intervals (three days, one week, two weeks) so the patterns actually stick.
vs. drill packets the student forgets by Friday
When the eight weeks finish, the tutor is still in your child's AI account. They keep training it for ACT or SAT retakes, AP exams, college essay drafts, future test prep — through college applications and beyond. You are paying for a study system that compounds for years, not a packet that gets recycled.
vs. eight weeks of value, gone when the bootcamp ends
How the AI tutor works
We build each student's AI tutor on the same AI platform working professionals use to ship production software. The tutor is not a chatbot, and it is not ChatGPT. It is a long-running AI agent with memory, with access to your child's specific test-prep history, and built to generate new material against their exact weaknesses.
Every wrong answer your child gives — across every diagnostic, quiz, and full-length practice test — feeds into the AI tutor's memory. After two weeks the tutor has identified granular patterns no human tutor would catch this fast: compound-interest questions with quarterly compounding, inference questions in dense historical passages, function-graph transformations in reverse.
Built on AI memory and project features — the tutor accumulates a longitudinal model of your child specifically.
Once the tutor knows the patterns your child keeps missing, it generates targeted practice questions matched to those exact patterns — not random drills from a fixed bank. Your child builds a personalized, effectively infinite practice library that attacks the specific gaps they keep falling into.
Generates new questions every session based on weakness patterns, calibrated to the question style of the Digital SAT and current ACT.
Each student trains the AI tutor on how they learn. Visual learners get diagram-heavy explanations and worked examples. Step-by-step learners get logical derivations. Conceptual learners get story-form explanations tying ideas to the real world. Over eight weeks the tutor gets better and better at explaining the way your child specifically processes information best.
The student is in charge of shaping how the tutor teaches — a meta-skill that pays off long after the SAT or ACT.
The 8-week arc
Most test prep starts at 'here are the question types.' We start earlier: structure, baseline diagnostics, and your child's AI tutor account. By the end of week eight, your child has both the score-prep work AND a personalized AI study agent they keep using for years.
Test structure deep-dive (Digital SAT module timing or ACT section structure), a full-length baseline diagnostic, and the setup of each student’s personal AI tutor account. By the end of week two, your child has a tutor they can talk to.
Granular weakness analysis. Instructors teach the question-type taxonomy in plain English; students teach their AI tutor to recognize and explain those patterns back to them. Practice volume increases.
The AI tutor generates progressively harder targeted practice against each student's specific gaps. Students teach the AI tutor to explain in their learning style — visual, step-by-step, or conceptual — which makes the tutor a better teacher week after week.
Advanced AI tutor features: cross-session memory of every mistake over the full eight weeks, custom rubrics for writing prompts, and personalized test-day playbooks. The final two weeks are about confidence, consistency, and a polished plan for test day.
Choose your track
Families pick which test their child will focus on — or both, for students keeping their options open. The instruction is calibrated to each test's specific structure (the Digital SAT and the current ACT), but the AI tutor architecture, learning-style adaptation, and 24/7 support model are identical across tracks.
Built around the current Digital SAT format — adaptive Reading & Writing module, Math module with built-in calculator, and the section-timing realities of the new test.
The Digital SAT changed how students should prepare. Adaptive module difficulty means second-module performance depends on first-module accuracy. Embedded calculators change which math shortcuts matter. We teach the test that students will actually sit for.
Built around the four ACT sections (English, Math, Reading, Science) plus optional Writing, with strategy calibrated to the ACT’s distinct timing pressure and question style.
The ACT rewards a different set of test-taking habits than the SAT. The Science section is really a data-interpretation section. The English section punishes overthinking. The ACT timing pressure is more aggressive. We teach the test on its own terms — not as 'the SAT with science.'
For students taking both tests, or keeping their options open during junior year — the AI tutor framework supports both tracks in parallel with full-length practice tests for each.
Some students benefit from preparing for both — different colleges weight them differently, and some students naturally perform better on one. The AI tutor handles both test architectures in parallel, with separate weakness-pattern memory per test so progress on one doesn't get tangled up with the other.
Format and delivery
An eight-week summer intensive — Monday through Friday — built so families get serious volume (real instructional hours, real practice tests, real strategy reps) without the per-hour cost of one-on-one tutoring. The AI tutor extends every classroom hour into the rest of the week.
Each weekday is a structured arc: subject-block instruction in the morning, working lunch, AI-tutor practice session in the early afternoon, and test strategy or full-length-test segments to close. Same expert instructors, same students, same AI tutor framework all eight weeks.
Small instructional groups so every student is known by name and progress pattern. We hit the ratios test prep families actually want — not the lecture-hall class sizes that legacy bootcamps default to.
What students leave with
Every student finishes the bootcamp with the same set of deliverables. The AI tutor is the centerpiece — the asset your child keeps using long after the eight weeks end.
A configured Claude project containing their full diagnostic history, weakness patterns, generated practice library, and personalized explanations. Lives in their AI account. Stays with them.
Real instructor hours with specialist teachers across math, reading & writing (SAT) or English + reading + science (ACT), and test strategy — a higher instructional volume than the legacy bootcamp baseline.
Diagnostic, mid-bootcamp, and final practice tests — every full-length test run under official conditions and analyzed by the AI tutor against each student’s specific weakness patterns.
After the bootcamp ends, your child knows how to keep training the AI tutor — for ACT or SAT retakes, AP exams, college essay drafts, future test prep. The eight weeks are the on-ramp; the AI tutor is the system.
Timeline and availability
We are intentionally piloting the AI-tutor curriculum remotely first, with smaller cohorts of families who want to be part of the early generation. In-person bootcamps are planned for California and Illinois in summer 2028 — and inquiry waitlists are open for both.
Small remote cohorts running on the same eight-week format. We use these cohorts to validate the curriculum, refine the AI tutor setup, and collect score-improvement data for families who want a paper trail before in-person launches.
Inquiries openWider remote enrollment as the curriculum solidifies — open to families anywhere in the U.S. with reliable internet. Same instructors, same AI tutor framework, same eight-week pedagogical arc as the in-person 2028 launch.
Inquiries openThe inaugural in-person bootcamps run in California and Illinois. Families who want their child in the first in-person cohort should inquire early — seats are intentionally limited so the small-group instructional ratios hold.
Waitlist openWho is teaching this
Jinwoong Lee — a 2018 UC Berkeley graduate — is a senior software engineer with eight years of experience building production software at companies that include Amazon and Ring. He also founded CareMAR, software that helps small care homes and hospice facilities replace paper-based medication tracking with an AI-assisted app — built for owners who aren’t technical, in a regulated healthcare environment. That combination — production AI engineering plus a track record of teaching non-technical users to actually adopt AI — is rare in test prep, and it’s the foundation the AI-tutor curriculum is built on.
Companies that include Amazon and Ring. Currently a senior software engineer. The same engineer who builds AI systems at work designs the AI tutor architecture students train in the bootcamp.
Founder of CareMAR (caremar.us), AI-assisted software for small care homes and hospice facilities operating under strict healthcare-privacy rules. Building AI that non-engineers actually use is exactly what the bootcamp teaches students to do.
Eleven years coaching students from his own private practice; mentees placed at Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Northwestern, Georgia Tech, and other top-twenty universities. The teaching style in the bootcamp is the same one those placements were built on.
Most test prep founders are educators who have never built AI. Most AI engineers have never taught a teenager. The ACT/SAT Bootcamp curriculum exists because one person sits at both tables — and that combination is what makes a working personal AI tutor for every student possible.
