About Priya

Priya wrote score plans for a national test company, then left because the plans were better when she knew the student. She does not assign every problem in the book. She assigns the ones that move the number, and she is frank about which ones to skip.

Test preparationMathematics

How a lesson goes

  1. Read the last score report before assigning a single drill

  2. Build a section order and a skip rule the student can say from memory

  3. Hand the math or the essay to Amara or Leila when the gap is content, not pacing
