A Unique and Universal Approach

Working with David Benjamin Gruenbaum is the best choice for SAT/ACT preparation because he provides a unique and successful experience for each student that impacts them permanently. Over the years, Mr. Gruenbaum has helped many students achieve substantially higher SAT/ACT scores. He achieves this success through a new style of tutoring he invented called Macro. Macro means that Mr. Gruenbaum focuses on each student’s main studying and testing characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.

Every student is different and their learning styles and challenges differ, as well. Some common test-taking traits that often go unaddressed include:

Students who second-guess themselves (thereby changing right answers to wrong ones)
Students who tend to be perfectionists (which keeps them from getting through tests in time)
Students who “burn out” by the end of the test (which hurts their final score because their second-half performance drops significantly from their first-half numbers)

By uncovering undesirable test-taking traits, Mr. Gruenbaum helps his students overcome these problems so that they can often have much greater success not only on the SAT and ACT, but in subjects in school as well.

Over the years, Mr. Gruenbaum has helped many students achieve perfect ACT and SAT scores, and he has also helped many students move their SAT/ACT scores from good to excellent. But, Mr. Gruenbaum is also equally at ease and effective when working with students who are starting off with average or even low SAT/ACT scores. For many students, working with David Benjamin Gruenbaum can be a life-changer because their study skills, test-taking ability, and motivation are all impacted. After working with Mr. Gruenbaum, many students report that school is significantly easier for them.

During the last 30 years, Mr. Gruenbaum has personally taught over 8,000 students and is a nationally-recognized SAT and ACT expert. He has appeared on CBS’s Early Show and Fox National News, and his work has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, Newsweek, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and the San Francisco Chronicle.

At AHEAD OF THE CLASS, students only work with David Benjamin Gruenbaum – no college students, no part-time tutors. Mr. Gruenbaum is known for his novel short cuts, which allow students to not only speed up their test-taking, but often to finish training in a shorter period of time.

Mr Gruenbaum’s students have been accepted to every major college in the country (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, U. of Chicago, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Duke, Notre Dame, Cal Tech, MIT, etc.) and his students regularly are offered large academic scholarships at top-tier colleges. These scholarship offers are, of course, completely dependent on achieving a stellar GPA, high SAT/ACT scores, and applying to the right colleges.

David Benjamin Gruenbaum is a graduate of the University of Chicago with a BA in psychology and economics. The University of Chicago is consistently ranked one of the top ten colleges in the country.

Going Beyond SAT and ACT

Our one-on-one instruction preparation program makes it possible for students to gain training for both the SAT and ACT, which helps them to determine which test is easier for them.

However, David’s tutoring and unique methodology are applied to more than just SAT/ACT test preparation. He also helps students change the way they look at language and vocabulary.

In addition to SAT in-home tutoring, David’s one-on-one instruction can help students develop permanent scholastic skills. They will learn how to read more quickly and efficiently, how to write better essays, and how to think logically in math subjects. In addition, they can become better test-takers.

David’s instruction helps improve a student’s test-taking skills in general and many students find all school tests become easier, as well.

The cost of one-on-one training with David Benjamin Gruenbaum is dependent on location and number of sessions. In-person instruction with David is available in select Northern California areas. (One-on-one instruction is also available to anyone in the world with our online program, ONLIVE.)
