BEAT the SAT
with Dr. Marissa Ericson
a 20+ year test prep and college admissions expert
With more than 40 years of combined test prep and college admissions experience, we have mentored thousands of students for the SAT, ACT, and college applications essays!
YOUR POD COACH:
Marissa earned her Ph.D in Clinical Neuroscience from USC and BA from Cornell University. She is currently a data scientist, professor, and statistician. She focuses her research on cognitive processes, learning, and, in recent years, stress and resilience, the effects of meditation and mindfulness on the brain, neurofeedback, and consciousness.
Marissa has over 20 years experience as an SAT/ACT mentor, SAT/ACT test writer, college application reviewer, college interviewer, & expert graduate essay editor. Her goal is to help all individuals create calm and resilience, transcending testing environments, and affecting all areas of life.
She leads the POD. If you sign up for 1:1 tutoring or a POD, she will be the one teaching (not a random tutor with 1-2 years experience…!)
