About
ABOUT ME: I am the founder of ConnectPrep and an award winning Thumbtack educator. I take a modern, strategy based approach to tutoring that helps students understand what they are learning, build confidence, and see measurable results. I work with students across K to 12 and college, including AP and IB, and I specialize in test prep and academic skill building. TUTORING AND TEST PREP: I offer one on one tutoring and test prep in all core subjects and most electives, plus AP and IB support. Test prep includes SAT, ACT, PSAT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, TACHS, and SAT Subject Tests. My goal is to simplify complex material, connect concepts, and teach students how to think through questions efficiently. Many of my students reach top score percentiles on standardized tests because we focus on both content and strategy. SCHOOL AND COLLEGE SUPPORT: Overwhelmed with schoolwork or falling behind in a class. I can help quickly. Sessions are scheduled around your availability and tailored to your learning style. I work with both public and private school curricula and support students who need structure, accountability, and clear next steps. LEARNING CHALLENGES AND EXECUTIVE FUNCTION: I have extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, CAPD, and executive function challenges. We focus on organization, planning, study systems, and confidence, along with the academic content itself. The goal is sustainable independence, not short term fixes. COLLEGE ADVISING: ConnectPrep supports students through the full college process. Building a strong college list, activities and internships, athletic recruiting support, resumes, essays, interview prep, application strategy for ED, EA, REA, RD, and transfer, and financial aid and scholarship planning. I prioritize fit and outcomes. Academics, culture, programs, and long term goals. Students I have supported have been admitted to highly competitive universities and specialized programs including direct medical, engineering, business, and fine arts tracks, with many earning significant merit aid and strong financial aid packages. GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL ADVISING: We also support graduate, medical, law, and other professional school applicants. We help students craft a clear narrative, build a competitive profile, write standout personal statements and essays, strengthen CVs, choose recommenders, and prepare for interviews. We also provide test prep support for exams such as the MCAT, LSAT, GRE, and GMAT. Teaching is what I love. I take pride in helping students break through plateaus, feel confident, and achieve goals that once felt out of reach.

I couldn’t be happier with the tutoring services provided by ConnectPrep! The personalized 1:1 approach, thorough understanding of the material, and patience shown by the tutors have made a huge difference for my son. The progress we’ve seen in both academic performance and test scores is remarkable. ConnectPrep goes above and beyond, offering not just tutoring but a complete support system tailored to the student’s needs. I highly recommend them to any parent or student looking for top-notch academic guidance!

As a person who was a little more than rusty when it came to arithmetic, Manny was really helpful getting me refreshed on my math skills. With a bachelor’s in biology and all my university math credit being earned in high school AP/IB exams, I was definitely out of practice. I’d already gotten into graduate school but I wanted to prep for an entry scholarship opportunity. He was patient and efficient in his approach. This experience also helped me realize how crucial it is to have preparation and tutoring from someone who is well-versed in the exam. There were many valuable skills he taught me in the short time I had prior to my exam. His plans were able to cover a lot of ground in a short time. Manny’s outlook and methods made the exam less intimidating and results more attainable. As a tutor, he is direct, realistic, and personable. Manny is an observant and adaptive tutor as well, willing to look at concepts from different angles. He is good at visualizing and explaining concepts as well. I felt more confident in my abilities and potential after getting tutored by Manny. If you’re wondering whether you should consider tutoring, do yourself a favor and start sooner rather than later by getting scheduled with Manny. He’s brilliant. Just go for it. I’ve met my fair share of tutors and different types for subjects, university level for science major courses. I asked for his help under tense circumstances and his tutelage surprised me. Not many could’ve tutored me as effectively as he did given the circumstances. And he has all my thanks and praise for it.

ConnectPrep provided us with plan and instructions on how to prepare in order for my son to achieve success on his SAT. He has reached a 1520 so far, about 300 points from Start. Jeremy and his team provided individualized instruction personalized to my son. I highly recommend ConnectPrep to anyone needing SAT tutoring. We are also working with college prep sessions with Jeremy. His guidance has been super informative and encouraging.

Jeremy Fine is an amazing tutor for test preparation and college guidance. I came to him looking for practice to better my ACT score. However, I received much more. He gave me a planned study schedule and helped me improved my test taking. I was able to up my ACT score from a 26 to a 32 all thanks to Jeremy. I also was not prepared for the college application process, but Jeremy led me through the process and thanks to him I got accepted to Purdue University, Arizona State University, Auburn University, North Carolina State, and Texas A&M. Now I am going for a degree in Electrical Engineering at Auburn University. Jeremy keeps students engaged and ready to learn as they progress making him an awesome tutor.
