Courses and Tutoring

Classroom Courses
MostPrep is the official SAT-prep provider at Faith Lutheran, running in-house classes for Faith students several times a year. MostPrep does not run any other classroom courses, but we are happy to work with small groups of students who are preparing for the same administration of the SAT/ACT exams. This option is perfect for groups of friends who are on approximately the same score level and can commit to the same time slot. This may be a good option for many parents. Contact MostPrep for more information.

Private tutoring for standardized tests
This is the crux of what we do! MostPrep accepts students on an ongoing basis, though we generally become fully booked approximately three months in advance of each test's administration. Package deals are available; contact MostPrep to find out more.

Academic tutoring
We are aware that students need help all year -- sometimes just for a week or two, and sometimes throughout the year. Our busiest months are January-April (leading up to the March and May SATs) and September/October (leading up to the PSAT and fall SATs). We are happy to take on additional tutoring clients during these times if possible. 

College Counseling

Many students go into this process thinking that they know where they want to attend college — a friend or relative attends that school, they like that school's football team, that college is on the beach, etc. — but they really don't know if that college will be the right fit for them. Finding the college that best fits your needs, goals, and personality can save tens of thousands of dollars in extra tuition and fees that often results from transferring schools and changing majors.

Dan Buikema has been a college counselor in Las Vegas since 2005 and has a wealth of experience in all aspects of college counseling, including but not limited to aiding in students’ applications and financial-aid forms, easing students’ stress about college interviews, helping student-athletes find the best possible placement, helping fine-arts students organize portfolios and/or auditions to university programs and conservatories, and helping students navigate the community-college route prior to university. Several of Dan’s students have received acceptances to the country’s most elite universities. According to Dan, his job is to help students learn about themselves, career options and university choices so they can better understand their options and find the right fit for their post-high-school lives. Not only does Dan serve as your guide during this discovery process, but he will also be there to help with everything concerning the college-application process. Dan is currently an assistant principal at Faith Lutheran High School, and also originated and serves as Dean for the school’s new Honors Institute, which was designed specifically to help students prepare and qualify for elite universities.
