Gharad Test Prep
A structured, results-driven approach to score mastery.
Unlock your target score by mastering foundational concepts and test-specific design logic, rather than relying on rote practice alone.
Students gain access to over 50 full-length practice tests and unlimited adaptive questions powered by IXL.
1. Foundations
- Diagnostic Analysis: We begin with a deep dive into your baseline scores and prior performance.
- Personalized Roadmap: We identify skill gaps and create a custom milestone plan to target your goal score efficiently.
2. Instruction
- Curated Content: We use official test-maker resources to ensure concepts are mastered within the context of real exams.
- Interactive Learning: Students actively solve problems on a digital whiteboard. Sessions are recorded for anytime review.
3. Assessment & Recalibration
- Error Analysis: We identify recurring patterns in missed questions to build defensive test-taking habits.
- Periodic Diagnostics: Regular assessments allow us to recalibrate the roadmap and focus on high-impact areas.

Zakiy tutored my daughter for the ACT. The results were nothing short of spectacular. Zakiy is incredibly smart, has a lovely disposition with parents and students, is prompt and communicative, and most importantly, clearly knows what he is doing. Result: 7 point composite increase with 6-8 point improvement in every test area!

I want to THANK you... in your 2 sessions with Graham, he pulled his Reading from a 24 to a 33 and his English from a 25 to a 29!!! You are amazing! I wish I would have had him work with you earlier

Zakiy has been so positive for my son. We were working on a goal for his SAT (which he took last weekend). My son came home from the test and said that he felt confident that he scored almost perfect on math

After Amherst College, I launched my private tutoring business and began work in curriculum and instructional design. I would also work with Reading Partners in literacy intervention, helping K-5 readers in Wards 7 and 8 of Washington DC. Currently, I work for one of the premier tutoring companies in the DC region as a full-test SAT and ACT specialist.
I've always had a knack for standardized test taking, having scored a 36 on the ACT and 1580 on the SAT on the way to being named a National Merit Finalist and AP Scholar with Distinction.
In the last 8 years, I've turned mastery of the tested material into highly effective, individualized instruction. I have helped more than 400 students reach their goal scores, and have 4000+ hours of 1:1 test prep experience.
