JL ACADEMICS is headed by Jonathan Laurence, author of 5 Practice Tests for SAT Math, honors graduate of and varsity golfer at Williams College, and former top academic coach at a leading national tutoring company in New York City where he worked with Ivy+ bound students of all educational backgrounds before launching his own bespoke practice in 2019. Jonathan is consistently celebrated for his ability to connect with each student and family and - above all - for producing results well-above those of large tutoring outfits.
SAT/ACT
“Jonathan worked with energy, enthusiasm, and diligence, connecting with our son in a way we found refreshing and genuine. Not only did Jonathan help raise our son’s SAT score over 200 points, but he consistently shared valuable and reliable resources from his own experience as a scholar-athlete, even putting our son in contact with current students and alumni at the colleges he was targeting. We are immensely thankful to Jonathan for his guidance.”
ADMISSIONS COUNSELING
“Jonathan was prompt, communicative, and consistently professional in his work with our daughter. Not to mention effective — he helped raise [Emily’s] ACT score to a perfect 36. Emily then decided to work with Jonathan further on her college essay. We are so proud of her. We recommend Jonathan without reservation.”
