Homework Forge

The SAT platform I built for my own students

Twenty years of teaching, distilled into software: adaptive SAT practice where every original question passes a blind quality gate, every stuck student gets an AI helper that teaches instead of telling, and I can see exactly what each student needs next.

What It Looks Like

The student dashboard: readiness at a glance, and the skills that need attention today — picked automatically.

How Questions Get Made

Anyone can generate practice questions. The hard part is questions that are genuinely indistinguishable from the real test — and provably fair. Mine earn their way into the bank:

1

Written to spec

Every question is built from a per-skill template: the reasoning it must test, the wrong-answer logic, the difficulty band.

2

Solved blind

An independent checker re-solves each question from the student-facing text alone. If the intended answer doesn’t hold up, the question dies.

3

The blind taste test

Real SAT questions and mine, shuffled, unmarked. If I can reliably tell which is which, the whole batch fails and gets rewritten. Passing means indistinguishable.

Beyond Practice Sets

Teach-One lessons

Interactive skill lessons that get a stuck student unstuck without a tutor in the room. First skill live; more in build.

AI tutoring helper

In-app "Confused? Ask" support: a hint ladder plus a Socratic chat that teaches toward the answer instead of giving it away. Live since June 2026.

Question pipeline

A production line for writing, checking, and difficulty-banding original SAT questions — with hard quality gates at every step.

Free tools

Score predictor, practice planners, and more — free on the tools hub.

I've Done This in Schools Before

The platform is new. The teaching behind it isn't.

Progress High School (NYC DOE), 2006–2011

Full-time math teacher, Bushwick. Regents pass rate of 70% in 2008 and 2009 vs 50% school-wide; 100% in two classes.

Wadleigh Scholars Program, 2012–2017

SSAT prep for a Harlem independent-school pipeline. 2016: all six scholars improved in seven weeks. 2022: 27th to 82nd percentile on an official sitting. Placements include Westminster, Salisbury, and Westtown.

Comp Sci High, 2026

Weekly small-group ELL tutoring, February–June. One student passed both Regents exams — "no small achievement given where she started" (school social worker).
