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