Strongin Learning was founded by Lindsay Strongin, a USC graduate and academic coach with more than 10 years of experience helping students improve grades, strengthen writing skills, raise SAT and ACT scores, and successfully navigate the college admissions process.

As someone who genuinely loved school—and firmly believes every student deserves the opportunity to succeed—Lindsay founded Strongin Learning to help students build confidence, improve academic performance, and develop the skills needed for long-term success. Her approach transforms challenging concepts into clear, engaging frameworks that help students truly understand and retain what they're learning.

Lindsay has extensive experience supporting students with ADHD, dyslexia, executive functioning challenges, and other learning differences. Many of the students she works with are bright, motivated learners who benefit from additional structure, organization strategies, and personalized academic coaching to reach their full potential.

Every student receives an individualized plan tailored to their goals, learning style, and academic needs. Strongin Learning provides one-on-one tutoring, academic coaching, SAT and ACT preparation, college essay coaching, college admissions coaching, writing support, study skills instruction, executive functioning coaching, and standardized test preparation for students in grades 8–12, as well as college students.

Beyond improving grades and test scores, Strongin Learning helps students develop the confidence, organization, and independent learning skills that continue to benefit them long after tutoring ends. Lindsay also partners with families and educators when appropriate to create consistent, effective support for each student.

Strongin Learning has helped students raise grades, improve SAT and ACT scores, gain admission to competitive colleges and universities, and build lasting academic confidence. Visit the Testimonials page to hear directly from students and families about their experiences.
