1:1 DAT Coaching · Thomas Cordell

Buy the hours.
Spend them however
you need to.

Four commitment levels — from a single hourly session to 45 hours of deep, multi-month preparation. Every package uses the same 75-minute session cadence and the same MQL, weekly-plan, and practice-test tracking in the portal. Pick by how much runway you have.

510 AA · 99th percentile Incoming D1 dental student Founder · Ace The DAT

Not a tutor who reports to someone else. Not whoever is available that week. Thomas leads every DAT plan directly. The only rotation is PAT & QR — where Sarah's specialist methodology is better than anyone trying to generalist their way through those sections. That's the structure, and it doesn't change based on which package you choose.

Common questions

What students ask
before they start.

Standard cadence is 3 × 75-min sessions per week = 3.75 hours/week. A 15-hour package runs ~4 weeks at that pace; a 30-hour package runs ~8 weeks; a 45-hour package runs ~12 weeks. You can slow down or front-load based on your test date.
Any hourly add-on ($150/hr Thomas, $80/hr Sarah PAT/QR) applies on top of your package whenever you need it. The hourly rate also applies as credit if you decide to upgrade from a smaller package mid-prep.
Yes. Every DAT package includes specialist PAT & QR coaching with Sarah when you hit a wall on those sections. No separate billing, no meter. Thomas routes you to her when the problem is specialty-shaped. She's also available standalone at $80/hr if you want dedicated PAT/QR time beyond the package allotment.
The portal is yours from day one: weekly plan, MQL (missed question log), practice test tracking, session history, and our strategy guides. Live coaching is where we turn that data into decisions — the portal is the system of record, the sessions are the thinking together.
Hours don't expire on a fixed timeline. Portal access runs through the end of the current cycle. If your test moves later, your remaining hours are still there when you're ready to use them.
15-hour: 3 equal monthly payments. 30-hour: 4 monthly payments. 45-hour: 5 monthly payments. No financing fees, no interest — just the package price split evenly. First payment locks your start date; sessions begin immediately.
The 45-hour package includes a score safety net: if you miss your target AA by 1+ point, I give you 5 additional coaching hours free to regroup for a retake. Offered on the 45-hour tier because that's where we've set the expectations that match the commitment.
