Founder-Led, Not Franchise
MJ Prep is run by Michael Jordan: the president of the National Test Prep Association, one of its founding members, and a perfect scorer on both the ACT and SAT. Michael still personally tutors students, and the tutors on his staff are hand-selected and trained to his standards. Whoever sits at your kitchen table (Michael or one of his vetted tutors) has been prepared by him directly.
In Your Coppell Home, On Your Schedule
Kitchen table, living room, dining room: wherever your student studies best. We come to you. No commute to a tutoring center; no drive across the Bush or down to Las Colinas. Online via Zoom is also available for families who prefer it or for travel weeks.
1-on-1, Every Session
Never group classes. Every session is built around your student: their starting score, target schools, school workload, and how they actually learn. A Coppell HS sophomore and a New Tech senior don’t need the same plan, and they don’t get one here.
How MJ Prep Is Different
Most ACT and SAT tutoring in Dallas-Fort Worth follows one of two patterns. Here is how MJ Prep compares.
Chain Centers
Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, KD College Prep
- Group classes with a fixed curriculum.
- Center-based: families commute to one location.
- Tiered tutor pricing (cheaper tier usually means a newer tutor).
- High-volume model: students cycle through quickly.
Marketplace Tutors
Wyzant, Varsity Tutors, Tutor.com
- Tutor often changes from session to session, depending on availability.
- Quality varies widely from tutor to tutor.
- No consistent methodology across sessions.
- Hourly billing without an overall study plan.
MJ Prep
Founder-led, with vetted, hand-trained tutors
- One method (Michael’s), taught to every tutor on staff.
- In your home or online, in your student’s natural environment.
- One transparent hourly rate. No tutor tiers, no upsells.
- Custom plan per student, built after a real diagnostic.
We started MJ Prep in 2013 because Coppell and DFW families deserved a third option: the structure and methodology of a national chain combined with the personal care of a single tutor who actually knows your student. The chain model worked well for some students and failed others. Marketplace tutors delivered mixed results. We built MJ Prep to consistently deliver the result families pay for.

Where Coppell Students Go to College
Coppell ISD sends graduates to top universities every year. The schools our Coppell students most often apply to:
- The University of Texas at Austin
- Texas A&M University
- Vanderbilt University
- Rice University
- Duke University
- Stanford University
- The University of Oklahoma
- Baylor University
- Southern Methodist University (SMU)
- Texas Christian University (TCU)
- Ivy League universities
- Other selective private universities
Each school on this list has a different test score profile, and a single “good score” does not apply uniformly. UT-Austin’s automatic admit threshold is one calculation. An Ivy League target involves a different score range and a more complete application strategy. Part of our diagnostic process is mapping your student’s target schools to a realistic score goal. Not every Coppell student needs a 1500 SAT, and not every Coppell student should aim for one.
What Coppell Families Say
DFW families have left dozens of 5-star Google reviews about MJ Prep. Coppell parents from Coppell HS and New Tech regularly mention specific things in their reviews: real score gains without inflated guarantees, consistent tutor matching with no surprise switches, and Michael’s accessibility throughout the process.
We don’t curate or filter testimonials. The Google reviews are public, and the reviews page on this site is an organized, readable version of the same.
Coppell ACT & SAT Prep: Common Questions
How does in-home tutoring in Coppell work?
We come to your home in Coppell. Sessions happen at your kitchen table, living room, or dining room: wherever your student studies best. Each session runs 1 to 2 hours. We bring everything we need, including official practice tests, custom worksheets, and tracking materials. You don’t drive anywhere, and you don’t need to provide any equipment. Your student gets the same focused 1-on-1 instruction they would get at a tutoring center, in the environment where they actually study.
Do you tutor at Coppell High School and New Tech High?
Yes. We work with students from Coppell High School (the only main public high school in CISD) and New Tech High School @ Coppell. We also work with 9th-grade prep families from Coppell Middle School East, North, and West. Each student’s profile is different, and we tailor the plan to where your student actually is.
What’s a realistic ACT or SAT score gain at Coppell High?
It depends entirely on the student: starting score, target schools, time before the test, and consistency between sessions. After the diagnostic, we set evidence-based, student-specific goals. We don’t publish “average” point gains because every student is different. Coppell students often start at higher scores than the national average, and that changes what meaningful improvement looks like.
When should my Coppell student start ACT or SAT prep?
We typically start 2 to 3 months before a student’s first official test date. That gives enough runway to learn the test, build strategy, and run full-length practice sets without burning your student out. Coppell students aiming at top universities like UT, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Rice, Duke, and Stanford typically prep for a first test in the fall of junior year (August through December). That leaves plenty of time for retakes in spring or summer before senior year.
How much does in-home ACT or SAT tutoring cost in Coppell?
Simple: a $100 one-time enrollment fee, then strictly hourly from there. No package minimums. No add-ons, no extra fees, no surprise charges. No bronze/silver/gold tutor tiers, and no good/better/best upsells: every tutor on staff is held to the same standard. We give you the exact hourly rate on the free consultation. You’ll know what each session costs, and you can stop or add sessions any time without penalty.
