    What we do - for students

    Abacus provides college consulting and specialized tutoring services primarily for
    high school, college, and post-graduate students.

    Consulting services are geared towards helping students identify, evaluate, and
    gain admission to targeted universities, for undergraduate and post-graduate
    studies including law, medicine, business, and the sciences & humanities. Also,  
    AbacusTD advises students with special mitigating issues such as long-term
    absences, disciplinary records, substance abuse recovery, and legal infractions.
    Our consulting clients' needs have ranged from one-time consultations to weekly
    meetings to on-call impromptu meetings whenever needed.

    Steve Ahn conducts all of the private consulting for students. He works with all levels of students to
    achieve their respective goals, often to improve writing-related course performance, to better
    prepare for high school or college, or to gain admission to targeted colleges. Mr. Ahn specializes in
    working with students targeting highly competitive universities but his experience covers a wide
    range of levels. Concurrent with his business career, he has been deeply involved in education and
    writing beyond the last 20 years. He currently assists students in two primary areas:


























    Tutoring services are uniquely conducted to facilitate college admissions. We
    believe academic achievement is not an end goal in itself but a part of a bigger
    picture on a path towards college admissions and career success. Tutoring is
    customized and designed to achieve specific objectives such as targeted course
    grades or test scores for SAT, ACT, or AP exams. AbacusTD also provides
    specialized tutoring services for exceptionally gifted young children and children
    with ADHD, bipolar disorder, or other learning disabilities.
