About Us

Paul Wright Math Gangsta crop.jpg

Founder

With over two decades of teaching experience in various mathematics classrooms, Paul Wright is not only an educator but also a dedicated father, speaker, course designer, and specialist in integrating educational technology and mathematical reengagement. Passionate about instilling the joy of math in others, Paul believes math is more than just a problem on a page. His commitment is evident in developing compelling and efficient digital learning methods designed to captivate students of all ages.

”Frequently, students tend to navigate the mathematical journey based on the guidance of their teachers. However, when the teacher is absent, they may feel lost on that trajectory. It is crucial for educators to impart the skills necessary for students to navigate the path independently, instilling in them the courage to venture off and create their mathematical journey.” —Paul Wright


Since 2010, Ascend Test Prep has paved the way for students to excel in K-12 math classrooms and high-stakes college entrance exams. We have been at the forefront of math preparation, establishing our distinctive approach through video instruction, worksheet development, and math consulting.

Our unmatched preparation for the SAT, HSPT, and K-12 general education math programs positions us as a highly sought-after provider of mathematical reengagement services. Ascend Test Prep has crafted proven strategies that consistently lead to correct responses and enhanced test scores on college and math exams with significant stakes.

Unlike other test prep programs that may offer either a "canned" online program with click-through modules or a scripted, onsite program with a teacher specializing in just one domain, Ascend Test Prep has revolutionized test prep education. We combine multiple learning mediums, providing a comprehensive approach for students and families.

We offer:

  • An onsite program with multiple, dynamic, proven master teachers.

  • Weekly online videos, quizzes, and motivational messages are sent to a smartphone or email account.

  • A recap skills seminar the week before the exam.

Our online videos and resources are exciting to watch and learning-target-specific. Your child can assess their growth and understanding after using our resources. Our content will improve your child’s self-esteem and enhance their math content knowledge. Students working with us will be ready to ascend toward their goals and dreams.
