Meet Justin
Horizon Admissions Consulting is just me — Justin Thomas. Unlike large firms where you work with junior staff, I personally handle every part of your admissions process.
I bring exceptional credentials: an MS in Engineering from Texas A&M and an MS in Computer Science from UT Dallas. Plus: perfect SAT Math, top 3% SAT Reading/Writing, and perfect GRE Math/Verbal/Essay. I've tutored SAT/ACT since 2017 and specialized in admissions consulting since 2023.
But enough from me — scroll down to see client results and testimonials.
Results and Testimonials
Sophie is attending Brown after improving her SAT score from 1400 to 1500 (97th to 99th percentile).
“Justin has been an amazing tutor in all SAT subjects. He is an excellent teacher, clearly knows the necessary techniques and my daughter's score has gone up significantly since she started working with him. He also helped to increase her confidence, which I think is key. I highly recommend him.”

Grace progressed from 26/36 to 33/36 on the ACT (86th to 98th percentile). This has opened countless doors for her.
“Justin is an excellent teacher. He catered every lesson to me… We set a goal of 33 at the beginning of the tutoring sessions and grew my skills until I hit that goal. Justin is amazing and I would recommend his teaching to any student.”
– Grace, Student
Chloe is getting a PhD at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nation’s oldest public university. Her GRE Analytical Writing Essay score improved from 3.5/6 to 5/6 (41st to 92nd percentile).
“Having Justin as my tutor was one of the best decisions I made during test prep. I got the score I wanted, he ensured that each lesson was tailored to my needs, I could really feel that he genuinely cared for my success, and his expertise and flexibility in teaching always left me feeling happy with my progress. I strongly recommend working with Justin!”
