Rob Pollak leads Pollak Tutors, a team known for their high-impact tutoring to bring desired student outcomes. For years, they relied on excellent practice materials—PDFs stored across drives and folders—but knew they could deliver even more with the right technology. That’s when Rob discovered MentoMind: a platform flexible enough to adapt to his proven methods, instead of forcing him to change them.
From Static PDFs to Smart Digital Learning
Rob and his team turned their tried-and-true practice materials into a powerful digital system.
- All worksheets and PDFs became an interactive question bank with quizzes and tests available anytime.
- Every problem now includes detailed solutions, so students learn as they practice.
- A custom tagging system tracks performance by concept, problem type, and skill area—unlocking precision tutoring at scale.
- On-screen annotation feature helps tutors show students how to solve specific questions and save the notes for future reference.
- Automatic homework reminder emails and nudges help students adhere to their personalized plan.
Why It Works
Instead of generic assignments, Pollak Tutors now deliver hyper-targeted practice for each student. Assessments are automated, freeing up hours of grading while surfacing insights that were never visible before. When students arrive for sessions, Rob’s team already knows what they mastered and where they need help. Every session is focused, efficient, and impactful.
The key takeaway
Great tutoring can be amplified using technology. Pollak Tutors’ success proves that with MentoMind, the best tutoring methods don’t get replaced by technology—they get amplified, making MentoMind the go-to platform for SAT tutors who want to scale impact without losing their teaching identity.
