When are tutors available to meet?

Our tutors are available by appointment 7 days a week, from 9 AM to 9 PM. Sessions can take place in your home, at the OPT office, or online—whichever works best for your schedule. All appointments are coordinated directly with your assigned tutor.

What experience do your tutors have?

Every OPT tutor is certified through our in-house training program before working with students. We take tutor quality seriously—each candidate completes a rigorous vetting process, including interviews, mock sessions, and subject exams. Tutors then undergo a 2-week onboarding program and continue to receive ongoing training and feedback through regular program reviews and monthly professional development workshops.

How do payments work?

All of our programs operate on a Pay-As-You-Go model. This means you only pay for the sessions you need—no upfront commitments, no long-term contracts, and total flexibility to build the program that works best for you. We accept cash, check, credit card, Venmo, or Zelle.

How does communication with OPT work?

We believe clear and consistent communication is key to your success. After every session, you'll receive a detailed Session Report outlining progress and next steps. In our Test Prep programs, you will also receive Post Exam Analyses and Official Exam Analyses after Practice Exams and Official Exams, respectively. You'll also have direct access to your tutor and your Program Advisor at all times throughout your program.

Fabiano Praca

President & CEO

As the founder of On Point Tutoring, I started OPT with a straightforward belief: if you truly understand something, it should feel simple. I noticed students often got overwhelmed by overcomplicated explanations and wanted to change that. At OPT, we break down even the most complex academic and test prep concepts into clear, manageable steps. That mindset drives everything we do—from our SAT/ACT strategies to our subject-based tutoring. What makes OPT special to me isn’t just the methods—it’s the people. I’m proud of the team we’ve built: thoughtful, passionate, and deeply committed to our students and families.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me at a park with my daughter, wife, and dog or watching the Miami Heat.

Richard Vazquez

Vice President & COO

As COO, I focus on making sure our systems and services are always working efficiently—for our students, families, and team. At OPT, we’re not just running a business; we’re building a community of learners and educators who care deeply about doing things right. What I love most is the way we stay agile—constantly improving, refining, and finding new ways to support student success. Everyone here genuinely wants to help, and that shows in the energy we bring to every conversation.
Fun fact, I’ve been playing guitar for over ten years and love diving into new songs and techniques—it’s a creative outlet that keeps me inspired and always learning.

In my role, I oversee daily operations and help shape the programs that drive student success. My goal is to make sure our team has everything they need to focus on what matters: helping students thrive. What I love most about OPT is the culture—we’re truly a team that supports each other and celebrates every student win, big or small.

Outside of work, you can find me hiking Colorado trails—Chautauqua Trailhead is my happy place and where I go to reset.

Adrianna Hernandez

Office Administrator
Internal Relations Director

Hi! I’m Adrianna, and I keep the wheels turning behind the scenes at OPT. I coordinate communication, plan events, and manage billing—basically, I make sure everything runs smoothly so our team can stay focused on students. What I love most about OPT is how we’re always evolving. There’s a real commitment to innovation here, and we never settle for “good enough” when it comes to helping students succeed.
In my free time, I love thrifting and making junk journals. There’s something really satisfying about giving new life to forgotten things—it’s my own little form of creativity.

Adrian Gonzalez

Program Advisor

As Program Advisor, I’m here to make your OPT experience seamless from the start. Whether you’re signing up for your first session or figuring out the best support for your student, I’m your go-to guy. What I appreciate most about OPT is its refusal to stay static, we’re always pushing to improve and meet families where they are. That constant forward momentum is what makes this place special.
Outside of OPT, you can find me contributing to hearing loss at your local bar playing drums or at your local car show revving my engine.

Account Representatives

It's our job and our pleasure to introduce new families to OPT's programs and help take care of their needs once they've started. We provide information on all things OPT, check in to make sure programs are running smoothly, and connect clients to the Program Advisor if concerns arise. Our goal is not just to be mediators between OPT and it's families, but to be their advocates.

In my free time, if I’m not dancing, there’s a good chance I’m either traveling or somewhere by the beach!

Jamie Perez

Outside of work, you'll find me outdoors enjoying a nice sunset, kayaking, or other lizard activities - probably with a camera in my hand.

Sofia Passante

Fun fact, singing has been a passion of mine since I was young. I am always listening to music and learning new songs.

Front Desk Team

We are the first friendly faces to greet you when you walk in to OPT's office. Our job is to help students check-in for their sessions and make all our visitors feel welcomed from the moment they arrive until they leave. When not assisting students and parents, we help take care of the office to ensure every study room is ready for the next session.

Nicole Pereira

If I'm not at OPT, I'm usually reading novels, scrapbooking my favorite memories, or watching some musical classics!

Maria Martin

In my free time, you’ll usually find me spending time with my dog, watching movies with my parents, and enjoying some relaxing time alone.

Monthly Tutor Spotlight

I wanted to focus on studying Alzheimer diagnostic tools in particular since there are a lot of steps to diagnose patients who are generally much older and vulnerable. I would often hear them and their caregivers complain about how difficult it was to complete everything necessary. Currently I am working on getting certificates and experience in coding software like Python, R, and, MatLab because I ultimately want to design more efficient and objective methods and/or tools to diagnose Alzheimer's as there are several steps in the diagnosis process which can often be inconsistent or even subjective.
