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.

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.

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.

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.

OPT is an amazing tutoring service! As someone who never needed to receive help/tutoring on assignments/exams before, I felt uneasy. However, my tutors were very supportive and made the process comfortable and inviting. During my time there, as a high school student, I received tutoring for the ACT and college essay writing. After every session, I felt more confident in my skills and less stressed about the task at hand. With the help of OPT, I was able to receive my desired score on the ACT and tackle the 10+ college essays with ease. In addition to their stellar service, the staff was very professional and efficient in responding to questions, concerns, and meeting adjustments. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend!! My son's regular tutor was unavailable last minute (5pm) so I had to find someone asap. Through a Google search I found OPT, called them up and they were very polite and professional. Within like 30 minutes they paired my son with a session for the very next day! My son was tutored by Mario for Algebra credit recovery and it was a great experience. Mario (grad student working on his Masters) was very professional and organized. My son loved working with him. I felt their rates were on the pricey-side but definitely worth it.
