Tyler Friske, MD
Founder and Director of Friske Test Prep
With over a decade of experience teaching students the ins and outs of standardized test taking, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of a focused study process paired with consistent effort. As a graduate of Carroll Senior High School, Southern Methodist University, Baylor College of Medicine, and a competitive residency program, I have personally experience countless high stakes exams. Throughout my academic journey, I developed a lasting passion for teaching and a fascination with the strategy and game theory behind exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Let me help you or your student master these challenging and incredibly important exams!

Very Good Girl
Learning a new skill is not easy, but it can be so rewarding! Take chasing squirrels as an example. Now that is a challenge! I have learned through trial and error and lots of practice that success only comes when you are determined to improve your skills. Learning a new skill takes patience and determination. Barking up the wrong tree is never a good idea! Stay strong, stay focused, and don’t let the pressure get to you! My dad can help you master test taking. Before you know it, you will have out-chased all of the squirrels in the neighborhood! Come learn how to be your best with us! Woof!!
