Tom Ehlers is the Founder of Method Learning and a nationally recognized expert in standardized test preparation, college admissions strategy, and educational consulting. A graduate of Princeton University, he also completed Princeton’s Teacher Preparation Program, laying the foundation for a career dedicated to helping students realize their academic potential.

Since 1999, Tom has guided students and families through the increasingly complex landscape of testing and college admissions. In addition to his direct work with students, he has advised school districts nationwide, helping educators and administrators improve outcomes and expand access to higher education.

He founded Method Test Prep on the belief that every student can succeed with the right strategy, guidance, and support. That vision has since grown into Method Learning, a national organization serving families through test preparation, college advising, and financial planning for college.

A long-standing member of the National Test Prep Association, Tom remains actively engaged in national conferences and industry dialogue to ensure Method Learning stays at the forefront of evolving trends and best practices.

Tom lives with his wife, Ally, and their twins, Jonathan and Julia. His personal motto reflects the mindset he brings to his work each day: “Keep your face to the sunshine and you will never see the shadows.”
