Brains Need Blueprints

College admissions is intense, but it doesn’t have to be miserable. Led by Harvard grad Tatum Hutton, we help high-achieving students, including those who are neurodivergent or twice-exceptional, receive expert guidance to craft standout applications, all while staying grounded, getting some sleep, and even enjoying the process. Across 15 years, my students have earned over $10 million in scholarships and been admitted to schools where the odds usually say “good luck.” We don’t do luck here.

I’m Tatum Hutton,

I’m Tatum Hutton,

a Harvard graduate and perfect SAT math scorer (800 Math, 780 Verbal). I founded Custom Academics to give students every advantage—tutoring, test prep, advising, internships, and research opportunities, including projects where they’ve been published while still in high school. By the time they apply, no one knows their college story better or how to present them more effectively—and that shows in their admission results.
