Every student is capable of true proficiency.

We are excited to introduce Brittany Mack, our Director of Academic Strategy and Partnerships. In this role she propels instructional design for both school-based and private tutoring programs. Brittany brings 10 years of experience at KIPP Indy, where she progressed from classroom teacher to region-level instructional leader.

Rooted in her experience as a teacher and instructional leader, Brittany’s work in academic strategy is guided by a commitment to educational equity, rigor, and measurable student impact. At KIPP Indy Public Schools, she set the vision and led instructional design grounded in data analysis, intentional progress monitoring, and teacher development through real-time coaching.

At Proficiency Builders, Brittany brings a systems-level approach to closing proficiency gaps, with expertise in foundational K–8 literacy. She is passionate about developing tiered instructional models that are research-aligned, culturally responsive, and tailored to accelerate student growth.

Her leadership is shaped by a belief that every student deserves targeted, thoughtfully designed instruction—and that strong strategy must begin with listening to data, students and families, teachers, and the community. By aligning instructional goals with clear metrics, coaching systems, and cross-sector partnerships, she works to build educational experiences that are equitable, coherent, and deeply impactful.

Dave Snider is the founder of Proficiency Builders, and since 2017 he has been serving families and students across the Midwest. His work is focused on helping students prepare for meaningful opportunities and fulfilling careers by achieving true academic proficiency.

Like the rest of the Proficiency Builders team, Dave believes that nearly all students are capable of true proficiency when given the right support. He has seen firsthand how personalized tutoring can accelerate a student’s progress, build confidence, and create long-term academic success.

Proficiency Builders began as College Tutors of Indiana, but Dave later chose a name that better reflected the true purpose of the organization. With that change came the introduction of PrepLogX, a structured study-skills development model designed to help students build lasting organization, time management, and learning habits while tutoring — skills that continue to benefit students in future classes and career paths.

Dave resides in Indianapolis and enjoys spending time with his wife, their family of seven children, two grandchildren, and Ozzie, the family’s beloved 85-pound Australian Shepherd.
