How do you choose which SAT class to go with?

Many SAT courses look pretty similar.

Every company touts the “best” strategies, the “highest” average score increases, have satisfaction guarantees, etc…

We’ve been working with students since 2005.

In our experience, the major differentiator is… the QUALITY OF THE INSTRUCTOR.

Everything else is secondary.

So the most important question you should be asking is “Who will be teaching my child?”

Introducing… PrepMaven’s SAT MasterClass

Work directly with Kevin Wong, one of our co-founders.

 

Are there other instructors as qualified? Yes, but not many.

Kevin started tutoring extensively while an undergraduate at Princeton University.

His students thrived.

Through word-of-mouth, 1 student became 2, which became 4 and then 8 and so on.

Fast-forward 15 years, and we now have an amazing team of 150+ tutors.

Kevin continues to work with a limited # of students both privately and through our SAT MasterClass.

Over the years, he has accumulated thousands of hours of test prep experience and has scrutinized every component of the tests.

It is this experience that informs all aspects of our SAT class, which we are continuously improving.

We’ll cover everything your student needs to maximize his/her score potential.

Our approach combines:

• • Intimate knowledge of the test
  • Deep understanding of common student issues
  • Real-time customization of instruction based on the specific needs of each class
     

Here’s a sampling of the questions students will be able to answer:

• • What are the 150+ math skills tested? Which ones are tested most often?
  • What are the different ways to approach the reading passages?
  • What is the shortcut to answering Literal Comprehension with Evidence questions?
  • What are the most important grammar concepts to focus on?
  • What are the most effective ways to improve timing?
  • How should you approach the test if you’re not a natural test-taker?
     

And here’s how our courses are structured:

1. 1. We start off with a live/online proctored diagnostic test
   2. Detailed score reports identify a baseline score and targeted areas of improvement
   3. Students will be provided with our proprietary materials & strategy guides, access to our online class management system, and a customized HW tracker
   4. Instruction consists of lectures, working on sample problems together, and both independent and small group work
   5. Homework is assigned after every class.
   6. Two additional full-length practice tests are assigned throughout the course to gauge progress

At the end our 21 hr course, your student will gain 3 major things:

1.  Understanding of the most important skills that are tested

2.  The ability to answer questions faster & with fewer errors with our proven strategies

3.  Increased confidence & repeatable results using our methodical approach
