The approach

Every student learns differently. We start with a diagnostic to identify strengths, gaps, and goals, then a hand-matched tutor guides targeted, live sessions and keeps your student accountable between them, so every hour of prep is spent exactly where it moves the score.

Diagnose first

We assess strengths and growth areas before building a plan.

Targeted instruction

Live virtual sessions blend content, problem-solving practice, and proven test-day strategy.

Accountability between sessions

Your tutor assigns and reviews your focused practice to shape the next lesson.

The best tutors

We accept only 2% of applicants through application reviews, assessments, and interviews.

SAT / ACT

Our educator-designed prep is built around an adaptive Practice Portal that mirrors the Digital SAT and timed ACT. Students take a diagnostic, then move through one content domain at a time at a pace that fits their progress, with full-length practice tests at strategic checkpoints.

Track 1

Foundations & Test Selection

For students starting test prep from scratch.

  • Identify whether the SAT or ACT is the best fit
  • Learn the structure and expectations of the exam
  • A clear study plan to the target test date
Track 2

Score Boosting & Skill Refinement

For students with prior prep who are ready to push the score higher.

  • Test-day confidence through improved pacing
  • Stronger accuracy and targeted support
  • Comprehensive review that deepens mastery
The package

10 or 20 Sessions

Private 1:1 tutoring plus diagnostic testing and full-length practice exams.

  • Diagnostic assessment + personalized plan
  • Full-length tests after sessions 4 & 8 (14 & 18 for the 20-session package)
  • Progress reports shared with families at each checkpoint
Every lesson builds test-day skills too, spotting patterns, making smart strategic guesses, using tools efficiently, managing time, and staying calm under pressure.

SAT Prep for Diverse Thinkers

Some students are strong in class and sharp in conversation, but the SAT score just doesn't show it. Usually the barrier isn't ability, it's that standard prep is built for one kind of brain. This is specialized, one-on-one SAT prep for students who process the test differently, built for the digital SAT.

ADHD, anxiety & executive function

For students whose timing, focus, or test anxiety drags the score below what they know.

Learning & processing differences

Dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, or visual-processing differences like Irlen Syndrome.

Accommodations, handled

Extended time, a 504 or IEP, or pending accommodations, worked into the plan from day one. No diagnosis required to start.

Prep that didn't stick

Strong GPA but a stuck score, or a course or tutor that already came and went without moving the score.

Why it's different

It starts with how your student's brain works, not a generic script

The SAT isn't only testing what a student knows, it tests how fast they can retrieve, prioritize, and apply it under pressure. Standard programs teach the same content and strategy to everyone. This one begins with a diagnostic done a different way, reasoning through every answer to reveal exactly where points are lost, then builds a personalized plan around it: targeted practice instead of endless full tests, two sessions a week for rhythm, a midpoint progress check, and dedicated pacing and anxiety work for test day.

Accelerated Track

The SAT applied to what they know

For students with prior prep, a score mismatch, timing or anxiety issues, or accommodations already in place.

  • SAT course + 8 one-on-one sessions
  • Best started 6–8 weeks before the test
  • Optional add-on sessions if progress warrants
Comprehensive Track

Content and strategy from the ground up

For students with little or no prior prep who need full support.

  • SAT course + 16 one-on-one sessions
  • Best started 12–16 weeks before the test
  • Optional add-on sessions if progress warrants
Who leads it

Taught by a specialist who has lived it

The program is led by a Harvard-educated instructor with 20+ years of test-prep experience who personally understands ADHD, dyslexia, and visual-processing differences, and who raised her own SAT score by nearly 500 points after standard prep failed her. Students have seen 150–280+ point gains when the barrier was fit, not ability. Results vary by baseline, timeline, accommodations, and practice.

How it works

Welcome email & onboarding forms

After signing up, families receive a welcome email and short onboarding forms (best completed within 48 hours) that help match your student with the right tutor.

Onboarding call

Your Tutoring Coordinator, your point of contact throughout, walks you through the tutor match and a personalized schedule built around your preferred times.

Diagnostic

Students take a short diagnostic in the Practice Portal so the plan targets the exact domains and skills that will move the score.

Introductory session

Students meet their tutor, get an overview of the plan, and begin with the areas the diagnostic flagged.

Consistent sessions

Students meet one to three times per week, with focused practice between sessions and full-length tests at strategic checkpoints.

Test day

Students walk in knowing the test, the timing, and their own plan for both.
