Our students work to master the fundamentals needed to succeed on the 2400-point SAT, as well as on the PSAT test. They also learn proven techniques and tricks to help crack the SAT’s system.

SAT Writing. Our students learn to identify and correct grammatical mistakes commonly tested by the SAT. They also work extensively on the structure, content, and style of essay writing. This is the most important part of the course for our students' future success in college... and beyond.

This will change to $899 in Fall 2013; however, anyone who wishes to enroll for the Fall class before July 1, 2013 may do so at the summer price. Host-school students receive a $100 discount. Multiple-enrollment discounts are also available to students from non-host-schools.These discounts are not cumulative.
  • In the event that classes are cancelled due to low enrollment (fewer than five students), a full refund will be issued.
  • Attendance and homework are critical to a student's success. A student cannot miss the first class, or any two classes, in any session. If a student accumuates two absences, for any reason (being tardy or being late counts as half-an-absence) she must start over again in a subsequent session. Similarly, a student may be asked to start over if she maintains a homework average of 60 or less.
  • Please see our "Prepare vs. the Competition" page for additional details on our 100-point guarantee.
  • Students who withdraw after beginning the class will receive a pro-rated refund minus a $100 cancellation fee and any applicable credit card transaction fee. A refund is no longer available after the fifth class.
  • Our optional one-day ACT class costs $100. This is offered only to our SAT students, typically, once in the spring and once in the fall.

The skill set for both the SAT and ACT is roughly equivalent. However, there is some Trig and an additional Science section on the ACT. There are also distinct question types and strategies for each test. Therefore, we will provide single-session ACT-only classes once in the spring and once in the fall. Please check the schedule details for each session.

                               Tuition is $100. Only students who have completed our SAT class are eligible to take this single-session addendum for the ACT.

A word about our new GRE course...

If you’ve priced GRE prep courses, you know that mine is much cheaper than Kaplan’s course ($699 for either Verbal or Math or $1,249 for the whole thing) or Princeton Review’s. So, naturally, you may wonder how I can charge so much less for a competitive course. Simple: I don’t have their overhead. I teach every class myself and pay all of my expenses as I go, so I can set my own prices. Also, after eight years as the pre-eminent SAT teacher in the area, this is my first GRE course so I naturally want to undercut my competitors and take their business. If it turns out that I can charge more next year, fine. But, for now, I am content to methodically build my graduate testing business the same way I built my ACT-SAT business: through superior performance and word-of-mouth.

Still, why should you give me your money instead of throing it away on Kaplan? Because I ’m a better test instructor than any part-timer my competitors can throw at you. I don’t get paid by the hour; I support myself and my family on the basis of my students' results. When they do well, they tell their friends… and thus my business has grown by leaps and bounds. I also have better educational credentials--I hold degrees from Columbia, Yale and the University of Houston--and a better teaching record than anyone my competitors can offer. Since I opened my doors in 2004, I have prepped over 2,000 high school kids for the SAT. My students have gone on to matriculate at nearly every major college in the country (Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Cornell, Brown, MIT, Stanford, etc.) You can check out some of their testimonials on my homepage or, better yet, chat with one of my former students. Just tell me where you go to school and I can put you in touch with someone on your campus who can tell you if I really know what I'm doing.OK, so let's say I'm an awesome SAT teacher. What does that mean for you, the college upperclassman looking to get into grad school? Well, believe it or not, the GRE is basically the SAT test on steroids. The questions are a bit harder, but they cover basically the same ground--and yield to the same strategies. Furthermore, I have been studying the GRE for the past three years. Since I scored a 1500 on the old GRE two years ago (770 on Verbal and 730 on Math) I have been exhaustively researching the test in order to begin teaching it myself. Actually, I wanted to begin in 2011, but when the GRE suddenly made its major format changes, I felt I needed more time to become completely comfortable with them. The upshot is that I am now in command of all the new twists the GRE added last year.However, I must admit that I do not have the technological advantage of my national rivals, who can offer on-line practice tests and adaptive learning models, which are quite useful. Here’s my proposal: if you need hands-on instruction with the GRE, I’m your guy. If you still want the advantages of the big guys' on-line resources (practice tests, tons of questions and targeted feedback) then take the money you’ll save by taking my class and spend it on their lower-cost, computer-only programs. That way, you’ll get the best of both worlds for the same price—with better personal instruction and a better result.
