PROVEN RESULTS WITH OUR UNIQUE CURRICULUM

Here is how we help you prep for that BIG score:

1. A mini-diagnostic exam

Begin with our short SAT vs ACT diagnostic test to determine whether the SAT or the ACT is right for you.

2. Tailoring a test-prep program around your needs

Start prep early. Consider the summer between sophomore and junior year. This is a great time to start, without all the pressures of homework, exams, etc. Or start in the fall for early spring exams. However, most students start in the winter and prepare to take exams in the spring of their junior year, in plenty of time for college applications.

3. TEACH you the specific strategies needed to succeed

Consider whether you learn better working one-on-one with an instructor or in a small, online group setting. We offer both options and can tailor a program around your needs. Please reach out to us so we can help you decide.

4. Assess, track your progress, and make any necessary adjustments

We recommend a minimum of 12 weeks to prepare. Of course, we understand life gets in the way, so if you don’t have 12 weeks, we can certainly prepare a targeted prep course just for you.

5. Simulated test environments, proctored exams, and use of REAL SAT tests. We build a students confidence, focus, and endurance.

Show this test who’s the boss! We want you to score big the 1st time you take the SAT, however, this is a challenging test that may require multiple attempts to reach your target score.

Monark T. Teacher and Test Prep Instructor
Katelyn is committed to providing a first-class teaching experience tailored to each student's unique learning style. Recognizing that a one-size-fits-all approach falls short, I focus on establishing a connection with my students to develop personalized learning plans. This method not only boosts their confidence and self-esteem but also enhances their mastery over various subjects by moving beyond rote memorization to a deeper understanding of material. Currently pursuing a B.A. in Environmental Studies and Political Science with a Sociology Minor at Northeastern University, I bring over six years of tutoring experience across all grade levels. Specializing in English and essay writing, I also cover a range of science subjects. Beyond academia, I indulge in writing for newsletters, exploring new coffee shops, and baking an arguably excessive amount of banana bread, challenging the notion that one can ever have too much of it.
