SAT preparation
A score target agreed before we start, and a plan built backwards from your test date.
The SAT is a coachable examination. It tests a relatively narrow band of content in a highly predictable format, which means familiarity is worth a great deal — and unfamiliarity is expensive. We work from a full-length diagnostic, identify where the marks are actually going, and target those sections rather than revising evenly across everything.
What we cover
- Reading & Writing
- Evidence-based reading, rhetorical analysis, and the grammar and usage rules the paper tests repeatedly.
- Mathematics
- Algebra, advanced maths, problem-solving and data analysis, with and without the calculator.
- Timed practice
- Full-length mock sittings under real conditions, because pacing is where most points are lost.
- Test strategy
- Question triage, educated elimination, and managing the clock section by section.
How we teach it
First a full diagnostic to establish the baseline and the realistic target. Then a schedule built backwards from your test date, with periodic timed mocks so the score is tracked rather than assumed. One-to-one on Google Meet, with monthly written progress reports.
Before you book — Bring your test date to the assessment call. How much time remains changes the plan substantially — an eleven-week run looks nothing like a nine-month one.
