Spencer
A 1580 SAT gives Spencer credibility, but what actually sets him apart is how he reverse-engineers each section — breaking down Reading passages by question type, drilling the grammar patterns that repeat on Writing, and teaching the specific algebra and data-analysis concepts the College Board lean...
