Alice
What separates a 1400 from a 1550 on the SAT often comes down to recognizing the exam's repeatable patterns — the algebra setups that recycle across tests, the evidence-pair traps in Reading, the handful of grammar rules that account for most Writing questions. Alice earned a 1550 herself and has sp...

Alex
Most SAT prep treats the Reading and Math sections as completely separate animals, but Alex's PhD work in English trained the same close-analysis skills that unlock both evidence-based passage questions and the careful reasoning behind tricky word problems.

Elizabeth
Majoring in both English and Spanish at George Fox University gave Elizabeth the kind of close-reading stamina that pays off across the SAT's verbal sections — she teaches students to trace argument structure in dense passages and spot the grammar rules the Writing and Language section recycles most...

Bachelor in Arts, English / Spanish
Certified Tutor
Scoring well on the SAT means treating the Reading & Writing and Math sections as two different skill sets that share one trait: pattern recognition.
