SAT

library Each year, the SAT is taken by thousands of high school students hoping to place into the most elite schools in America. Used by schools as an equalizing metric for the inconsistent standards in the U.S. public education system, the SAT score is increasingly being viewed by admissions officers as a more trustworthy measure of a student’s scholastic worth than GPA. With the majority of our students seeking admission to top schools, we miss not even the tiniest of details in our SAT service, and our record of success speaks loudly. We dig in deeply to the conceptual aspects of the mathematics sections, providing students with problem-specific techniques that are simultaneously time-saving and effective. Along the way, we spot weaknesses in your student’s understanding and repair them methodically and intelligently. We teach tone, literary devices, and university-level integrative critical reading strategies for the reading portion, empowering your student to read and comprehend scholastic texts with fluency and efficiency. And we teach the dozens of required grammatical, stylistic, and orthographic conventions that are necessary for the language portion of the test.

Our service includes:

Superior strategies for problem-type recognition and approach-specific techniques for problem-types
Comprehensive close reading theory, including time management and text-comprehension techniques, tone and idiom recognition, and premise-based understanding
All required grammatical and stylistic conventions presented in a coherent and understandable manner
Comprehensive essay writing consultation including in-depth coverage of literary devices, tone and mood analysis, ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, antithesis, and signal identification
