Live 1:1 & pairs SAT preparation

SAT Prep Online: Live Small Classes

A personal plan for the Digital SAT

The SAT tests a clear, limited set of skills, which means it can be prepared for properly. Our live SAT classes, 1:1 or in pairs, start from your child's current level, teach the Math and the Reading and Writing skills the test asks for, and build speed and accuracy through regular timed practice.

How our SAT preparation works

  1. 1

    Start with a diagnostic

    The first classes find out exactly which SAT topics are secure and which are not, so no time is spent on what your child already knows.

  2. 2

    Teach the concept, then the exam

    Each weak topic is taught properly first. Only then do we move to exam-style questions, so marks come from understanding and not from memorised steps.

  3. 3

    Practise with real question styles

    Students work through past-paper style questions, learn how marks are awarded, and practise writing answers the way examiners expect.

  4. 4

    Timed practice and review

    Closer to the exam, classes include timed sections. Every mistake is reviewed and sorted: a gap in knowledge, a misread question, or a timing problem.

  5. 5

    Parents stay informed

    After each class you can see what was covered and what comes next, so you always know how preparation is going.
