An individualized approach shaped by each student’s strengths, needs, and goals.
Diagnostic assessment
The student completes an official SAT practice test in College Board’s Bluebook app to establish a baseline and identify strengths and skill gaps.
Custom syllabus
Working closely with the student and family, I develop custom a study program based on the student’s academic history, learning profile, score goals, and testing timeline.
Personalized skill instruction
Initial lessons establish a strong foundation by strengthening core skills.
Subsequent lessons incorporate custom practice sets informed by ongoing analysis of the student’s strengths and skill gaps.
Regular practice tests and analysis
In reviewing missed questions, the student examines the reasoning behind each solution so that they can apply what they learn to similar questions.
I track performance across the SAT’s eight concept domains and adjust instructional priorities accordingly.
Performance strategy coaching
I observe the student as they complete practice tests in Bluebook, providing real-time coaching on question strategy, pacing, stamina, focus, calculator use, and test-interface navigation.
Weekly progress updates
The student and parents receive weekly updates that include assignments, lesson materials, and practice test analyses.
