SAT CLASS
Many SAT classes are taught by recent college graduates who often have a shaky handle on the material they are teaching, leaving students feeling as if they’ve been shuttled through a standardized test prep mill. I offer a boutique-style SAT class for half their price, right here in the heart of Park Slope. Instead of a classroom with fifteen students, my class has a maximum of five students.
I am a former college English professor with over ten years experience teaching standardized test prep. I wrote my own textbook for the course entitled Secrets from the Vault of an SAT Geek. Researching and reviewing SAT materials is my passion and helping kids through this enormously difficult challenge is my privilege.
The class is $700, half the price of the major test companies (over $1600). We meet Mondays and Thursdays from September 9 - October 6, and practice tests are given on several Saturdays during the course.

PRIVATE TUTORING
The four-hour long SAT is often as important to college admissions as a student's four-year long high-school record. The magnitude of this test can eventually help a student enormously, compensating for weak grades or augmenting an already strong GPA. The key to transforming this test into an asset is systematic and diligent preparation.
Test-takers who can do basic math and memorize vocabulary words can improve their scores dramatically if they have learned the intricacies of the testing game; however, it's important for them to have help from someone actively designing a program to fit their individual needs.
When I work with students, I help them understand their own strengths so they can rely on their natural abilities on test day. I also focus on targeting and correcting specific weaknesses that are costing the most points on the test. Sometimes eliminating one weakness can allow a student to answer many more questions correctly.
I use mock testing using real SAT's, a structured progression through the most common ideas tested, and a systematic lesson plan tailored to each individual. I offer small classes and one-on-one tutoring.
