How Do We Help You?

During the summer we run half-day courses that meet daily in two-week sessions, either in-person or online. We also run one-week Math and Verbal summer boot camps from August 17-21.

During the school year we run evening courses at McLean High School, Chantilly High School, Madison High School, and West Springfield High School.

Using our proprietary SAT Strategy Guide, we’ll help you identify your specific review goals and design an individual study plan.

Your study plan will integrate our live content review, our interactive prob- lem discussions, The Official SAT Study Guide, SAT practice problems, SAT practice tests, and key online resources.

As you execute your study plan, your score will improve. If there are topics you would like to review again, we’ll let you retake the course for free.

On test day, you’ll be ready for the SAT and earn your best score.

Will this be true if instead you watch a screen or teach yourself from a book?

English is not my favorite, but the way that my instructor taught it allowed me to understand how to solve new types of problems. And even though I love math, I was able to learn harder concepts that I had forgotten about, so it was a good refresher.”
