SAT Prep Program

A 6-week program designed to help students prepare for the SAT with focus and confidence.

Instructor Amanda Johnson

Many students preparing for the SAT know more than their scores reflect.

The challenge isn’t intelligence or effort but turning knowledge into reliable performance under pressure.

This program exists to change that.

Why This Exists

For many students, especially Black students, SAT performance is shaped less by ability and more by uneven preparation.

Differences in access to rigorous coursework, high-quality supports and test familiarity often mean students know the material but have had fewer chances to practice applying it under timed conditions.

This program focuses on making foundations reliable, so students can show what they know on test day.

What This Is

Spring 2026 SAT Program:

  • 6-week live SAT prep program

  • Small-group instruction (max 5 students)

  • Fully online

  • Focused on math, reading and test strategy

Spring SAT Prep Groups are forming for mid-March and late-April starts, aligned with upcoming national SAT administrations.

Instruction mirrors the digital SAT, so students practice in the format they’ll actually test in.

How It Works

01
6 weeks, 2 sessions per week, 90 minutes per session

02
Live instruction using a digital whiteboard

03
Guided practice, test strategy and confidence building.

Who This Is For

This program is a strong fit for students who are capable but inconsistent, anxious under pressure or unsure how to approach SAT questions even when they know the material.

Students do not need to be at a specific score level. Placement is based on fit.

Learning Formats

Small-Group SAT Prep (Online)

The primary offering and best fit for most students.

Private SAT Prep (1-on-1, Online)
