About

Want to boost your SAT Reading and Writing score fast and build real test-day confidence? This twice-a-week summer accelerator is designed for you. Led by a 1500+ scorer, each session dives into the exact question types and skills tested by the College Board — with built-in practice test sessions to reinforce your progress.
﻿
We’ll cover all key SAT English content areas: Information and Ideas, Expression of Ideas, Standard English Conventions, and Craft and Structure. Each topic is broken into focused lessons across two days a week, so you build momentum and retention without feeling overwhelmed. You’ll learn how to tackle challenging questions about grammar, punctuation, rhetorical synthesis, vocabulary in context, and evidence-based reading — practicing with real SAT-style problems.
﻿
Do you abhor the English section? Feel like words like benevolent and ubiquitous belong in another language? Or like Shakespeare is speaking a whole different language? Or frustrated when you have to choose the “best” evidence, but all the options seem right? You’re not alone.
﻿
Whether you’re just starting out or aiming for top percentile, this course meets you where you are — helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.
