Every one of our SAT tutors has passed our tutor training programme with distinction, and then passed the SAT at the 99th percentile. Our SAT tutors don’t just know the work, they know how to teach it.
Our programme is guided by a sophisticated diagnostic tool that identifies which of the 37 sub-sections in the SAT we need to focus on in order to achieve their goal.
Our SAT Students frequently improve their score by 200 points.
Study habits, routines, interests and learning style. This entails both an in-depth qualitative and detailed quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career up to that point.
The student will write a full-length SAT at our assessment centre. This exam is then carefully analysed to determine the specific subsections, question types, and errors to focus on.
We review your target syllabus to determine what outcomes you need to have mastered by the ‘move date’ in order to ensure a smooth transition.
Once we understand what your needs are, we create an action plan and send trained SAT Math and SAT English tutors to get you up to speed on:
SAT Math is very different from IEB/ Cambridge Math, and there is content and application that you need to learn. We have your back.
The skills tested in the SAT Reading and SAT Writing sections are distinct from the skillset taught in IEB and Cambridge English. We fill in the gaps.
Getting a great score is about so much more than just knowing the content. We teach you test-taking tools, tricks and techniques designed to maximise your score in SAT.
Genius Alumni: Over the last 30 years, we are proud to have helped students get into universities such as Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and many others.
Family Interview:
Our process starts with a family consultation at our assessment centre in Fourways. We get to know the student – we find out about their study habits, routines, interests and goals. This includes both an in-depth qualitative and detailed quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career up to that point.
Team Selection:
Tutors, if tuition is deemed necessary, from our team are selected based on an optimal match in terms of learning style and personality. We aren’t an agency; we know all of our tutors personally, and as far as we are concerned, choosing the right mentor – someone your child will look up to and connect with – is crucial!
One-On-One Lessons In Your Home:
Lessons happen one-on-one in your home or at your school. The tutors build a working relationship with the student and move through the outcomes effectively and constructively. We set and keep track of work to be done in between lessons.
Teaching note-taking techniques to a student who is not sleeping well, eating well, and doing some kind of regular exercise really is like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Despite this, there is so much hype around teaching students study techniques and learning modalities and very little emphasis on the fundamentals.
The reality is that a student really can drastically improve their focus, alertness, energy, and effectiveness by making a few small tweaks to their sleeping habits.
Prescribing vs Professing
Andrew Huberman is an American neuroscientist and tenured professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Learning podcast. The tools described in this article are a brief introduction to some of the mechanisms that Huberman describes in his podcast, and we highly recommend you take the time to listen to it in its entirety (the first few episodes are on sleep).
