Spring SAT prep
March → June timeline. Build the foundation, take official practice tests, score your first real SAT before college essays start eating senior fall.
A diagnostic first prep program built around the College Board's 2024 Digital SAT redesign, for juniors and seniors at American system schools in Morocco who want a 100 to 200 point lift on math.
Two hour weekly sessions, every problem type, every wrong answer worked into a pattern the student can use on test day.
Most students start prep 3 to 4 months before their target test date. The 11th grade window targets the spring SAT plus a senior fall retake. The 12th grade window targets fall test dates with college applications on the line. Either way: weekly sessions beat last minute cramming, every time.
March → June timeline. Build the foundation, take official practice tests, score your first real SAT before college essays start eating senior fall.
August → November timeline. Diagnose what cost you points the first time, fix it specifically, retake before the December application deadline.
A real SAT math section, timed under test conditions. Not a generic placement test, the actual 2024 Digital SAT format, full 70 minutes.
Every wrong answer mapped to its question type and root cause: content gap, careless error, timing pressure, misread, or strategy failure. The plan flows from the analysis.
A sequenced topic plan covering only what costs you points, not the whole SAT Math as textbook curriculum. Built to your timeline and your real test date.
Two hour sessions, mixing topic teaching, timed problem sets, and full mini section practice. Diagnostic test deltas every two weeks to confirm the plan is working.
Linear equations and inequalities, systems, linear functions in context. The largest domain, and the highest leverage for early gains.
Quadratics, polynomials, exponentials, rational expressions, function notation. The domain that separates a 600 from a 750.
Ratios, percentages, units, two variable data. Word problem heavy, the domain where careful reading matters more than mathematical depth.
Triangles, circles, angles, area & volume, coordinate geometry, basic trig. Smallest domain, but reliable points if the formulas are locked in.
Anonymized to protect students' privacy. Real scores, real timelines, real students.
Diagnostic: 580 math. Strong on Algebra, fragile on Advanced Math, time pressure on the back half of the section.
12 weekly sessions over 3 months. Quadratics and rational expressions as the primary content focus, with timed mini sections every fourth week.
740 math on the May SAT. +160 points in 12 sessions.
October retake. Previous score: 620 math. Specific weakness on data analysis and the careful reading word problems.
8 sessions, twice weekly for the final month. Pure problem solving practice on official College Board sets, with a focus on translating English to equations cleanly.
720 on the December SAT. +100 points, in time for the regular decision deadline.
Diagnostic: 650 math. The student wanted to break 750 to be competitive for top US engineering programs.
16 sessions over 4 months. Heavy focus on Advanced Math edge cases, function transformations, exponential growth/decay, system of equations word problems.
780 math on the SAT. Accepted to a top 20 engineering program.
Always two hour sessions. Single session pricing, no packages, no upfront commitment. Most students do 8 to 16 sessions before their target test date.

Three to four months before the target test date is the sweet spot. Less than 8 weeks of prep limits how much we can move the score; longer than 5 months and the early work fades before test day.
The SAT is fully digital as of 2024, including in Morocco. Every prep session uses the digital format, with the actual on screen tools (built in calculator, mark for review, formula reference).
No. I tutor SAT math only. For Reading & Writing, I refer to specialist English tutors and offer an introduction to one if needed.
It's the median outcome for students who put in the weekly work, do the assigned problem sets, and start at least 12 weeks out. Bigger jumps happen when the starting score is in the 500s; smaller jumps happen above 700, where every additional point is harder.
SAT prep specifically needs 2 hours, long enough to teach a domain, work problems, and end with a timed mini section. For shorter sessions, regular 1.5 hour American curriculum tutoring is the better fit.
Yes, every fourth session ends with a timed mini section. Full length proctored mock exams happen at the 6 week and 2 week marks before the real test, scheduled separately.
I focus on SAT & PSAT. The ACT has a different math section weighting and includes science, different prep, different tutor.
