SAT English

Whether you’ve never taken the SAT before or are looking to increase your score, our approach focuses on strategies and lots of practice. We use practice test data to inform our targeted approach and drill down on the most important areas for growth. Unlike the large test prep companies, we can create a tailored plan specific to your needs. Whether you need 3 sessions to give you a broad overview before test day, or a targeted 12 week course, we will work with you to identify what will help you to meet your goals.

Whether you need support with the vast amount of content or or AP-specific skills, we can support you with an individualized plan to get you where you want to be. Sessions include study strategies, time management help, writing skill development tailored to the AP writing rubrics, and test prep. We can support you at any point in the year, for as many sessions as you need or want. For small group support, we offer a boot camp each spring to prepare for the exam in May.

Testimonials

  • Carrie C., SAT prep parent

    Maggie was the perfect fit for my daughter, who struggles with test anxiety and tests with extended time. She’s approachable, patient, and made my daughter feel comfortable from day one.

    What impressed me the most was how Maggie analyzed each practice test. She provided a detailed, color-coded breakdown of trends and adjusted the targeted practice accordingly, which really helped focus on areas that needed improvement. In just 8 weeks, my daughter’s SAT score jumped from a 500 on the PSAT to a 660 on her last practice test. Maggie not only helped improve her test scores but also gave her the confidence to handle her anxiety. We’re so grateful for Maggie’s support and highly recommend her!

  • Sarah A., APUSH student

    I can’t thank Maggie enough for all the help she gave me with AP US History. There’s so much to learn and the pressure of the exams was really stressing me out. Maggie took the time to listen to what I was struggling with and all the methods I had already tried that weren’t working. Then, she helped me make a study plan that actually made sense and kept me on track with everything.

    She showed me how to break the material down into smaller parts and helped me figure out how to connect everything to remember it better.

  • Laura L., Honors English parent

    Jacklyn is an expert at teaching Shakespeare but has a unique ability to break it down in a way that’s easy to understand—something we just weren’t getting from our school. She helped my son grasp the characters, themes, and deeper meanings behind the plays, making it much less overwhelming.

    Once my son had a better understanding of the material, Jacklyn helped tackle the essays he had to write. She worked with him to organize and structure his ideas clearly, improving his writing and making the essay process less stressful. Thanks to her guidance, my son went from feeling lost to confident in his understanding of Shakespeare.
