SAT/ACT CLASSES
My courses are designed to meet a wide variety of students' needs, ranging from beginner-level to elite-scorer. Each class teaches methods, strategies, and core content using a dynamic 21st-Century-Learning approach adapted from principles taught by the Teachers of Mathematics program at Harvard University. These courses are offered exclusively to my private tutoring students.​​​
DURATION
I deliver my standard course in two formats: a Long (typically 5-week) SAT, or ACT, Course, which is 20 full hours of prep covering every aspect of the digital SAT, or ACT, including interactive segments on How Our Brains Work, What Colleges Look At, and The Puzzle of The Day (POTD); and a Short (typically 3-week) SAT, or ACT, Course, which is 12 full hours and also covers every aspect of the digital SAT, or ACT, but in a more densely-structured format. In each case, Perfect Score lives up to its name: I teach methods, strategies and core test content to universally help my lower-scoring and higher-scoring students alike achieve test-taking mastery. No matter where it is you are starting out, anyone can get a 1600, or a 36, with the proper guidance.
LOCATION
​​
These courses are currently offered live-online via zoom. Students must register in advance and will receive an invite 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled meeting's start time. The class is taught using a variety of media, online tools, and multiple projectors. Check the specific course flyer for further details about how the course will be conducted.
MATERIALS
​​
Students will be asked to have out next to them a notebook, pencil, and suitable calculator, as well as have their laptops or Chromebooks fully charged with their microphones and cameras on. Any supplemental Course materials, such as course workbooks, homework pages, etc. will be emailed in PDF, as needed, or made accessible through the website's materials page, which features digital copies of the course lessons, extra review materials, and literally thousands of additional practice questions and exercises for the students to work on independently. Students are also expected to have access to the Collegeboard's digital SAT app, called Bluebook. They will need to have on-hand their usernames and passwords to log in to this app.
