Fear Is Holding You Back
Or maybe it’s just anxiety. That can hold you back, too.
And you know if you don’t get it handled, it’ll turn into fear.
That’s what’s keeping you from getting the best SAT score you possibly can.
You know the feeling. It makes you procrastinate. You know you have to study more, but the TV and the internet are so darn seductive.
So you second guess yourself.
You get frustrated and discouraged.
And the worst part about it is you know you could do better. You know that you know the material. But for some reason when you do the practice tests, when you time yourself, it just doesn’t work out the way you want it to.
That’s because when it comes to high pressure, high stakes tests like the SAT and ACT, it’s not always what you know or how talented you are that makes the difference.
You have to be able to get yourself to do what you know.
That means over and over again when you practice. And it means doing your best when you step into that examination room and take the test for real.
That’s why you need to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally, not just academically. It’s how you get the highest SAT or ACT score you can possibly get.
It’s how you get into the college of your choice, and open the door to your future career. It’s how you get scholarship money.
And it’s how you keep yourself out of a college that’s not right for you in a city you don’t want to live in.
The big SAT prep companies only focus on the material. That’s fine, because you have to learn the material, too.
But they don’t give you the mental edge that you need to do your best. They don’t teach you the inner game. They don’t show you how to get yourself to do what you know. It hasn’t even crossed their minds.
I do. I’m a test preparation success coach, an expert in the psychology of preparing for high stakes, high pressure standardized tests, and performing at your absolute peak on test day. I’ve been doing it for 10 years now.
That’s why I created SAT Success Secrets.
It’s premier, private tutoring that not only teaches you what you need to know to get a great score, but also shows you how to actually achieve it.
Here’s the secret…
Almost every student is capable of raising his SAT score 300 points.
Including you.
Even if you’re already a top scorer you can raise it another 150.
The question is how do you achieve it.
Although a good student, my son was never pleased with his standardized testing scores and feared that the SAT would jeopardize his chances of being accepted to a top university… Working with Jeff resulted in my son’s achieving an over 500 point improvement from his first PSAT score… but more importantly to achieve the self-confidence needed to overcome his fears. -Lela N.
I wanted you to know that your tutoring made all the difference in the world when it came to how she prepared for this important moment in her life… The confidence factor alone is immeasurable… Your skilled tutoring helped Casey keep the right frame of mind, and went a long way to prepare her mentally and emotionally, not just academically… With our family’s thanks and best regards. -Vicki S.
The parents we refer to Jeff consistently tell me that not only did their kids do well on the SAT, but for the first time they felt confident about taking these tests, and about their school work in general, and felt that everything was going to be OK. It’s particularly true for our students with learning differences. -Kris Ragland, Associate Director of College Counseling, Campbell Hall
The competition is fierce when it comes to getting into the college you really have your heart set on. There’s a lot of pressure to succeed. Good grades are not enough, and you need that extra edge.
Imagine the edge an extra 150 points gives you. Or 300 points. Or even more.
You can get it for yourself. Reach your potential. Achieve the success you deserve.

P.S. I get emails all the time from parents whose kids have have dramatically improved their SAT score, gotten into the college of their choice, and feel great about the experience (sometimes I get emails from students, too!), and I want to help you, too.
Read What Others Have To Say
(These have been edited for brevity)
I had fun while learning to master the techniques of the SAT trade, so I didn’t suffer through SAT prep like my friends did with other tutors. I owe my nearly perfect score to Jeff, and can honestly say that I enjoyed the process. -Shayna K
Michael is currently working hard at Cornell and enjoying his exciting new experience. I have already given your name to a number of friends who have asked me who tutored Michael. You’re a great tutor, you have an intuitive feel for motivating and bringing out the best in young people. All the best, -Rick and Mary Beth L.
Matthew is having a blast at UCSD. You are clearly very talented. -Joan W.
A little update: Evan has his undergraduate degree in Architecture, he just left today for Buenos Aires to work for a year for an architectural firm then he’ll go back to London for 2 more years to finish up his graduate degree. So you definitely helped him in his life! -Toni S.
You were terrific and Trevor enjoyed your sessions. You influenced his self confidence positively to be successful at test taking. Good news! -Maureen E.
Dylan was reluctant to get a tutor because he has tried it before and didn’t feel like he got much out of it. This time was definitely different. You have given him a lot of confidence about this test and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate that. Thanks so much for all your help. -Mimi D
Thank you for the excellent preparation you have given Max. I’m really pleased with the results. I know Max enjoyed working with you. -Cindy K.
I just wanted to say thanks so much for everything, and tell you what a lovely time I had talking to you; I’m going to miss your conversation. I hope we meet again some time in the future, you were a blast-of-a-tutor and a truly swell guy. Until then, best wishes from my mom and I - Calla M.
All of my scores went up and I have a 2050. Anyways, thanks for helping me out so much. Hopefully I’ll talk to you soon. - Becca L.
I cannot believe I did that much better. Couldn’t have done it without you, Jeff. Thanks.
-Logan L.
