Could It Really Be Possible For Your Son Or Daughter To Raise Her SAT Score 300 Points…
And Do It In A Low Stress Way That Builds Her Motivation And Confidence?
The answer is “Yes”… and if you want to eliminate your worry and concern that the SAT will keep him from getting admitted to the college of his choice… and start experiencing the confidence and satisfaction of knowing he got the highest score he could possibly get… Then this might be the most important letter you’ll read this year.
Dear Parent,
- Is your son or daughter doing pretty well in school, and taking challenging classes, but having a hard time reaching his potential when it comes to the high pressure, high stakes tests like the SAT that carry so much weight in the college admissions process?
- Do you wonder why some kids get a good SAT score with ease, while yours can’t seem to figure out how to use her smarts and knowledge to get the score she deserves?
- Are you concerned that your son or daughter just isn’t working hard enough, can’t stay focused, and seems to lack the motivation to do what’s needed to boost his chances in such a competitive college admissions process?
- Have you heard stories of kids who took expensive, time consuming SAT prep classes only to have their scores stay essentially the same, and wonder why that happens and what you can do to make sure that doesn’t happen to your kid?
If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, you are NOT alone.
In fact, those questions come from working with a LOT of students, and their parents, over the past 10 years and figuring out how to help each one reach her potential and achieve her goals.
It’s a fact: When it comes to your child’s SAT score, it’s hard to know what to expect.
Most parents just want their son or daughter to do her best, but have the experience of feeling like they don’t know what to do to help her to get there.
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.
Here’s the truth: Almost every student is capable of raising his SAT score 300 points; even the one’s who are already top scorers can raise it another 150.
The question is how to help them achieve it, and what stands in their way.
Let me give you analogy.
Have you ever tried to lose weight?
It’s hard to do.
Not because of a lack of information. There’s a ton of books and programs and classes that can tell you what to do. It’s something else, something that’s hard to put your finger on.
Raising your score on the SAT is the same way.
There’s a ton of books and programs and classes and tutors who can tell you what to do. There are lots of people who can teach the material.
What you need is someone who can help your son or daughter learn it.
That’s a LOT harder to find.
In fact, The National Association for College Admission Counseling released a study last spring that said the average score increase from SAT prep was only 30 points.
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.
I have students from expensive private high schools that cost $30,000 a year who struggle with algebra. Others can’t find the main idea of a story.
Sometimes I still ask myself how can that be, even though I know the answer.
It’s not the students’ fault.
It’s just that nobody has ever taken the time to reach them. To find out why they’re having trouble, and to help them get past it.
To listen patiently as they explain their difficulties and offer workable solutions on the spot.
To help them continue to work hard when it gets so frustrating that they want to stop trying.
Perhaps you’re familiar with the situation.
Kids want to learn and do their best, and they love when someone can help them do it.
I’ve found that being with my students reduces their anxiety about the SAT to the point where studying for it becomes gratifying, even fun, as they see themselves improving and believe they’ll reach their goals.
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
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
I don’t have to tell you how much stress kids put on themselves to succeed, and the competition is fierce when it comes to getting into the college you really have your heart set on. Good grades are not enough, and each student needs an edge.
Imagine the edge an extra 150 points gives you. Or 300 points. Or even more.
You can give your son or daughter that edge. Help him reach his potential. Help her achieve the success she deserves.

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.
