Live one-on-one SAT coaching over video, on a plan paced to your test date, with someone who notices what you're avoiding.
Tell me your test date and where you're scoring. The first conversation costs nothing.
What's different
The big prep companies sell recorded lectures and a bottomless bank of auto-graded quizzes. You watch, you click, and nothing ever checks whether any of it landed.
No videos to work through alone. We're on the same call for every session, which means I see the moment you get lost and we stop right there.
I take a small number of students at a time, so the plan bends around your specific gaps. Two students starting the same week spend their sessions on completely different things.
You leave each session with work to do, and I read it before the next one. Skipped work gets noticed. That is most of what separates students who improve from students who meant to.
Shortcuts collapse the moment a question is phrased in a way you haven't seen. We build the understanding underneath, so an unfamiliar question is still one you can answer.
The program
Most people sit the SAT more than once. These ten sessions cover every domain properly, so you go into the first attempt with the whole test understood rather than half of it crammed. Whatever you score, that foundation is what the next attempt builds on.
Ten weeks is the default pace, because one session a week is a workload you can keep up with alongside school. It is a default, not a rule.
Test in five weeks? The same ten sessions compress into five. Sitting it in March? Spread them out. You set a finish date when you sign up — or leave it alone for the standard ten weeks — and the booking windows redraw around it. You book each session yourself, whenever suits that week.
Session 1 — free
Thirty minutes on how the SAT is actually built: the sections, the timing, how the second module adapts to how you did on the first, and how scoring works. You take a full practice test afterwards — that result is what sets the order of everything that follows.
Sessions 2 to 9
Eight sessions alternating between the two halves of the test, four each. Which domain any given session covers is decided by your first practice test — your weakest areas come first, while there is still time to do something about them.
Across the eight, every domain the test examines gets covered: Algebra, Advanced Math, Geometry and Trigonometry, and Problem-Solving and Data Analysis on the maths side; Information and Ideas, Craft and Structure, Standard English Conventions, and Expression of Ideas on the reading and writing side.
Session 10
By the last session I have watched nine sessions of your work, so I know exactly which questions keep catching you. It is built only from those — the same traps in unfamiliar questions — plus a full timed test and a plan for test day. If you sit the test again later, this is the session we repeat rather than starting from the beginning.

Who you'd be working with
I'm Arjun Sama, an aerospace engineering major at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, with a perfect 800 on the reading and writing section.
I got there in spite of the big prep companies rather than because of them. What they sold me was a library — recorded lectures to sit through, question banks to grind — and nothing in the whole apparatus knew what I kept getting wrong, or seemed curious to find out. So I stopped using it and built a plan of my own: ten sessions, one domain at a time, every mistake written down and returned to.
It worked. This is that plan, taught by the person who wrote it, and I keep enrolment small on purpose. Ten sessions of real attention only works if there's attention left to give.
Every session runs online over video, so it doesn't matter where you are. You book each one yourself from your own portal, at least 48 hours apart, inside the window for that session. All practice materials are included, and the work you submit comes back marked.
Your test date and where you're scoring now. That's all I need to tell you whether this is worth your money — and if it isn't, I'll say so.
