Much of the content on the SAT is never taught in school, and it takes more than a few tips and tricks to raise your score: it takes serious, focused learning. This comprehensive class will prepare students to take the SAT as soon as August 27.
What makes my classes different? Brain-based study skills: students will learn how the brain learns. They will use brain-based study strategies to form long-term memories so they don’t forget all those important vocabulary words and equations. Students will also develop academic skills in college-level critical reading, advanced grammar, and math. My SAT classes help students raise their scores, but they learn so much more.
Students will first master SAT-specific techniques and critical thinking skills to raise scores and improve timing, through lectures, interactive group activities, workbook exercises, and highly effective learning software. Students will then immediately use these skills on practice SATs, followed by in-depth answer explanations.
Please contact me if you are interested in a more or less intensive SAT program or 1-on-1 tutoring.

Don’t let your college application essays worry you all summer–get them done early! This class will take you from a blank page to a polished final draft.
In this class, students will write and edit their main college application essays–the Common App personal statement. Students will learn how to tell their stories in a compelling way to make their applications stand out.
The class will contain structured activities to defeat writer’s block and help students pen their best essays. In addition to getting 1-on-1 feedback from the teacher, a professional college preparation tutor, students will develop peer-editing and self-editing skills that will help them in high school and college.
If you are interested in a longer course or 1-on-1 tutoring, please contact me.
Anna founded Mind the Test to empower students by teaching them how to learn, pairing test preparation and academic tutoring with lifelong research-based study skills.
After years of teaching test prep and English all around the world, she followed her passion for the science of learning to the University of Cambridge, where she researched how to improve educational equity via linguistic dialect-sensitivity on the SAT.
The explanations and lessons are very comprehensive, breaking everything down so that one can learn the most efficient methods for each type of question.
