A former student is tutoring math (790), plus new vocab quiz posted
MJTP families,
Emma is tutoring SAT math — and she's one of the best I've seen
Some of you have been asking about dedicated math support. I want to introduce you to Emma, a former student of mine who now scores consistently in the 790s on SAT math. She's been tutoring students on her own for a while, and she's very good at it.
Her introductory rate is $30 per session or $100 for four sessions — which is genuinely hard to beat for this level of instruction. She's already in touch with two students. Starting next week, she'll be teaching on Tuesdays at 7 pm and Saturdays at 10 am Eastern as part of our Spring Bootcamp, and also offers private sessions separately.
Her flyer has more details, but the short version: if your student needs math help from someone who has mastered the test, Emma is worth a serious look. She knows all the strategies!
Spring SAT Bootcamp — 12 sessions, $400, just in time for May and June
Emma and I are running a Spring SAT Bootcamp together, and enrollment is open now. This is designed specifically for students targeting the May and June SAT dates, so the timing is right.
Here's what's included:
- SAT Verbal Bootcamp with me — Wednesdays at 8 pm Eastern
- SAT Math Bootcamp with Emma — Tuesdays at 7 pm and Saturdays at 10 am Eastern
- Small group sessions, materials, and homework included
- 12 sessions total for $400
If a student needs a focused push before summer, this is the program to consider. Register here!
AP Lang students — you have a secret weapon
If your student is taking AP Language and Composition this spring, here's something worth knowing: SAT reading and writing prep overlaps more with AP Lang than most people realize. The skills are the same — reading complex texts carefully, understanding argument structure, analyzing how a writer uses evidence and rhetoric. But the secret sauce is in our ISEE method. If you know, you know.
Students who sharpen those skills for the SAT come into the AP exam with stronger instincts.
I have limited availability for AP Lang tutoring right now. If you're interested, get in touch sooner rather than later.
New vocab quiz posted — April 2026 School Day SAT
The vocab quiz from the April 2026 School Day SAT is now live:
April 2026 SAT Vocab Survey Quiz — School Day Version
If your student took that test, this is a great way to review the words that appeared. And if they're prepping for May or June, it's worth a look regardless — vocabulary from recent tests is fair game.
I've also updated the SAT Vocabulary Trends post. Several answers repeated again from earlier exams, which continues to be a pattern worth paying attention to.
That's it for this week. Reach out if you have questions about any of the above.
— Mr. John
