June Scores, August Plans, and Summer Moves

17 Jun 2025 — 2 min read

Hello MJTP families!

I've been hard at work designing a new test prep application for my students, accumulating and creating quality content, and working with developers to ensure it meets the standards of the highest achievers. I can't wait to show you a glimpse of what this will look like.

June 7 SAT Scores Are Almost Here!

Score reports from the June SAT are expected this Friday. Whatever the results, remember: there’s another opportunity coming fast — the August 23rd SAT. For rising juniors and seniors, the summer is the perfect time to prep without the pressure of school assignments. A strong August showing can change everything when it comes to college applications.

Bootcamp Early Bird Deadline – TOMORROW

Just a quick reminder: tomorrow is the early bird deadline for my four-week SAT Bootcamp. After tomorrow, prices will increase.

For those who have already enrolled, stay tuned for more details. We'll be sending a welcome email over the weekend with information about materials and expectations.

I’ll be covering SAT Reading & Writing, and Dr. Ela Sharma (published author) will be leading SAT Math. It’s 8 hours of live instruction over 4 weeks — a focused, supportive small group environment. We still have a few spots left, but space is limited by design.

Build Your College Application This Summer

Request teacher recommendation letters
Visit colleges (or explore virtual tours)
Work on resume-building experiences

❕

This week some of my students were invited to tutor their peers through a new College Board/Khan Academy partnership — a fantastic opportunity to both reinforce their own SAT skills and gain leadership experience.

As the saying goes: the best way to learn something is to teach it.

I can't wait to hear how this goes! I'd love to share these tutoring experiences with the MJTP family.

Stay Cool & Keep In Touch!

It’s hot here in sunny southwest Florida ☀️ — I hope you and your family are enjoying the summer wherever you are. If you’re heading on any college visits or cool trips, please send photos! I’d love to feature what MJTP students and families are up to this summer.

Stay one step ahead, and as always — reach out if I can support you in any way.

Warm regards,
Mr. John
