SAT Intensive
The most comprehensive SAT package: designed for students aiming for major score transformations, top-percentile scores, or who simply want the deepest, most thorough prep available. The right package for students with a longer prep arc, a meaningful score gap to close, or ambitions for elite scores (1500+). The engagement begins with a full-length proctored SAT diagnostic and a comprehensive review with both the student and parents to align on goals, target scores, and prep strategy. I build a custom prep plan tailored to the student's specific profile, and we use the 40 hours of 1-on-1 instruction to work systematically and deeply across the entire test. What separates the Intensive from Standard isn't just additional hours, it's additional depth. The package includes 4–6 full-length proctored practice tests across the engagement (vs. typically 2–4 in Standard), with each one followed by a detailed live review session. It includes dedicated work on advanced strategy and pattern recognition for students aiming at elite scores. It includes pacing and stamina training for managing a long, high-stakes test day. And it includes formal score milestone reviews with parents at multiple points across the engagement, so families always know where their student stands and what's coming next. If a retake is part of the strategy, retake preparation is fully included, analyzing the official score report, identifying remaining weak spots, and refining strategy for the second test. There's no additional package required if your student wants to take the SAT more than once. All curriculum, materials, and practice tests are included. Throughout the engagement, your student has direct, high-priority messaging access for time-sensitive questions.
What's included
This is the most thorough SAT package I offer, and the work is structured to feel like a real long-arc partnership rather than a transactional series of lessons. We meet for 60–90 minute live video sessions on a regular cadence, typically weekly during the prep arc, stepping up to twice-weekly in the weeks leading up to the test if needed. Between sessions, your student has direct, high-priority messaging access. My approach is built on pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution, not endless practice tests. But in the Intensive, the depth goes further. We work on advanced strategy techniques that separate top scorers from average ones. We do dedicated pacing and stamina training because the SAT rewards students who can sustain focus across the full test, not just answer questions correctly in isolation. We track progress carefully through 4–6 full-length proctored practice tests, each followed by a live debrief where the real teaching happens. Parents stay informed throughout, I provide formal score milestone reviews at multiple points across the engagement so families always know where their student stands and what's coming next. The Intensive is the right fit for students with real ambitions: major score jumps, top-percentile targets, or simply the desire for the deepest, most thorough prep available.

SAT Expert | Perfect 1600 Score | 16+ Years, 3,000+ Students Coached
I work with students aiming for top outcomes: a 1400+ SAT, a 700+ GMAT, or admission to highly selective colleges and MBA programs. Over 16+ years and 3,000+ students across six continents, I've built a practice around one idea: most students don't need more work, they need the right work, structured the right way. My career started at Prep Zone in Singapore, where I helped expand the company into Shanghai before returning to New York and joining some of the city's top test prep and admissions firms, including Veritas Prep, Bespoke Education, and Advantage Testing. I went on to found my own practice, Global Scholars, where I now work with students across six continents. On the testing side, my students average 200+ point gains on the SAT and 100+ on the GMAT. This is driven by pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution rather than brute-force practice. On the admissions side, my work is about coherence. Smart students often arrive with strong but scattered pieces: academics, extracurriculars, a story they haven't fully figured out. My job is to help them put it all together: a sharp narrative, a strategic school list, and essays that actually sound like them. 95%+ of my students are admitted to at least one of their top-choice schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, MIT, UChicago, NYU, and UCLA. I graduated from NYU and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School, which gives me a current, first-hand perspective on both undergraduate and MBA admissions. If you want a structured, strategic partner, not generic advice, let's talk.
