In the words of one of my students: “After 3 months with Sonya, I scored 1590 on my second SAT sitting and was admitted to Columbia University—my dream school.” Dmitry Zakharov, Columbia University ’23, Computer Science Most students who come to me have already worked with other tutors or spent months studying on their own. They’ve learned the strategies. They’ve drilled practice tests. And yet, they’re still stuck in the same score range. The problem is usually not a lack of effort. They haven’t yet learned how the SAT actually thinks. I teach students the internal logic of the SAT Verbal section—a specific way of reading, reasoning, and evaluating answer choices that goes beyond tips and techniques. Once students understand that logic, questions that once seemed tricky become much more predictable. That’s especially important for students trying to break through a plateau. Getting from the 600s into the 700–800 range requires more than simply doing more practice tests. It requires learning to see the test differently. That’s what I can teach you.

I understand that your time is valuable. The last thing you need is a cookie-cutter prep program that spends hours on material you've already mastered. That is why the first thing I do is identify your strengths and weaknesses. Every student is different, so I tailor my teaching to how you think and where you need the most improvement. My approach focuses on teaching the reasoning process behind each question — how to think through problems methodically rather than simply memorizing formulas and answer patterns. I also have several actual recent test questions to work from. I have helped many students go from the 1300 range to 1500+, and most complete their preparation in about 2 months, studying approximately 5 hours per week. I provide all the materials you need, including questions from recent tests. No busywork, no generic lesson plans, just focused, personalized coaching that respects your time and delivers results. I also have many actual questions from recent SAT's

I've been coaching students for the SAT since 2013, and I keep fully up to date on all the developments with the exam, including the recent change to the digital format. I have coached dozens of students in one-on-one tutoring, including students who have scored up to 1550 on the exam. What's important to me is personal improvement and a growth mindset: every mistake offers an opportunity to learn how to improve. For this reason, I ask all students to keep an Error Log of mistakes, so that we can understand your knowledge gaps as well as process errors, in order to help you score as high as possible on your next exam. Internationals welcome! I've worked with many students whose first language was not English, and I can provide specific resources to support you.

I scored a perfect 1600 on the SAT - and I've spent the last 16+ years helping students get as close to that ceiling as possible. Across 3,000+ students, my SAT tutees average 200+ point gains, with many breaking 1500+ on their way to admission at top US universities. I graduated from NYU Summa Cum Laude with a double major in Economics and English, and earned my MBA from Columbia Business School in 2020. Before joining Leland, I founded and ran my own boutique tutoring firm in New York, leading a team of tutors and developing proprietary SAT curriculum used with thousands of students. My approach is built on pattern recognition, test strategy, and disciplined execution, not endless practice tests. The SAT rewards students who understand how the test is designed, where the traps are, and how to manage the clock. That's what I teach. If you're looking for structured, strategic SAT prep, not generic test prep that treats every student the same, let's talk
