Following on the success of our course last summer, we will once again be offering a small-group online prep course leading up to the August SAT! This course will include 24 hours of instruction and 2 full proctored tests over 6 weeks and is scheduled to prepare students for the August 28, 2021 exam. The course offers an amazing 80% discount over our private tutoring options. To make sure you get the best of both worlds, we’re also offering some optional 1-on-1 sessions at a discount. Is this the right fit for you? Find out below!
Expert Teachers
- Verbal sessions will be led by Dr. Ryan Judkins (Ph.D., English), the founder of Bootstrap Tutors
- Math sessions will be led by Dr. Patrick Weiser (Ph.D., Organic Chemistry), Bootstrap’s senior math tutor
Small-Group Instruction
- Class sizes will be limited to 4 to 8 students so each student can receive individual attention
- Mix of brief lectures and hands-on practice, following the classic and effective “Tell, Show, Do” pedagogy
- Collaborative online learning community with easy access to instructors by phone, text, or email
Top-Notch Material
- Bootstrap’s materials and course content distill 12 years of experience with these exams into 24 hours of instruction
- The course will use official practice tests and questions so students have the highest quality of material to hone their approach
- Sessions include not only advice on strategies and content but also stress-management and effective mental frameworks
Proctored Practice Exams
- Two proctored full exams will be offered, one the weekend before the course begins and the second at the end of Week 4, helping students develop the mental endurance the test requires.
Efficient, Intensive & Recorded
- Sessions are scheduled to end the week of the test, so students are at the top of their game
- Meets virtually twice a week through Zoom, Tuesdays and Thursdays, for 2 hours each
- Scheduled in the afternoon so as not to overlap with morning or evening activities: 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
- Sessions will be recorded and archived for review or in case you miss the live session!
Optional 1-on-1 Instruction
- Do you have individual questions? Why not schedule a discounted tutoring session before the class gets started to find out what’s giving you trouble on the test and to get to know your tutor?
- Or do you want to work in more depth on a topic covered in the class, with your tutor’s full attention and a personalized tutoring report with follow-up homework after each meeting? Schedule follow-up 1-on-1 sessions at a discounted rate!
