BIG CHANGES to the SAT are coming in 2024 (U.S.) or THIS YEAR abroad! Hear about them from a test prep expert, Dr. P.
In his bestselling book Who Gets In and Why, New York Times author Jeffrey Selingo revealed that researchers have found that private tutoring (as opposed to test prep classes or solo study) is uniquely effective in raising test scores (pp. 62-63), citing that “the only significant increase in test scores came from…working with a private tutor.”
But not all tutors are created equally. By blending content review; strategies that they can apply to future tests; and self-esteem boosting for the challenges ahead, Dr. P.’s own students’ scores increase from 10 to 25% in as few as six weeks.

“The Best [SAT] TUTOR In nyc”
Dr. P is wonderfully patient. She is strategic--listening, questioning and then diagnosing exactly where the deficiencies lie. Her antidote is to target and re-train on concepts. She is probably The Best Tutor in NYC. We highly recommend her SAT tutoring capabilities and strategies. Thank you Dr. P! - From K.B., NYC - Read the review on Yelp here
“Sorry we didn’t use her sooner”
Though Dr. P. had been recommended to me last fall, another (less expensive) tutor worked with my son on ACT prep this spring instead. Unfortunately, my son’s scores and skills stagnated during that time. So, I reached out to Dr. P. this summer in the hopes that she could do something to help raise my son’s ACT scores. Because she charges a bit more than our previous tutor, we began with just a 10-hour package. We wound up buying two more. Not only did Dr. P. teach my son the basics of algebra and geometry that enabled him to raise his ACT score by 5 points, with improvement in every section. She gave him the confidence that he needed to believe that he could do it. Medical issues, changing schools, and ADD had diminished my son’s academic self-esteem, but through patient encouragement and nurturing structure, Dr. P. showed him that he had the skills and intelligence to perform well. I’m so thankful we found her — and sorry we didn’t use her sooner. I recommend Dr. P. and Crimson Coaching to any family whose child needs to take a test, improve skills, and learn content. — L.D., Lower Westchester County
