SAT Tutoring Services: Boost Your SAT Scores with Expert One-on-One Help
Our greatest teaching tool is our passion. We get involved — head and heart — and have a vested interest in seeing our students grow.
Your SAT test date is looming… are you prepared?
Every one of our SAT tutors has passed our tutor training programme with distinction, and then passed the SAT at the 99th percentile. Our SAT tutors don’t just know the work, they know how to teach it.
Our programme is guided by a sophisticated diagnostic tool that identifies which of the 37 sub-sections in the SAT we need to focus on in order to achieve your goal.
Our SAT students frequently improve their score by 200 points.
Your SAT tuition needs are assessed
Student profile
Study habits, routines, interests and learning style — an in-depth qualitative and quantitative review of the student’s scholastic career.
SAT mock exam and diagnostics
The student writes a full-length SAT at our assessment centre. The exam is carefully analysed to determine the specific subsections, question types, and errors to focus on.
Your target
We review your target universities and scores to shape the programme. Read our SAT information for IEB students for an overview.

Trained SAT Maths and SAT English tutors get you up to speed on:
SAT Mathematics
SAT Math is very different from IEB/Cambridge Math, and there is content and application that you need to learn. We have your back.
SAT English
The skills tested in the SAT Reading and SAT Writing sections are distinct from the skillset taught in IEB and Cambridge English. We fill in the gaps.
SAT test-taking techniques
Getting a great score is about so much more than just knowing the content. We teach you test-taking tools, tricks and techniques designed to maximise your score.
Genius Alumni: over the last 30 years, we are proud to have helped students get into universities such as Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and many others.
How we operate
Initial Consultation
We begin with a personalised consultation at our Fourways assessment centre, where we gain a thorough understanding of the student’s academic background, study approach, and long-term goals. This process includes both a qualitative discussion and a detailed analysis of their academic performance to ensure we tailor our approach to their unique needs.
Tutor Matching
If tuition is recommended, we carefully select a tutor from our team who aligns with the student’s learning style and personality. Since we work directly with our tutors — not as an agency — we ensure that every student is paired with a mentor they can trust, connect with, and feel motivated to learn from.
Personalised One-on-One Tuition
Lessons take place in the comfort of your home or at school, providing a structured yet flexible learning experience. Tutors establish a strong working relationship with the student, ensuring that lessons are engaging, effective, and aligned with their curriculum. Progress is monitored continuously, with structured work assigned between sessions to reinforce learning and track improvement.
