SAT Preparation · Reading & Writing

Read with precision. Write with control.

SAT English Lecture turns grammar, rhetoric, evidence, and passage analysis into a coherent system students can apply accurately under digital-test conditions.

16 sessions
1 hr 45 min each
Once weekly* school year
$300* per month

*Summer terms meet twice weekly and complete the same 16-session course in eight weeks. Summer tuition is $600 per month.

Course fit

A rule-based language system—not a collection of test-taking guesses.

This course is designed for students who

  • need systematic instruction across every SAT Reading and Writing domain
  • rely on what “sounds right” instead of dependable grammar and rhetoric rules
  • need stronger control of evidence, inference, structure, and words in context
  • plan to progress into weekly full simulations through Practice & Performance

Curriculum map

Every tested domain, in instructional order.

The official SAT domains organize the course while grammar and core rhetoric come first, creating a dependable base for increasingly complex reading decisions.

Lecture-to-performance system

Learn it. Diagnose it. Execute it.

  1. 01Define

    Make the governing rule or reading task explicit.

  2. 02Recognize

    Identify the structure before evaluating choices.

  3. 03Eliminate

    Reject answers for specific, defensible reasons.

  4. 04Measure

    Use domain-aligned assessment to expose gaps.

  5. 05Simulate

    Finish with a full subject simulation.

Every answer should have a reason.

The Digital SAT Practice Platform supplies adaptive-format questions, domain and skill reporting, and targeted follow-up. Session 16 becomes the exit assessment and baseline for Practice & Performance.

Recommended progression

Next: Practice & Performance

After both subject-specific Lecture Series, students reunite English and Math through weekly full simulations, selected error analysis, Desmos instruction, and performance laboratories.
