Video frame from CBS 5 News TV Interview with Kate Kelly

An SAT or ACT Course Is Only As Good As Its Teacher

Our AWARD-WINNING Professional Credentialed AP Teacher taught AP Computer Science at a top-ranked ( based on API ) Bay Area high school. With a nationwide Computer Science AP Exam passing rate of 59% ( yes, it's a hard test), 91% of his students passed. He knows what it takes to score high on these exams.

1. Teaches the SAT & ACT FULL-TIME every day - Seven+ years of experience

We're not talking about 3 - 10 hours a week here. We mean 25 - 35 hours a week year-round minus Summer Break, Winter Break, Spring Break, and a few select holidays. So yes, he's experienced.

Real teaching is MUCH MORE than standing in front of a room reading the Instructor's Manual.

Anyone can do that, including you.

What does EXPERIENCED mean?

- Experienced means knowing every single question in and out.

- Experienced means having taught EACH and EVERY question more than 100 times and thus giving explanations and solutions that are CLEAR, SIMPLE, and ELEGANT. Even the most complex and confusing test questions are clarified and rendered comprehensible.

- Experienced means having worked with SO MANY STUDENTS ( 600+ ) that you know what mistakes students will make EVEN BEFORE THEY KNOW.

- Experienced means knowing when a student got the right answer the WRONG WAY and teaching them to do it the right way.

- Experienced means knowing when a student is NOT getting it when he SAYS he is.

2. AP High School Teacher at top-ranked Bay Area school ( API of 873 )

Having real public high school classroom experience, he expects & demands that students work hard in class and pushes them as far as they can go.

He isn't afraid to yell at kids who don't do the homework or to call parents if their kid slacks off. Some kids might even get detention.

3. Taken more than 30 REAL SAT's, ACT's, SAT Subject Tests

No he doesn't enjoy taking them, but he does so in order to know what he is talking about.

Taking a few SAT's or ACT's back in high school is NOWHERE NEAR enough to make you a good teacher.

4. Scores consistently 2200+ on SAT, 32+ on ACT

5. ETS ( maker of SAT ) Essay Reader & Grader

The SAT/ ACT essays are like no other essays. They want these written in a very particular way and trains their readers to look for specific things in the essays.

6. Author of now ILLEGAL & BANNED SAT test-taking methods & problem solving approaches book

7. Bachelor's Degree - UC Berkeley

You can't tell students they have to work hard and study for these tests unless you've done it yourself. Lead by example.

8. Professional Teaching Credential - UC Davis
