Hey Jeff,
I scored a 2310 on the SAT, 760 in Critical Reading, 770 in Math, and a 780 in Writing, that was a 180 point increase over my first SAT before your course. I found the course to be very useful in illuminating the subtleties of the SAT. Not only did it inform on specific test-taking strategies, but it also gave a vital glimpse into the thought process behind the questions and provided a useful and applicable set of tools to help solve obscure problems. It teaches you how to think about the SAT and how to approach problems in a generalizable way, which I think is more valuable than any other sort of preparation. The course was, overall, useful for all levels of achievement; my time was well spent.

"Jeff is very well versed in strategies that help a student to excel on every section of the SAT. These strategies have helped our son enormously and have added to his confidence. Not only is Jeff technically competent, but he is a patient teacher and had a very good rapport with our son. He displayed a genuine interest in him doing well and went the extra mile to help him." On the last SAT Reasoning Test our son earned an 800 on the math section!"

“I really enjoyed the class, it was fun, engaging, entertaining and gave me confidence. The class was more enjoyable then I expected and the lessons really held my attention allowing me to fully absorb the information. I was only hoping to increase my score in math but ended up increasing my score in critical reading too. I went up 90 points in the math alone which I was absolutely ecstatic about. I found out on Christmas and it was the best gift I received all day. I now have an 1810 and I am very pleased. I certainly recommend this class; it was fun, effective and well worth it!”

"If are looking for an awesome SAT Prep teacher, you should contact Jeff Poretto. He was recommended to me by 2 friends whose 11th grade boys he taught. Both of them were very happy with the improvement in their children's scores. My daughter, Kara saw a huge improvement in all of her scores. She raised her scores by 370 points! I would highly recommend this course. He is patient and very knowledgeable and certainly knows the "ins and outs" of the test."

"Hi Jeff,
I am happy to report that taking the SAT prep class really helped Colin’s score. As you may remember he had a 1940 the first time and ended up with a 2080 the second time. His Math went from 610 to 680, verbal went from 640 to 700 and the new writing section went from 690 to 700. This is exactly what I was hoping for.
Colin was thrilled and so was I. Thanks, Margaret" (2007)
