Terrified on Test Day?

Putting off preparing and feeling hopeless?

Frustrated because you think you’re not a good test taker?

 

After  twenty years of sharing her secrets of achievement with young athletes, Barbara Ann and Elizabeth King, an SAT/ACT tutor and Educational Consultant and author of "OUTSMARTING the SAT",  have recently teamed up to bring their combined skills to SAT and ACT test preparation and academic achievement.  

Elizabeth and her team have been working with students from New York to Miami and Los Angeles to Toronto for years. With her help, students have consistently discovered that they can quickly and easily learn real skills to see incredible gains in their SAT and ACT scores. Elizabeth doesn't use crazy guessing strategies and weird top-secret-guru ideas. Instead, she teaches the topics and problem-solving skills every student who scores over a 2100 on the SAT knows;  Elizabeth is just exceptionally good at making them clear, simple, and even fun!

Elizabeth's scholarly foundation, coupled with Barbara Ann’s insights to turn on the focus and energy when it’s time, provide that extra edge for students to take their scores to the next level.
