SAT Test Prep

The SAT rewards preparation more than raw talent — students who know the test's patterns, pacing, and traps consistently outscore students who are simply strong in the classroom. Luminary Tutoring builds a personalized SAT plan around your teen's actual strengths and gaps, so every session moves their score forward instead of reviewing material they've already mastered.

 

What Our SAT Program Covers

• Reading & Writing: command of evidence, grammar and usage, vocabulary in context, and rhetorical synthesis

• Math: algebra, problem-solving and data analysis, and advanced math, with an emphasis on the calculator and no-calculator sections

• Full-length, timed practice tests with detailed score breakdowns by section and question type

• Pacing and test-day strategy, including when to skip, guess, and return to a question

 

Our Approach

Every student starts with a free diagnostic to identify exactly which question types are costing points. From there, we build a personalized study plan and adjust it weekly based on practice test data — so families always know how their student is progressing and what's coming next. Weekly progress reports keep parents in the loop without needing to ask.

 

Flexible Formats

Choose the structure that fits your family's timeline: our 5-Week SAT Prep Course for a focused, structured run-up to a test date, or ongoing 1-on-1 tutoring for students who want sustained, personalized coaching over a longer period. Both formats are available in-person across Manhattan and Brooklyn, or online.

 

Who We Work With

We tutor students from their first diagnostic test through test day, whether they're aiming to break 1400 for the first time or pushing from a strong score into the 1500s for highly selective admissions. We also work with students retaking the SAT who need to target specific, identified weak spots rather than starting over.
