Elite SAT Tutoring for
1500+ Scorers

It is achievable because we treat the SAT as a logic test, not just a math or reading test. Most students lose points not because they lack knowledge, but because they fall for the test's specific traps and time-wasting designs. By focusing on test-taking strategy, pattern recognition, and time management—rather than just reviewing high school curriculum—we unlock significant score jumps that subject-only tutoring cannot achieve.

In Calculus, you show your work to get credit. On the SAT, the only thing that matters is the correct bubble. Our tutors teach "hacks" and shortcuts that your high school math teacher would hate—methods to solve complex problems in 30 seconds using estimation, answer elimination, and plugging in numbers. We teach the test, not just the subject.

Yes. The transition to the Digital SAT changed the game, particularly with adaptive testing modules. Our material and strategies are fully updated to address the new Desmos calculator integration, shorter reading passages, and the specific adaptive algorithms used by the College Board.

We provide the material. We have curated a library of proprietary strategies and official practice questions. We do not rely on generic bookstore prep books that often fail to mimic the actual difficulty of the exam.

No. Unlike major test-prep chains that lock you into expensive 20-hour packages, Hack Your Course operates on a strict pay-as-you-go model. You pay only for the sessions you need. We believe our results should keep you coming back, not a contract.

We offer a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with your first SAT tutoring session, you do not pay for it. We will either part ways friends or match you with a different tutor who better fits your learning style. Notably, no SAT student has invoked this guarantee to date—a testament to our extremely selective hiring standards and limited intake model. We maintain strict quality control for standardized test prep, ensuring every tutor meets the highest performance and pedagogical standards.

SAT prep requires a specific type of tutor—one who has scored in the top 1% and knows how to teach strategy. These tutors are rare. We refuse to dilute our quality by hiring generalists just to fill seats. We cap our intake to ensure every student gets a true specialist.

The timeline depends heavily on your score goal. For students targeting 600-level scores, a focused 3 to 4 month preparation period can yield strong results with consistent effort. However, breaking the 700 barrier—whether in Math or Evidence-Based Reading and Writing—is a different challenge entirely. Students aiming for scores above 700 typically need at least 10 to 12 months of preparation, regardless of their academic background. The 700+ range demands not just strategy, but deep pattern mastery and reflexive execution under pressure. While exceptions exist, this extended timeline reflects the reality of reaching elite score thresholds.

We do not hire random undergraduates. Our team consists of professional educators and top-tier specialists who are vetted employees, not just gig-economy contractors. They are selected based on their own perfect or near-perfect SAT scores and their proven ability to communicate complex strategies simply.

Yes, we have physical presences in all three cities (North Vancouver, Seattle WA, and Yorkville Toronto). However, many of our highest-rated SAT strategists work remotely, allowing you to access the best talent in our network regardless of your physical location.

Yes. While the tests are different, the fundamental need for speed and strategy is the same. We can help you decide which test favors your student's strengths (e.g., the ACT is faster-paced but more straightforward; the SAT is trickier but allows more time per question) and prep accordingly.

Anxiety often stems from the unknown. By demystifying the test and teaching students exactly what to expect—down to the distribution of question types—we replace anxiety with a game plan. When a student knows exactly how to handle a "hard" question, they stop panicking and start executing.
