Student came in with very low math scores. They were enrolled in a weak math program at school and lacked knowledge of important, basic concepts. We focused on catching up by learning as much core math curriculum as possible. The student absorbed a significant amount of new material in a short amount of time and improved their math scores from red flag to net positive.

Student had a decent reading foundation but major gaps in math skills, with less than 8 weeks to go before the test. Our main priority was achieving a solid baseline in math and verbal while aiming for a high score in reading. Through targeted study, the student doubled their math scores into the 80th+ percentile. Exceptional results with 7s across the board and a 9 in reading.
