SAT Essay Tutoring and Test Prep

Difficulties practicing the SAT Essay section?

The SAT Essay prompt is always accompanied by a passage about 700 words long. The student is expected to carefully read it and explain how the author “builds” the argument with specific reference to structure, stylistic and persuasive elements and reasoning.

Our SAT Essay tutors can show you how to identify the most important points of the passage and mark them down for reference in your piece. Students find the SAT Essay difficult because it demands a high level of analysis and structured arguments in a mere 50 minutes. This makes strong exam technique and analytical skills crucial for top marks, and students typically struggle to improve on these without the help of a SAT Essay tutor.

On their own, students find it difficult to condense their essay into a strong analytical response, despite doing endless SAT Essay practice tests. Additionally, many candidates will find that online resources and SAT Essay tips, like practice essays, are too general in their guidance.
