While strong academics help students thrive in school, the SAT requires a unique strategic approach and study techniques that every student benefits from learning.
At VSA, we offer a systematic set of test prep guidelines and test-taking strategies that transforms the test from a stress-inducing race into a practiced procedure.
Time management doesn’t come through repeated races with a stopwatch, but rather a balance between careful question selection and concise note-taking. At VSA, our experienced SAT prep teacher offer targeted practice tailored to each student, test-taking and time-management strategies that boost confidence and actually work, and content review that hones reading, writing, and math skills. Each SAT class is tailored to its students’ specific needs, levels, and abilities, and we offer a personalized class plan for each student with our 20-, 40-, and 50-hour classes.

SAT English Prep
Become skilled test decoders with our reading and writing test-taking strategies.
Become skilled test decoders with our reading and writing test-taking strategies.
Our prep course breaks the Reading and Writing section of the SAT into easy-to-tackle components. These sections are built by expert test makers, and students will become expert test decoders. Every question in the Reading Section has a specific purpose in mind— your child will learn to intuitively understand what’s being asked of them. In preparation for the Writing section, your child will approach it not only as a test taker, but also as a copyeditor, fixing a colleague’s mistakes in a report. Our strategies will prepare your child to get both the SAT score and the English grades they’ll need to succeed in college.
Reading Section
- Reconceptualize questions into your own words
- Read passages strategically based on question content
- Write effective margin notes to learn efficiently
- Infer valid guesses to reduce your dependence on the process of elimination
Writing Section

- Develop an ear for precision of language
- Establish an eye for spotting redundancies and fixing wordiness
- Gain confidence in editing verb, pronoun, and modifier errors

Teacher Bios
Mr. Patryk
A teacher for over 8 years, Mr. Patryk has taught English at a New Jersey public school and as well as Writing and Public Speaking at VSA Future. He previously taught ESL for two years in South Korea after earning a Master’s Degree in English in 2013. Mr. Patryk’s approach to the English area of the SAT is to teach students to create their own style of quick notes that hit the bullseye on the central argument of each paragraph in the reading section. Reconceptualizing in one’s own words allows the student to take charge of the material. In the writing section, Mr. Patryk teaches students to become copy editors with a drive for concision, precision, and consistency.
