My instructor for this 6-week course was Kevin Parrish. Kevin was a very good teacher because he was optimistic, energetic, and highly qualified. It was evident that he cared about the growth of his students and wanted each one of us succeed and learn the material. His tips and tricks throughout the course helped both the math section as well as the reading and writing section. In the math section, I learned how to approach the questions as well as learned how to simplify the process of getting the answer which helped me with my timing issues. In the reading and writing section, I learned how to look for patterns which improved my understanding of both the question being asked as well as the passage given. My scores were consistently improving throughout the course, starting with an 1190 and finishing with a 1440. Not only did my score improve, but my confidence when taking the practice tests also improved. I liked how this course helped me not only for the SAT, but also for my other classes. I have seen an improvement in my calculus class due to the better understanding of algebra and trigonometry lessons. Lastly, I liked how organized this course was. Each class began with an overview of what would be taught and gone over that class which helped my stay focused an motivated while learning.
