Summer is an ideal time to study for the SAT. Whether you are a rising Junior taking the PSAT in the Fall or a rising Senior looking to improve on your previous SAT scores, Marin SAT Prep’s comprehensive, 12-lesson Summer course provides thorough training in all of the strategies and skills you need to succeed.
Classes are taught by Marin SAT Prep founder Adam Piacente. A highly experienced SAT tutor and author of his own SAT text book, SAT Unlocked, Adam has developed a uniquely effective SAT training program that has helped hundreds of Marin County students achieve significantly higher scores.
Classes meet daily, Monday through Thursday, for three consecutive weeks at the Marin SAT Prep classroom, conveniently located near N. San Pedro Rd. & Hwy 101 in central San Rafael.

Jun 15 – July 2

Class instruction begins at 9:30 am and end at 11:00 am. Students then complete homework during a one hour, guided study session immediately following each class.
Classes are taught in a special seminar format of no more than 5 students per class. The low student-teacher ratio assures personal attention to each student’s individual needs. Students may also supplement regular course lessons with private tutoring sessions if they wish.
