About Us

Success is a journey, not a destination — and we stand by that.

It all started in 2001 when Steve realized that the typical academic-only approach to standardized tests was functionally unsound and produced a preponderance of dismal results and frustrated families.

Steve was able to completely redesign test prep into a more holistic and common-sense approach to include peak performance strategies to maximize endurance, focus, alertness, and calm, easy-to-learn techniques that are seldom taught in schools to greatly assist with attention to details, and super-simplified explanations to help make the information plainly understandable. The results produced are #1 in the world.

Thanks to his unrelenting vision to develop a coaching program able to be tailored for anyone, we have successfully helped over 2,000 students find their true potential.

SATPG Dominance System

What makes the SATPG system stand out from the rest?

Results! Results! Results!

Students who follow through in mastering our three foundational principles of knowledge, strategy, and peak performance currently enjoy a 241.3 point scoring average increase compared to a 30-point national average gain (Source: The College Board). SATPG top 25% students enjoy a 390.6 point average increase. As a result, a plethora of scholarships have been earned by SATPG students.

What is your secret sauce?

We proudly utilize the following approaches that make up our leading SAT & ACT prep system:

- Building trusted relationships with parents and students

- Breaking down complicated information into understandable bites

- Introducing life skills and peak performance protocols that can be used in college (and beyond) to enhance success.

- Helping students achieve an optimal state for test taking

The SATPG Difference

  • We do not tutor.

You read that correctly. Typically a tutor goes over questions without any focus on the techniques, strategies, or shortcuts. In contrast, we review test questions from a completely different angle, allowing students to connect the dots and truly read between the lines in a way that works for them.

  • Dedicated coaches who care.

We wholeheartedly care about our students and want to see them succeed in all aspects of life. We create a unique rapport with students and parents that allows us to build trust and ultimately tap into essential areas of learning (with some fun along the way!).

Achieving test preparedness extends way beyond memorizing techniques and formulas. We believe it involves putting oneself in an optimal physical, mental, and emotional state of being.

Enter Peak Performance.

Peak Performance skills were developed by SAT Preparation Group to enhance students’ wellness and to help create mind-body connections including nutrition tips, mindfulness and meditation resources, exercise recommendations, and so much more.
