SAT SUMMER SEMINAR 2026
In-person | 15–26 June | Small group (max 15 students)
This focused, two-week SAT seminar in London is designed to give students a strong, structured start - building both essential skills and practical exam techniques long before test day. It is taught carefully in person to ensure clarity, paced learning, and meaningful interaction.
This is not a mass-market prep course. It is a small, thoughtfully taught programme for students who benefit from clear explanations, disciplined practice, and intentional confidence-building.
About the Seminar
This is a two-week, in-person SAT programme held in London from 15 to 26 June 2026, designed for students who want a structured foundation in both Math and English, supported by clear and practical exam strategies.
Students are taught to:
-
Strengthen core Math and English skills that recur throughout the SAT
-
Recognise common question patterns, traps, and how to avoid them
-
Use technology wisely and effectively during the exam
-
Manage time, pacing, and pressure under test conditions
The group is capped at 15 students to ensure individual attention and meaningful interaction.
Who This Seminar Is For
This seminar is a strong fit if:
• You are a rising junior planning to take the SAT during your junior year
• You want a structured, early start rather than last-minute cramming
• You are taking the SAT for the first time
• You want to strengthen fundamentals in both Math and English with clarity and confidence
This seminar is probably not a fit if:
• You already score around 1500+ and are pursuing highly specialised, marginal gains.

With over 30 years of teaching experience, including two decades at the American School in London, Doug is known for his clarity, calm approach, and focus on helping students genuinely understand the material rather than memorise it. His instruction emphasises secure understanding, confidence, and independent thinking.
Tony Bracht - Workshop Instructor
Tony contributes to workshop delivery through small-group instruction, guided practice, and individual clarification.
