Online SAT Test Prep Tutoring – Los Altos CA

 

Does your child need to improve their scores on standardized SAT tests?

Are you looking for an experienced online SAT test tutor in the Northern California Bay area who focuses on building his students confidence, does not require homework and guarantees results?

 

I can help. With over 25 years of experience working with high school students, I have developed a unique tutoring approach grounded in proven skills and techniques that consistently lead to successful SAT tutoring and test outcomes.

 

Building my student’s confidence

Each of us carries a self-image that shapes our perception of our own capabilities. This self-image is often limited by a combination of life experiences, some supportive and affirming, while others less so. Particularly in young individuals, this self-concept is constantly changing..

My approach involves dispelling my students’ doubts and fears, revealing them as largely unfounded, and persuading them of their untapped potential. This approach impacts their self-image in a way that it not only significantly improves standardized scores but also in a renewed belief in what they can achieve in life generally.

Throughout my work with students, I maintain a clear focus on my ultimate objective: While I may be assisting them in excelling on standardized tests, my true goal is to elevate more than just a score.

My program is not a conventional “one-on-one” tutoring approach. Drawing from my extensive tutoring experience spanning over two decades, I’ve discovered a more effective and less painful method for preparing students for these tests. In each 2-hour session, students engage in three private, one-on-one conferences with me, totaling approximately 20 minutes per student per session.

 

The value of each 2-hour session is multifaceted:

  • Self-timed sections in a group environment similar to the actual testing environment
  • Immediate correction of mistakes and tutoring to specific content or errors
  • Test taking strategies given as they arise during test taking, making them more relevant and easier to remember and apply
  • Confidence building with every interaction
  • Session by session readjustment of areas of focus based on observable progress

 

Investments in both time and money may vary among students. However, regardless of their starting point, students who complete the predetermined number of sessions we agree upon have a strong likelihood of not only meeting but also surpassing their test preparation goals.

 

 

 

 

 

Testimonials

 

“Michael helped me move forward in a confusing and anxiety ridden point in my life. Not only that, he helped me find the best way forward when I didn’t even know where I wanted to go. Despite my unique case and circumstances, Michael adapted and guided me on the best way to tackle the SAT/ACT. Better yet, he went above and beyond, helping me request the accommodations I needed. Michael’s tutoring process was challenging but effective, and looking back, I’m truly grateful for the help I got. I didn’t just get the scores I wanted/needed, I actually exceeded them, surpassing my own expectations. Finally, Michael referred me to a college advisor who helped me find the college I wanted to go to.”

Dylan Weathers – Palo Alto High School ’22 – Chapman University ’26

 

“Mr. Test Prep, Michael Romano, describes himself as making a “genuine connection with each student”. That’s truly what makes him special. He really ‘gets’ his students. He’s so cool he even hit the basketball court with my son and his friends! This chemistry enabled Michael to be both encouraging and direct with my student, like the best kind of coach. Michael set high but achievable goals, and nudged my student forward when he saw more potential. My son began working with Michael in the fall of 11th grade, prior to the junior year PSAT. As a result of that early practice and confidence building with Michael, my son received a high enough score on his PSAT to qualify as a National Merit Scholar Finalist. His top 1% PSAT test scores, followed by high ACT scores, absolutely and measurably opened college doors for my son. We appreciated that Michael had our son try both the SAT and ACT, and actually take both the SAT and ACT exams. Michael has been doing this long enough to have a data centered approach as to why he has students try both tests; he knows what he’s doing. Ultimately, my son was accepted to his dream school UCLA.”

“Working with Michael was probably the best decision I made in my college preparation process. While many of my friends were stressed out with homework and impersonal tutoring at other test prep sites, Michael helped me improve only what I needed to improve, with no homework to add on to the already stressful year at school. Michael teaches you how to think on the tests, and gives you confidence going into them, which I think is crucial to success. He helped me greatly, and it is definitely worth the price.”
