DOES YOUR CHILD NEED TO IMPROVE HIS OR HER STANDARDIZED SAT TEST SCORES?
ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A MASTER SAT TEST TUTOR IN THE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BAY AREA WHO REQUIRES NO HOMEWORK AND GUARANTEES RESULTS?
I can help. Working with high school students for over 18 years, I have developed a philosophy supported by skills and techniques proven to result in superb SAT Tutoring and ACT test results.
We all move through the world with a self-image that sets what we believe we are capable of. This self-image often under serves our potential because it has been formed by a hodge-podge of experiences, some encouraging and affirming, others anything but. The sense of self is malleable particularly in young people.
I work to expose their doubts and fears as more imagined than real and to convince them that they are much more capable than they realize. This serves the all-important self-image in a very powerful way. It not only results in vastly improved standardized scores but also recalibrates the belief in what’s possible.
As I work with my students, I never lose sight of my real objective. I may be helping them ace their standardized tests, but ultimately I am elevating more than just a score.
My program is not a traditional “one on one” tutoring situation. I have learned from my almost two decades of experience that there is a better and less painful way to prepare kids for these tests. Over the course of each 2-hour session, students meet with me for three private, one-on-one conferences (totaling about 20 minutes per student, each session),
The value of each 2 hour session is multi-faceted:
- 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 of time and money vary from student to student. Regardless of ability, students that complete the number of sessions we agree to upfront have a great chance of meeting or surpassing their test prep objectives.
TESTIMONIALS
Hi Michael, Sorry for this belated thank you letter. You helped my son Zachariah Zhang to improve his SAT score from 1890 to 2260 (super score is 2290). That had played an integral part in his college applications. He was accepted by New York University, University of Illinois in Urbana Campaign, University of Washington, Boston University and UC San Diego.He just started last month as a freshman at UCSD. He is very happy there (not just because of the beaches). And I am very happy for him. And we know that we have you to thank. Going to you is one of the best decision we have ever made. Best Regards, – Brenda Zhang
I had gone to two different tutoring agencies in the Bay Area that didn’t end up offering me nearly as many results as Mr. Test Prep did. I remembered being frustrated with my scores, wondering why they weren’t improving even when I put in the time and the work. Since my older brother loved Michael so much, I decided to try his curriculum. Michael truly changed the testing game for me. I was struggling in the science section of the ACT. He showed me how to take science and tackle it like a reading comprehension problem, making my score raise SEVEN POINTS in a matter of a few lessons. Additionally, he programmed many functions into my calculator that not only saved me an abundance of time on the test, but that I still use in my AP Calculus class this year. These were functions that no other testing agency had offered me. His amazing attitude, outgoing friendliness, and noticeable intellect made me not dread going to tutoring, as I once did prior to Mr. Test Prep. I walked out of this program with amazing ACT and SAT subject test scores, great study skills for my classes, and an amazing resource that I am excited to show to my little brother once he begins the testing process. It is truly a blessing to be able to apply to college and know you did the testing part right. – Luma Hamade, Palo Alto High School ‘2016, UC Santa Barbara ‘2020
I, like many other students, saw standardized tests as roadblocks on my path to academic success. That was before I met Mr. Romano. Romano has effectively taken something that is the source of stress for many high school kids across the Bay Area and made into something that is, dare I say it, enjoyable. His unconventional approach to test prep has made taking the ACT/SAT a fun challenge, rather than a burden (It also helped me score in the 99th percentile!). Though I am no longer attending sessions, I still apply the all-encompassing advice Mr Romano gave me, in my academic ventures and outside of the world of academia as well. There is no question that Michael Romano is the best at what he does. Therefore, he is an obvious choice for any students seeking test prep tutors. –Arsh Hoti James Logan High School 2019
I would recommend Michael Romano to every one of my friends and family. Mr. Test Prep taught me the most important skill in test-taking: confidence. When I started classes with him, I knew the math and grammar required for the SAT and ACT, but I wasn’t confident about my answers, leading me to perform worse. Michael not only taught me easier and faster methods of answering questions; he taught me intuition, how to identify and filter the right from wrong. Michael was able to improve my scores by leading me through the thinking process and mindset of the test, something that improved my score significantly. He also coached me on essay composition, how to express my thoughts clearly, a skill which continues to help me post-SAT. Thank you Mr. Test Prep!
