It came as no surprise to anyone at Elizabeth King Coaching when NACAC released a study claiming that the average student gains a meager 30 extra points after prepping for the SAT. Let’s put those 30 points in perspective: you usually only need 3 to 5 more correct answers to see a 30 point increase. That’s not that much to ask. So why weren’t we surprised by the results of the study?

Because we think most test prep companies stink.

And exactly who are we? Elizabeth King Coaching is a boutique private tutoring and test prep group based out of New York City that teaches students online. We’ve been working with families who believe in education and want the very best for their children, from New York to Palm Beach and Palm Springs to Toronto, for nearly a decade.

We’re a group of gifted teachers, writers, and general smarty-pants-types who believe in using test prep as a conduit for real learning. Each of us has been prepping students for years and we know these tests inside out. That means we use our time to not only significantly increase your SAT or ACT scores but also to teach material and critical thinking tactics that you can actually use in college. After all, isn’t that the point?

We invite you to:

• check out Elizabeth’s best-selling book Outsmarting the SAT
• meet Elizabeth and the Smart Tutors team to find the right tutor for you
• dig into the blog to see why we’re against guessing-based prep
• meet our Mental Toughness Coach and Olympic Gold Medalist Barbara Ann Cochran

At Elizabeth King Coaching, we’re committed to promoting solid academics, inspiring students to achieve their potential, and helping families maximize opportunities for their students. We’re glad you’re here.
