GRIFFIN SAT: A Complete Course On Acing the SAT
GRIFFIN SAT: A Complete Course On Acing the SAT
Welcome to Griffin SAT!
This is a complete course in the Math, Critical Reading, and Writing sections of the SAT. It is a condensed and comprehensive course—and these qualities constitute its real value. Yes, there are many places you could go to look for SAT study material, but here I have condensed a decade's worth of experience tutoring the SAT into a single 24 video course that covers EVERYTHING.
Our motto is "24 Videos To a 2400!" Or at least, "24 Videos Towards a 2400!"
I know how valuable your time is. I tutor high school kids day in and day out. I know how much devotion and time and energy it takes to sit and watch a video, let alone 24 of them, so I have made this video course as streamlined and thorough as possible.
The class can be taken as one's primary course of study for preparing for the SAT or it can perfectly complement one's outside work with a private tutor or an in-class SAT course. You could take the course over a month or so (or even less), or you could stretch it out over several months. You could also take the course twice!
The course is taught by me, Paul Griffin (Princeton '01), a full-time tutor and web educator with ten years of experience tutoring the SAT for ambitious New York City private school students. I have helped my students gain admittance to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, Amherst, Duke, Wash U, Dartmouth, Stanford, and many other top tier universities. I know the game well! You are in good hands!
Here is the structure and basic content of the course:
