Good resources

My instructor was Miguel Chivera. The resources that PrepExpert provided were extremely helpful, however, I wished we could have been able to interact with audio and video during the classes, instead of just chatting.

This course was very helpful. I had Miguel Chavira, and he was very helpful throughout the class. It offered my ample opportunities to practice, and the practice tests were very helpful. This course was very beneficial.

Excellent Instructor - Highly Recommended

My instructor was Taylor Trautwein and she was such an excellent instructor. She always helped us when we needed it and explained things in her own words instead of rereading the slides. My practice scores improved by 200 points by the end of the 4 Weeks PSAT course, and I believe it is because of her excellent instruction.

Thank you Prep Expert and Mr. Chavira

I want to sincerely thank Mr. Miguel Chavira for all his support in helping me improve my SAT score. When I first started, I had a score of 1100. With his guidance and clear teaching, I was able to raise it by a whopping 400 points to 1500. I truly couldn’t have done it without him. He made a huge difference in my learning and confidence, and I’m really grateful for everything he’s done.

I am a student who took a 6 week Prep…

I am a student who took a 6 week Prep Expert SAT course with Miguel Chavira. Not helpful at all. He explained in 3 hours Google/Word slides that I could have read out on my dashboard, and these were strategies that I found out myself taking the SAT such as crossing out wrong answer choices, using the answer to solve problems, and highlighting important things while asking yourself what you are looking for. I would not reccomend this scam and if you are looking for a 1600 SAT hire a tutor who knows what they are doing because I have had free tutors who are as good or better. Now I am left by myself to find out how to raise my 1330 SAT, which is probably through free Bluebook practice tests.

I was in Taylor Trautwein’s PSAT prep course

I was in Taylor Trautwein’s PSAT prep course and I loved it! She taught the classes in such an engaging but also professional way. She was able to mix in some of her own personal experiences and keep the chat and her class fun while we also learned, which is a really important trait as an instructor for young students.

Amazing PSAT experience!

The four week PSAT course is comprehensive. Each class is filled with a combination of interactive learning which arms the student with the resources they need to excel, and a series of mindset-changing tips that have revolutionized my study habits. I would highly recommend this course.

My experience with Prep Expert

My instructor was Miguel Chavira, I enjoyed the fact that he always made sure we had time to do everything for the class. Doing the assignments and still having time at the end to get to the homework. I also liked how he would offer information that has helped him personally and onepagers on the material easy to read and understand.

WORTH THE MONEY!!



Isabella Raicu and Ethan Moy are the more than qualified as instructors!! As someone who took the 6-week SAT course without any sort of experience with the SAT, Isabella Raicu and Ethan Moy helped me so much in the short time of 6-weeks. They both created such a welcoming environment by starting each class with a question of the day while also passing down much needed information and strategies of the SAT. I have noticed improvements with my time management during the test, and less test anxiety altogether. Seriously, if you are debating about taking this class, whether you’ve never taken the SAT, or are struggling with your score, I GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL SEE SOME SORT OF IMPROVEMENT!! IT IS WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY!!

Prep Expert Review

I had Isabella Raicu and Ethan Moy and they were awesome, they were always so willing to help and strengthened my knowledge of the SAT. I had about a 200 score increase and my favorite thing about the class was the impressive and amazing instructors and their ability to explain and help me understand each and every aspect of the SAT and the strategies along with the difficult questions.

Truly helped me improve and feel confident

My experience with Prep Expert was honestly amazing. I had Shefali Sanwal as my instructor and she made such a big difference in how I approached the SAT. She was patient, clear, and always made sure we actually understood the strategies. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed in class, and she always took time to answer questions and support us. I went from feeling stressed and unsure to actually feeling confident about the test. After following her tips and putting in the work, my practice test score went up by 200 points compared to the SAT I took before this course. That kind of improvement felt huge for me. I really appreciated how organized everything was and how focused the course was on real progress. I would absolutely recommend Prep Expert to anyone looking for results and an instructor who truly cares.

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect…

I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect going into my Prep Expert SAT class, but I’m so glad I signed up. From the very first session, the vibe was super supportive and motivating. My instructor was not only knowledgeable but also really engaging. They broke things down in a way that actually made sense, even the stuff I used to struggle with.

What made the biggest difference for me were the test-taking strategies. Like, I had no idea how much time I was wasting on certain questions until they taught us how to approach each section strategically. I especially improved in reading and I can honestly say I feel way more confident going into the SAT now.

It wasn’t just about memorizing formulas or vocab; it was about learning how the test thinks and that mindset shift changed everything for me. Also, the weekly schedule and assignments kept me on track, which I really appreciated.

If you’re thinking about taking an SAT prep course, do it. Prep Expert is worth it, and I’d 100% recommend it to anyone who wants real results without feeling like they’re drowning in test prep.

Prep Expert was a really helpful course…

Prep Expert was a really helpful course for me. My instructor was Stefani Sanwal, and she explained the strategies really clearly and made each class engaging. Before taking the course, my practice SAT score was a 1270, and after finishing it, my score improved to a 1510, which I was really happy about. I especially liked how the course focused on test-taking strategies and timing, which will make me feel much more confident on test day. Overall, I would definitely recommend Prep Expert and Ms. Sanwal to anyone looking to boost their score.

ACT weekend review

Ethan Moy was a great instructor, explained every strategy well and provided a lot of examples we could practice with. He taught in a really good pace and gave short breaks that I enjoyed. He also made it fun, relatable, and engaging with students.
