Ethan
Given his status as an Eagle Scout, it's only understandable that Ethan has a passion for helping students "always be prepared" for their next high stakes exam. After all, that philosophy earned him a 1550 on the SAT and perfect 5 on eleven AP exams, and continues to serve him well as a Presidential Scholarship winner at the University of Florida and as a Varsity Tutors instructor.
The SAT Math 1-Week Bootcamp is an intensive, fast-paced course designed to help high school juniors and seniors dramatically sharpen their math skills and test-taking confidence before exam day. Over five focused sessions, students tackle every major SAT Math domain — from linear equations and systems of equations to polynomials, quadratics, data analysis, and coordinate geometry — all through the lens of real SAT question types. Along the way, students learn smart strategies like process of elimination, question deconstruction, and time management so they can perform under pressure, not just in practice. Whether you're picking up the SAT for the first time or grinding for a higher score, this bootcamp meets you where you are and pushes you further. One week, every topic that matters, and the tools to actually use what you know on test day.
A Full-Spectrum SAT Math Crash Course — In Just One Week
If your SAT is coming up fast and you want to make every study hour count, the SAT Math 1-Week Bootcamp delivers. This course compresses the full SAT Math curriculum into five focused, high-energy sessions that cover every tested domain — algebra, data analysis, advanced math, and geometry — while building the strategic instincts that separate good scorers from great ones. It's designed for juniors and seniors at any starting point, whether you haven't cracked a math textbook in months or you're targeting an 800.
Algebra and Problem Solving — The Foundation
The bootcamp opens with the topics that dominate the SAT Math section: linear equations, inequalities, and systems of equations. Students practice solving multi-variable problems using both elimination and substitution, learn to recognize equations in standard form, and work through the kinds of word problems the SAT loves to wrap around these concepts. From there, the course moves into ratios, proportions, and percentages — including percentage increase and decrease — with a focus on translating real-world scenarios into solvable equations quickly and accurately.
Data Analysis — Reading What the SAT Gives You
A significant portion of SAT Math asks students to extract meaning from data, and this bootcamp trains exactly that skill. Students learn to read tables, charts, and graphs with precision, calculate measures of central tendency (mean, median, and mode), and interpret what those numbers actually tell you about a distribution. Understanding center, spread, and shape of data isn't just a math skill here — it's a point-scoring strategy.
Advanced Math — Polynomials, Quadratics, and Functions
The course dives into the higher-difficulty material that trips up most students: polynomial operations, function notation, and quadratic equations. Students practice identifying the degree and standard form of polynomials, simplifying complex expressions, and solving quadratics using the quadratic formula. Function behavior — what happens when you plug in values, shift a graph, or compose two functions — is tackled with the specific SAT question formats in mind, so students aren't just learning concepts but learning how the test will ask about them.
Geometry and Trigonometry — Shapes, Coordinates, and Right Triangles
The final math domain covered is geometry, from calculating area, perimeter, and volume of standard shapes to applying trigonometric ratios in right triangle problems. Students work with sine, cosine, and tangent in the context of SAT-style questions, practice coordinate geometry on the xy-plane, and tackle 3D geometry problems that require spatial reasoning. The SAT provides a formula sheet, but this course ensures students know when and how to use it — and which formulas they should have memorized cold.
Test Strategy — The Edge That Changes Your Score
Math skill alone doesn't maximize your SAT score — strategic thinking does. Throughout the bootcamp, students build a toolkit of test-taking techniques: deconstructing multi-step problems into clear solution paths, using process of elimination on tricky multiple-choice questions, managing time so no section runs away from them, and analyzing their own error patterns to stop making the same mistakes twice. Students also develop calculator fluency — knowing which problems are faster by hand and which warrant the extra computation power — so they're never slowed down by a tool that's supposed to help them.
