Private SAT and ACT Coaching

Test prep, rebuilt around the student.

A coaching agency for students aiming at top universities and scholarship outcomes. Built one student at a time. No group curriculum, no one-size-fits-all track.

By application only. Limited 2026 enrollments.
Our Methodology

Diagnostic coaching, engineered around each student.

Our team starts with a full diagnostic, identifies the exact patterns costing a student the most points, and rebuilds performance from those leverage points outward. Faster gains, less wasted time, and a roadmap students actually follow.

i.

Diagnose

Full-length diagnostic with error-pattern analysis. Every wrong answer categorized as content gap, strategy gap, timing gap, or process error. The roadmap starts where the leverage actually is.

ii.

Prioritize

A weekly priority list ranked by point impact. Students work on what moves the score, in the order that compounds fastest. No wasted reps on areas that do not change the outcome.

iii.

Iterate

Performance is reviewed weekly. The plan adjusts as the student improves. Nothing static, nothing generic. The program built in week one is not the program running in week eight.

iv.

Report

Parents receive clear, specific updates. No vague reassurance. Real numbers, real work, real progress. You will know exactly where your student stands and what is happening next.

About Elevate

An agency built on a system, not a tutor on a hourly rate.

Elevate Academy was founded by Shad, an expert on the test who has helped dozens of students jump 5 or more points using a proprietary diagnostic system in the last two years alone. The company was built to bring precision and structure to a category long dominated by generic group classes and unstructured weekly tutoring.

Capacity is intentionally limited. Each student is matched to a coach who fits their starting point and goals, with a roadmap built specifically for them. There is no shared curriculum, and no student is treated like a number.

Who We Work With

Selective by design.

We work with students preparing for the SAT or ACT who are serious about the outcome. Programs are built individually around each student. There is no group curriculum and no one-size-fits-all track.

  • Students breaking into the 20s for the first time.
  • Students chasing scholarship thresholds.
  • Students competing for admission to top universities.
  • Students aiming at a perfect composite.
