The Power of One-on-One SAT Prep: A Parent’s Perspective
At Kente Academy, we often hear a common story from parents: “My child is bright, but the SAT is stressing them out—and I don’t know how to help.” Standardized tests can be a huge source of pressure for families, especially when college dreams and scholarships are on the line. That’s why we’ve designed our one-on-one SAT prep program to support not just students—but parents too.
A Personalized Roadmap for Success
No two students are the same, and neither are their SAT prep needs. Kente’s individualized approach ensures that every learner receives a tailored plan based on their strengths, weaknesses, and goals. For parents, this means peace of mind—knowing your child isn’t wasting time on one-size-fits-all materials or mass group classes that move too fast (or too slow).
Parents have told us that what made the biggest difference was how we:
• Pinpointed their child’s key areas for improvement through diagnostic testing
• Set weekly benchmarks and progress reports they could actually follow
• Helped students build not just test-taking skills, but test-taking confidence
Confidence That Stretches Beyond the SAT
It’s not uncommon for parents to share that SAT prep with Kente transformed more than just their teen’s test scores. One parent of a rising senior wrote:
“Before working with Kente, my daughter second-guessed every math question. Now she’s asking for more practice problems and thinking like a problem-solver. It’s been amazing to watch her shift from anxious to empowered.”
This transformation is intentional. Our tutors—many of whom are high-achieving STEM scholars themselves—coach students not just in how to solve problems, but how to manage time, tackle uncertainty, and stay calm under pressure. These are life skills that help well beyond testing day.
A Collaborative Process for Families
Parents are an essential part of the SAT journey. That’s why we include regular communication, optional family check-ins, and detailed updates throughout the prep timeline. If something isn’t working, we adjust. If a student is ready to move ahead faster, we advance. You’re never left in the dark.
Many parents have said this was the first academic program where they felt truly included—and valued—as part of the learning team.
The Results Speak for Themselves
Kente Academy students consistently see significant score increases across all sections of the SAT, with many jumping 100+ points after just a few months of focused prep. But what parents value most is that their child finishes the process more prepared, more confident, and more self-assured.
