Frequently Asked Questions
How early should my student begin preparing for the SAT?
Building experience is a major factor in success with the SAT. We recommend preparing at least 3 months before taking the SAT.
Who are the primary instructors at the center?
Classes are led by native English speakers with extensive personal and professional experience in the U.S. higher education system.
Where is the center located?
We are conveniently located on Rokko Island, just minutes from Island Center Station or Kitaguchi Station.
Is the coaching limited only to SAT preparation?
While SAT preparation is our primary focus, we also provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support for early learners to build a strong foundation for future international success. We are also considering TOEFL and TOEIC instruction depending on the demand.
Does my child need any English experience to join EAL classes?
Not at all. Learners with no experience are welcome in our EAL1 class. However, we require the minimum age to be 6 years, as this class will be a classroom setting and not a daycare setting.
What happens if my learner needs to miss an SAT class?
We understand that sometimes things will happen. We are willing to offer a makeup class on Sundays at a mutually agreed time at no extra charge.
Do you offer a discount for returning students?
Absolutely! Near the end of course completion, you will receive an email with a discount offer that you may use if you wish to continue.
Are all of your crash courses exactly the same?
While the instruction is the same, the questions used will be different. This is to ensure that returning students get fresh practice.
How do you come up with your SAT questions?
We only use SAT questions that came from previous SAT exams. This ensures consistency in quality and difficulty.
Are you hiring?
Yes! We are always looking for native English speakers who can instruct EAL or SAT. We also have an internship program where high school students can assist instructors with classes.
