How One Tutor Made SAT Prep Fun (Yes, Really) and Took This Student to the Next Level

Challenge

Hasan Abid came to Prep Expert® expecting a standard, maybe even dry SAT prep course. What he found instead was something entirely different, a class led by Kevin Parrish, whose energy and teaching style changed the entire experience.

“I expected this course to be dry and boring throughout, but never at a single moment was it like that with Kevin Parrish as my instructor.”

Hasan needed more than just SAT content. He needed motivation, clarity, and someone who could make the process feel less like a chore, and more like progress.

Solution

Kevin Parrish delivered that and more.

“He made learning about the SAT so fun the whole way and never boring with his enthusiastic attitude.”

Kevin’s approach included:

• Keeping the energy high and the sessions engaging
• Breaking down wrong answers with patience and clarity
• Going over questions as many times as necessary
• Encouraging students to participate, stay curious, and never feel left behind

“He always makes sure that the student understands why the correct answer is right and why their misconception is wrong.”

Hasan credits Kevin with being one of the best instructors he’s ever had, not just for SAT prep, but in all his years of school.

“Kevin Parrish has taught me even better than nearly any teacher I’ve had in the last several years.”

Results

By the end of the 6-week course, Hasan had:

✅ A dramatically improved understanding of the SAT
✅ A new level of excitement about learning
✅ Consistent engagement and motivation in class
✅ Clear test strategies that actually stuck
✅ A recommendation for anyone feeling lost in SAT prep

Recommendation

“There will never be a boring moment and you’ll constantly be learning about new things the whole way.”

“It was a great experience having Kevin Parrish as my instructor. I highly recommend it to anyone… his course would no doubt help anyone struggling with the SAT improve their score by a lot.”

For Hasan, SAT prep didn’t just get easier, it became something to look forward to.
