SAT Prep That Doesn’t Feel Like Torture? Student Says This Course Made It Happen

Challenge
When Hasan Abid first approached SAT prep, he expected the worst; long, dull sessions and uninspired instruction.
“I expected this course to be dry and boring throughout.”
With so much riding on his SAT score, he needed more than rote drills. Hasan was looking for:
- Clear, well-structured lessons
- An instructor who cared
- A class environment he’d actually look forward to
Solution
Hasan enrolled in Prep Expert® and was paired with Kevin Parrish, the turning point in his prep journey.
“Kevin Parrish was such a great instructor. He made learning about the SAT so fun the whole way and never boring with his enthusiastic attitude.”
Kevin’s teaching style transformed prep into something Hasan enjoyed:
- Engaging lessons with high energy
- A fun, positive environment that made even tough topics approachable
- Patient, thorough explanations until concepts clicked
- Targeted help for tricky problems, revisiting them until mastery
“He always makes sure that the student understands why the correct answer is right and why their misconception is wrong, going over the problem as many times as necessary.”
Hasan went from dreading class to eagerly awaiting it.
“I was always looking forward to the next class and I felt like I was always learning so much.”
Results
After six weeks, Hasan had:
✅ Mastered challenging SAT material that once felt intimidating
✅ Rediscovered enthusiasm for learning, never a boring class
✅ Pinpointed and closed learning gaps with clarity and confidence
“Kevin Parrish has taught me even better than nearly any teacher I’ve had in the last several years.”
Recommendation
“I promise that if you decide to have Kevin Parrish as your instructor, there will never be a boring moment and you’ll constantly be learning about new things the whole way. You’ll also be lit up and feel excited to learn from Kevin Parrish’s positive demeanour and warm personality.”
Hasan wholeheartedly recommends Prep Expert®, and Kevin Parrish in particular, for anyone who wants to be inspired as well as prepared.
