I took the PrepExpert SAT course with Mr. Ilia Kolmagorov, and he was truly one of the best instructors I’ve had! He always started each class with breathing exercises, which helped everyone feel more focused and less stressed. His sense of humor and constant jokes made the sessions fun and engaging, even when we were covering difficult topics. Unlike other courses, he actually took the time to explain concepts thoroughly, making sure we fully understood instead of just memorizing tricks. His strategies and teaching style gave me a lot more confidence for the SAT, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an instructor who is both knowledgeable and supportive!

Ilia Kolmagorov was my instructor. I saw lots of improvements not only in my score but also in my focusing abilities after using his focus exercises and also in my high school math and english classes. I really enjoyed how kind he was and how helpful he was in answering all questions but also being funny and making jokes to keep us engaged and being just so encouraging. Overall this class was amazing and really helped to improve my score, which has gone up significantly on the practice tests, my reading comprehension, and my focus. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who asked.

My instructor was Ilia Kolmagorov and he was absolutely amazing. He was very engaging and captivating and was great at conveying the information. His tactics such as refocusing exercises, and using humor to help with memorization were very effective. So far my PSAT score has improved by 190 points with one more practice test to go. Aside from Mr. Kolmagorov’s own teaching methods, the content taught in the course was extremely helpful. There are numerous strategies that I have now fully adopted to my test taking skill set for the SAT or for other school tests. Strategies like BOSS (where you build your own solution to the problem), and types of words to look out for are incredibly useful. Additionally, the Hard Math Quizzes were very assistive in being ready for tricky questions and getting used to difficult math. I’m am definitely more of a math person so I really liked the math strategies but still am very grateful for the reading and writing one as well. The 50 different strategies we were taught helped me greatly improve my score for those sections. I would definitely say that this course is worth it and I am very thankful for the help it provided me.

Prep Expert has significantly improved my SAT score through its intensive and highly effective six-week flagship course! From the very first class, my instructor, Ilia Kolmogorov, made learning both engaging and enjoyable by incorporating humor while thoroughly explaining complex concepts. He was always patient and took the time to answer every question in great detail, ensuring that every student fully understood the material. Additionally, he provided consistent review sessions, reinforcing key strategies that proved to be incredibly valuable. Before enrolling in the course, my practice test scores hovered around 1300, but after applying the strategies taught in class, my scores skyrocketed into the 1560s! The techniques I learned didn’t just help me excel on the SAT—they also enhanced my overall academic performance, making me a more confident and strategic test-taker in school. I am beyond thrilled with my progress and the results I’ve achieved through Prep Expert. This experience has been truly transformative, and I know that the skills and strategies I’ve gained will continue to benefit me for years to come. I highly recommend Prep Expert to anyone looking to maximize their SAT scores and reach their full potential!

Prep Expert’s 6-Week SAT Course with Ilia Kolmagorov was one of the best investments I’ve made! I wasn’t dreading class like I expected—Ilia made learning engaging and broke down tough concepts into simple, effective strategies. The tips made a huge difference in my confidence and speed. The course was worth every penny especially if you want real results without boring lectures.

My instructor Illia Kolmagorov was very helpful during this review class. His plans were well structured and never changed which helped me stay focused. I was able to go over the questions I was confused on while learning beneficial strategies. Illia also helped the class stay focused by doing breathing exercising which personally helped me with my own stress and anxiety. I am very grateful I took this class because my grade increased from a 1090 to a 1350 in just 6 weeks. The tools I learned have truly been proved to be helpful for students like me.

Ilia was great throughout the entire course. He made us all laugh with his jokes and amicable personality. (The signature different colored collared shirt such as peach and lemon sorbet always brought smiles to all of our faces when we joined the class). Academically, furthermore, Ilia explained each and every Prep-Expert strategy with such precision. He would wait and make sure that each and every person in the class fully understood the topic at hand before moving on (even though there were about 50 of us). All in all, my score personally went up by about 130 points from a 1220 to a 1350 and I can’t thank Ilia enough for helping me. Thank you Ilia, truly. 🙏❤️

I had Ilia Kolmagorov as my instructor and I really enjoyed the course. It provides various helpful kinds of material including Shaan Patel's books, linear non-timed modules, timed practice tests (that are adaptive and as hard as the actual college board SAT), and hard math quizzes. All of these things make it so that no matter what you are looking for, Prep Expert will help you improve. I learned so many strategies from this course and I think it taught me exactly how to think when solving SAT problems. The instructor was genuinely really funny and enjoyable. Before the course, I got 1310 on my SAT, and so far I have been getting 1410 - 1460 on the Prep Expert practice tests. Prep Expert is also super responsive and immediately will solve any problems with the website with a quick live chat message.

Before taking the Prep Expert SAT class, I studied for the exam alone and took it, and I ended up unhappy with my score. Taking the class helped push me to dedicate time to study for the SAT, and I feel a lot more confident to take it now. My first official SAT score was 1430; I have scored above 1560 on my last several practice tests. The strategies I learned were nothing groundbreaking, but I have seen a vast increase in my score by consciously applying them. Additionally, the resources provided by Prep Expert are excellent and exactly what I wish I had access to when I began my SAT journey. My instructor, Dr. Ilia Kolmagorov, was hilarious, and I often found myself chuckling at his jokes and references. I love how engaging the class was, and I have learned so much thanks to Dr. Kolmagorov and Prep Expert!

This course has helped me to improve significantly! My instructor was Ilia Kolmagorov. He was very helpful and a great teacher! He gave thorough explanations and encouraged students to ask questions. From the first time I took the PSAT 8/9 to my most recent practice test, I have improved by around 300 points. All of the practice that Prep Expert provides is incredibly helpful. I also liked the pace of the class and my instructor kept the class engaged. I would highly recommend Prep Expert to anyone who is looking for structured SAT learning and preparing class.

I was very lucky to have my instructor be Ilia Kolmagorov for the 6-week course. Before taking this course, I was struggling with understanding what I should study to improve my score. I was very anxious because on the internet everyone tells yo to do something different. Upon enrolling in this course, the first thing I noticed was how my instructor did a good job of keeping everyone engaged. He would crack jokes and make it more of a fun thing to look forward to. The course overall is very well structured and having due dates made it easier for me to plan my studying for the week. I have noticed the biggest improvement in my reading and writing score due to the stratergies provided throughout the course. When I took the full length adaptive test after the first full week of courses, I was pleasently suprised that my score was already higher than any score I had gotten taken the PSAT. It was a big confident boost that helped drive me to continue to work hard in this course. I would reccemond that people sign up for this but it's good to remember that you will only get as much out of it as you put into it. Thank you Ilia Kolmagorov and Prep Expert for everything!

Ilia Kolmagorov was my instructor, and he was great! He explained how to solve questions very thoroughly and eliminated any confusion I had for challenging problems. He also cracked a lot of jokes every session to engage us and make us laugh while going over problems, which I appreciated a lot. With his help, I went from a 1420 to a 1570 on the practice tests, which is huge. I’m not not nervous at all to take the SAT next month. This course was honestly a lot of fun and would definitely recommend it to anyone trying to get a good SAT score.
