I had Miguel Chavira and he was an amazing instructor. He taught me so many ways to improve on the SAT in all aspects. Not only did he teach me concepts and strategies, he taught me life skills that I will use throughout the rest of my life. He taught more than just an SAT course, he helped learn a little bit about life that I did not know before. I saw almost a 100 point increase on my practice SATs and I could not be happier with myself. I loved this course and will hopefully do very well on the SAT with all of the hard work and preperation that I put in.

I was fortunate enough to recieve Miguel as an instructor, he has taught me alot not only about the SAT but also studying and general test taking strategies. At first I was very unsure about taking a prep class as they are fairly expensive but finally I was convinced to enroll in prepexpert's SAT program. Miguel explained everything thoroughly and answered all questions. Overall, I am glad i took prepexpert and ever more glad I got Miguel as my instructor.

My instructor was Miguel Chavira I personally thought he was a great instructor. He is very smart and intelligent and I feel as though I have leanred a lot about reading and writng and math from during this six week class. He is also very kind open to questions we have and can be a little funny sometimes here and there. I think the class has helped me trmeedously for studying for the SAT to the homeworks and practice test.

I thoroughly enjoyed every class. My teacher, Miguel Chavira, made it easy to pay attention and follow along. The ten minute break during every class was very useful to re-energize. The homework was an oppurtunity to pracitice the strategies we learned in class, it was often a good place to replicate test day or enviroment.

Miguel Chavira was a wonderful teacher! I have learned so much from this prep course and it has been such a wonderful experience!! Honestly, the homeowrk was stressufl in the very beginning... but about halway through I noticed that I wasn't struggling! I have much better time management skills and so much knowledge that I can apply not just to the SAT, but to school, college, and life in general. I'm so happy that I decided to take the Prep Expert course! Although I haven't taken my official SAT yet, I have seen an average of 390 point increase!! I feel so much more confident! Thank you Prep Expert and thank you Mr. Miguel Chavira!!!

My instructors were Miguel Chavira and Nirmal. I loved the schedule and the amount of homework, I felt like the course was organized very well with math on one day and reading and writing on the other. I liked that we had textbooks with notes that we could work along with as the class takes place. Compared to other attempts I have had on trying to improve my score on the SAT I loved that this course has an organized schedule with many strategies for every concept on the test. My highest SAT score before the course was 1450 but I feel confident that I can improve this score and hopefully get a score in the 1500s and prep expert and my teachers has made this possible for me. I had taken another SAT preparation course before Prep Expert and I did not feel as prepared for the test as I do now with this course, especially because there were not as many strategies and did not cover as many concepts as Prep Expert. Now that I have studied every question type in depth and know the strategies to answer them, I now feel very prepared and confident that I can improve my score.

The 8 week Capstone SAT Course with Mr. Miguel Chavira and Mr. Nirmal Karthik has provided me with a greeter understanding of the topics that I will be answering on the SAT. The lessons and practices we have done for the past weeks have helped me figure out what I need to work on. I have not currently taken the SAT but the practice test have made me feel prepared since my score is greater than the one I recieved on the PSAT. I like how the instructor explains the reading questions in great detail and presents other ways to solve the math questions. Overall I feel as though this course has greatly prepared me for the SAT.

I was apart of Miguel's class! He and his assistant Nirmal helped me understand what I should be looking for in the SAT questions. In addition, I learned what I should do the day of the SAT and received additional tips from him. Miguel went above and beyond to help my class, and I am grateful for being one of his students!

I had an incredible experience with Prep Expert. My instructors Miguel and Nirmal did a great job at making the course both informative and engaging. While the workload was challenging at times, it was incredibly rewarding, as I was able to improve my score by over 250 points in just a few weeks. One of my favorite parts of the course was how it made me feel like I belonged to a community of other students, each with the common goal of improving their score.

Miguel Chavira was my Prep Expert instructor, and throughout this informative journey, my SAT score on the practice tests has improved greatly (in the 700s for both Math and Reading SAT) and overall, made me so much more confident in my skills. I believe in my ability to keep on improving with the important tips I have learned during this course. I loved how every piece of information was taught with such care and detail, and how every question was heard and answered thoroughly. This course not only taught me so much about the SAT, but it also gave me a sense of community that signaled that I wasn't alone in this hard, self-improvement journey of mine.

My instructor, Miguel Chavira, and teaching assistant, Nirmal, really helped me navigate the challenges of my SAT journey. Their clear guidance and consistent support made a demanding course feel more manageable. Miguel’s structured approach helped break down complex topics, making them easier to understand, while Nirmal was always available to answer questions and provide helpful feedback. In the end I was able to recieve 1560 on my highest practice test (I am still awaiting my real test results), and I started with a 1360. Whenever I felt overwhelmed by the fast pace their patience and willingness to help kept me on track. Their dedication created an environment where I felt supported and motivated to do my best. This course pushed me to think critically and apply my knowledge in ways I hadn’t before, making it one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The fast pace and heavy workload required discipline, but with Miguel and Nirmal’s support, I was able to stay focused and improve my skills. Their mentorship helped me gain confidence, not just in the SAT but also in my ability to tackle difficult challenges.

My teachers were Mr. Miguel and Nirmal. I liked his tips and how he emphasized that we shouldn't assume in the reading section. I would say I improved so much in reading with those little tips. I value his comprise to our class and how he never gets tired of asking our questions. Even though he has already answered that question 100 times he will answer it again and with a good attitude. It is nice to see him as an example and how he shared with us that his initial score was a low one and his final score was a GREAT one. I want to be like that and I do see myself improving. Another thing that I also liked was his tips on mental health and the pressure that the test might cause. I always felt like it was a safe space with Mr. Miguel and believe me, I was never afraid of asking something. Even though I haven't taken my test yet I do feel like I am improving. For some practice tests I have taken my score has improved to 1410 and 1420. I know I am proud of myself for achieving this but I wouldn't have achieved this without Mr. Miguel. Thank you Mr. Miguel and thank you Prep Expert.

I was nervous at first when I took this SAT class, but after a few sessions with Miguel and Nirmal, my confidence grew. They taught amazingly and had excellent teaching skills. Thanks to them, my score increased, and I can now tackle problems much more easily than before. I also loved how they provided different techniques and tips to help us succeed.

I loved how Nirmal and Miguel were both very helpful in not only explaining the questions but also taught us HOW to take the SAT. It was a fun learning environment with both fun and experience that was very rewarding and valuable not only towards me but also my SAT score.

Nirmal and Miguel Chavira were so helpful and patient. I have not been so confident for the SAT than after this course. The best thing about this course is that they use real College Board questions rather than sub-par questions. I would recommend this course if you want a chance to do good on the SAT.
