The SAT Prep Course That’s Giving Students More Than a Score—Just Ask This Student (or Her 200-Point Jump)

Challenge
Before joining Prep Expert®, Lana Koussayer felt overwhelmed by SAT prep. The pressure was high, and simply memorizing content wasn’t cutting it. She needed a better strategy, something smarter, clearer, and more confidence-building.
“I wanted a smarter strategy, a clear structure, and the confidence to walk into my exam knowing exactly what to do.”
Solution
Lana enrolled in Prep Expert® and was paired with instructor Shefali Sanwal, who immediately changed the game.
“From the very first class, Shefali made the material feel way less overwhelming. She explained things so clearly and with so much patience.”
Shefali’s teaching approach included:
- Clear, patient breakdowns of challenging topics
- Real-time Q&A, ensuring no student was left behind
- A focus on understanding, not just memorization
“It never felt like we were just memorizing things. I loved how she made sure we really understood the strategies.”
The supportive structure helped Lana not only grasp the content, it helped her believe in herself.
Results
Lana applied Prep Expert®’s strategies and saw a dramatic transformation in just one practice test:
✅ +200 points on her SAT practice test
✅ A powerful boost in self-confidence and motivation
✅ A deep understanding of the material, not surface-level shortcuts
“My practice test score went up by 200 points compared to my previous official SAT. That was a huge improvement for me and gave me the motivation I needed to keep pushing.”
Recommendation
“The course gave me structure, support, and real results , and Shefali truly made all the difference.”
Lana went from overwhelmed to empowered, and she now recommends Prep Expert® to anyone who wants to walk into the SAT with confidence.
“I would recommend this class to anyone who wants to feel confident walking into the SAT.”
