About the course

What students learn

SAT Math prep for 9th–11th graders aiming at competitive colleges. We focus on the four Digital SAT content categories — Heart of Algebra, Problem Solving and Data Analysis, Passport to Advanced Math, and Additional Topics — with section-timed practice and pace discipline. Adaptive testing strategy is built into every meeting.

A typical class

Sample class format · 120 minutes

Every SAT Math class follows the same structure so students walk in knowing what to expect and walk out with a corrected mini-quiz in hand.

0:00 – 0:30
30 min

Puzzles & Enigmas

Warm-up with logic puzzles, math riddles, and short brain-teaser problems. The point is to switch the brain on without yet introducing today’s topic — students arrive at different focus levels and this 30-minute block evens the room.

0:30 – 1:00
30 min

Subject — concept & guided practice

First half of today’s topic. One Digital SAT topic per meeting — linear systems, advanced algebra, problem-solving and data, or additional topics in geometry/trig. Concept-first: the instructor demonstrates one or two worked examples, then students try guided practice with the teacher walking the table.

1:00 – 1:05
5 min

Brain break

A short break — water, stretch, a quick chat. Five minutes is enough to reset focus without losing the rhythm of the class.

1:05 – 1:30
25 min

Subject — word problems & applications

Second half of the topic, focused on word problems, abstraction, and math applied to real situations — the place where rote knowledge turns into real understanding. Examples we use: Reading a real Digital SAT-style data set and computing the correct statistic under timing.; Modeling exponential growth in a savings account question.; Decoding wordy SAT geometry problems — strip the words, keep the picture..

1:30 – 2:00
30 min

Mini-quiz — corrected in class

A short timed mini-quiz on today’s topic, then we correct it together — question by question, out loud, with the right strategy spelled out for each item. Parents get the corrected paper at the end of the session so they know exactly where their child stands.

Frequently asked

Common questions from parents

How large are SOMATH classes?

Every SOMATH class is capped at 6 students. That is the number that lets one teacher see every student's work in real time, correct silent mistakes before they become habits, and pace to the room instead of the average. Larger groups defeat the whole point of small-group teaching, so we hold the cap firmly.

Where do classes meet?

In person at 226 W 79th Street, 1st Floor, New York, NY 10024 — one block from the 79th Street 1 train and a short walk from the B and C at 81st Street. We do not offer online classes; the small-group model relies on shared whiteboard work and in-room feedback.

What is included in registration?

$99 one-time registration covers a placement test, a written diagnostic, and a personalized learning plan delivered within 48 hours. Workbooks, problem sets, and printed practice tests are included at no extra charge. The $99 registration is separate from monthly tuition.

Can we pause or cancel?

Yes. Cancel anytime with 15 days written notice — no long-term contract. Up to 4 weeks of free pause per year to cover travel or family events, and one free make-up per month for a missed class (subject to available seats in another cohort).

Do you offer a free trial or evaluation?

Yes. Every new family starts with a free 60-minute evaluation in our classroom plus a written diagnostic delivered within 48 hours. There is no charge and no commitment — the diagnostic is yours to keep whether you enroll or not. Book at schoolofmath.us/evaluation or call (646) 668-6151.

Do you prepare for the Digital SAT?

Yes. The course is built for the Digital SAT format — adaptive test structure, on-screen tools, and the new math content mix. We use College Board Bluebook practice tests weekly and teach the calculator (Desmos) fluency the Digital SAT rewards.
