Meet Your Instructor:
Steve Yavner, PhD
My students call me Dr. Steve.
With a PhD in Educational Technology and an MS in Psychology, I’ve spent over a decade helping students master the SAT, ACT, and PSAT.
My Philosophy: No two brains are alike.
Standardized tests aren't one-size-fits-all, so my coaching isn't either. I help students find the specific "formula" that works for their cognitive style. By combining a deep understanding of educational psychology with high-impact test strategies, we move beyond generic tricks to a fundamental mindset shift: beating the test at its own game.
The Result: Strategic Success
In a shifting admissions landscape where scores matter more than ever, my students don’t just learn content—they learn how to get the most correct answers in the least amount of time. Whether you're aiming for a top-tier university or looking to boost your scholarship potential, you can count on getting the best instruction to achieve your best results.
