Introduction

I enjoy seeing students learn that test-taking is much easier when they become better prepared through better strategies and thorough review. Also, I like to see students be able to truly do their best. I excel at diagnosing and addressing what is keeping students from scoring their best. Most of our students improve their SAT or ACT score when they learn better ways to approach the tests. The majority of our GRE, GMAT, and LSAT students improve their scores significantly as well. Our students increase an average of 166 points on the SAT, and around 90% improve their SAT score by at least 100 points. Many improve by more than 200 points. On the ACT, most of our students improve by around 4-6 points. Available mornings, afternoons, evenings, even weekends. Contact us for specific times. Current offer: $100 off SAT or ACT Class(applies to our small group classes)

Knowledge Guides is outstanding for SAT preparation. The owner James Pipken has a complete mastery of what it takes to succeed on college entrance exams. My sons score has increased over 200 points in just a few weeks. There is no better investment to ensure your student earns acceptance and scholarships to the school of their choice than to excel on the SAT/ACT. I highly recommend Knowledge Guides to help your student achieve their full potential.

James is the gold standard for assisting your child with preparation for the PSAT and SAT. He works hard, and is organized, patient, and encouraging. He is also easy to communicate with (for parents and children). Our child improved her score substantially, which will give her a real opportunity to be admitted into the university she has focused on attending. We are so very thankful for his help.

James helped our daughter improve her score almost 100 points and was accepted at a highly competitive school which was her 1st choice! His individualized approach to emphasize her strengths and target her weak areas for improvement were on target. We are very pleased and highly recommend Knowledge Guides!

Phenomenal results! After a few private and group lessons our son increased his SAT score by 180 points! Hell be able to get into his number one choice now James has a proven methodology and years of experience. Highly effective techniques and does not waste any time. Combination of the right SAT/ACT prep service and the students ownself-discipline can yield your desired result. Money well-spent. Highly recommended!
