About Us
At DOUBLE800, our entire focus is SAT, PSAT & SAT II test
preparation, offering live prep courses & individual tutoring in Tucson & Oro Valley,
Arizona; in greater Phoenix, with course locations in Scottsdale &
Glendale; in Austin, Texas; and in Long Island, New York.
Since our first prep class in Tucson in 2002,
when a perfect SAT score was "double 800," we have instructed more
than 1,100 college-bound high school students with
highly successful results. In fact, we believe the best way to
convey our SAT prep effectiveness is to list our clients'
statistics* and
testimonials.

Methods
Since all DOUBLE800 courses are owner-taught, parents and
students can ensure that their instruction is of the highest possible
level with unmatched expertise. By comparison, large, national prep
course companies experience high turnover of their SAT teachers, who
are typically part-time employees concentrating on their own career
paths.
Another key distinction of our prep
course, is the usage of actual College Board SAT* questions for
students’ practice tests. This is unequivocally the best method of
preparation, as students become more familiar and confident with real
SAT questions, patterns, solving techniques and anticipated score. In
contrast, our corporate counterparts invent and publish their own
synthetic SATs for test simulation and score prediction.
A final element of the DOUBLE800 program, is our realization that a large classroom is not the most
conducive environment for SAT preparation. Invariably a discrepancy
exists between students’ ability levels and it is impossible to
satisfy each class member’s needs. As such, we offer a unique method
of instruction:
Qualifications
Since DOUBLE800’s sole specialization is the SAT and PSAT, our
complete efforts are devoted to the mastery of these tests. The
founder and principal member of DOUBLE800, a foreign language
major and MBA graduate, was the primary SAT instructor for Kaplan
Tucson earning excellent reviews throughout his two-year employment.
These SAT assignments ranged from private tutoring with near-perfect
score candidates to classroom teaching of minority school students.
The second member of DOUBLE800 holds degrees in engineering,
computer science, in addition to an MBA. Prior to joining DOUBLE800,
he had extensive experience as an SAT and ACT private tutor. After
logging thousands of hours with hundreds of students and reviewing
tens of thousands of test questions, DOUBLE800
can assert its superiority as the premier SAT specialist in Arizona.
Expert Service and Substantial Savings --
DOUBLE800 is truly second to none.
