Elite Digital SAT Tutoring in Needham & Wellesley
Moody Prep provides students in Needham, Wellesley, Dover, and online with a dynamic, personalized approach to mastering the Digital SAT and PSAT.
Taught by the tutor who built the Moody Prep SAT platformI didn't just master the Digital SAT. I built a platform for it.
I'm a software engineer as well as a tutor. For over two years I've been building Moody Prep, a full SAT prep platform for students and tutors anywhere. Everything I've learned from years of tutoring is built into it, and my students use it throughout their prep.
It's in active development and gets better every week.

I tutor SAT only, and I do it best.
Focusing exclusively on the SAT and PSAT allows for a depth of expertise that general tutoring services simply cannot match. The SAT isn't an IQ test; it's a test of preparedness. I don't just teach the material, I teach the test itself: its format, its traps, and every recent change, so your student is ready for exactly what they'll see on test day.
New Format, New Strategies
The transition to the Digital SAT means the old strategies aren't enough. We focus on the adaptive nature of the test, mastering the new question types across both Reading/Writing and Math, and leveraging the Desmos calculator for maximum efficiency.
Optimized and Personalized Approach
No "cookie-cutter" curriculum. Every student has unique strengths and bottlenecks, so I build a custom roadmap for every individual. By continuously assessing progress and targeting the specific strategies where you stand to gain the most points, we maximize your score growth in the shortest possible time.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my student start preparing?
Most students benefit from starting 3-4 months before their target test date. This allows for consistent, manageable prep without the stress of cramming.
How many sessions are typically needed?
While it varies based on the goal and starting point, most students see significant progress with 10-15 sessions over the course of a few months.
Where do in-person sessions take place?
I primarily meet students at local libraries or their homes in Needham, Wellesley, Dover, and surrounding towns (including Newton, Westwood, Dedham, Medfield, Sherborn, Natick, and more). Online sessions are also available for maximum flexibility.
How does the Moody Prep platform fit into tutoring?
Every student I tutor uses it between sessions. It shows me exactly which concepts they're missing, so our time together goes to whatever will move their score the most. The platform does the drilling and tracking; I do the teaching and coaching.
Do you provide practice materials?
Yes. Diagnostic tests, homework assignments, and strategy guides are all included, along with full access to the Moody Prep platform.
