How it works

Four steps. The first one is free.

  1. The Diagnostic: a written read of where the points are going.

  2. The Roadmap: the moves to close, in the order they cost points.

  3. The sessions: 50 minutes, one-on-one over Zoom, every one with Sensei Jay.

  4. The update: what closed and what is next, every week.

Sample update

One week, on paper.

Sample for illustration. Not a real student. Individual results vary.

Plans

Three ways in.

Sharpen

For the student who is already close, with a test date set. We find the moves still costing points and close them first.

Build

For a real gap and a term to close it. The Roadmap is rebuilt as the score moves.

Command

For a large gap or an early start. More ground covered, and habits that hold all the way to test day.

Same Sensei and same Roadmap in every plan. Priced after the free Diagnostic.

Questions

Frequently asked.

What does it cost?

That depends on the plan, and the plan depends on the gap. The free Diagnostic sets both.

Why fifty minutes?

In Sensei Jay's experience, hard focus fades after about fifty minutes. So each session takes a few moves from the Roadmap and teaches them. It drills them, then ends on a fresh question the student has to win alone. The work between sessions is where the moves set.

Why a dojo?

Sensei Jay saw the SAT for what it is. It is a knowledge test, but also a game of moves. The same patterns come back every year, the way a martial art repeats its forms.

Can an app do this?

The way Sensei Jay sees it, AI can answer the question. It cannot see why this student keeps missing it. That is the difference between an app and a Sensei.

What do we actually get?

A written Diagnostic showing exactly where the points are going. A plan built backward from the date you want to be done. Every session taught by Sensei Jay himself. A written progress update every week, so nobody has to ask.

When should we start?

Pick the sitting you want to be your last, then count back. Start with enough runway and the plan has a backup date built in. The free Diagnostic sets the date.
