SAT and PSAT Course Review

  • My experience throughout the course fulfilled completely my expectations. Each of the tutors performs a very satisfying preparation. Their knowledge about the SAT and all the tips and recommendations they provided are completely accurate and helpful. I would recommend Empowered to students who are struggling in studying on their own and want to get the greatest possible score on their SAT.

    -Rafael Oviedo, La Estancia ‘25

  • "Empowered really helped me on all the things applying to college involved. My deepest gratitude to Empowered for the support provided throughout my SAT prep journey. Thanks to the dedicated coaches, I was able to significantly improve my score. Their attentiveness and commitment made all the difference."

    -Valeria Fajardo, El Buen Pastor

  • "This experience helped me a lot to learn strategies to take the SAT. This really gave me a plan to follow to prepare myself. I know that spending 2 hours after school sounds painful, but believe me, these really helped me a lot, and if I were to remember, these were the most effective hours I employed for something."

    -Santiago Ysaguirre, Macris

  • “I think each class was very helpful to me. I was able to learn new things I didn’t know of before, and I was also able to go over some things that I didn't know I needed more practice on. Each of the tutors make sure that you feel welcome and comfortable enough to make mistakes in order to get better at something. It really does help you learn important and helpful skills that make things easier for you. I highly recommend Empowered to the students who need a base for understanding more about the SAT and preparing for it.”

    -Isabella Juarez, Pinares '26

  • "I enjoyed the classes with Ana Lucía, she was kind and made me feel like the english part was easier than I thought. She also helped me improve my english grade from an 82% to a 98%. With María Teresa, even if I couldn't attend all the classes, and decided to move my test I still understood the topics and self studied whenever I didn't get a topic and that helped me to improve math from 74% to 97%. Empowered is for students who aren't sure of where to start with college applications. Don't overthink about what you can or can't do."

    -Samantha Zepeda, Honors Academy '26

  • "Empowered has helped me understand more about the PSAT, and I have learned a lot. Any question I had was responded to immediately. Interactions with the coaches were friendly and helped me in the best way possible with their patience and how they explained any question using concepts I could grasp and understand. I recommended Empowered to all my classmates who had any questions and doubts about the PSAT and will continue to do so for the rest of high school."

    -Eduardo Duron, ALP '24

  • “I had a great experience with Maria Fernanda. She was super supportive, and I learned so much from her. She really helped me improve in the areas I struggled with the most the first time I took the exam, and thanks to her, my results improved a lot. She’s an amazing tutor; patient, kind, and always willing to help. She took the time to get to know me and understand where I needed the most help, and her support made a huge difference. I’m really grateful for her guidance!”

    Alma Gonzalez, Universidad Católica de Honduras

  • "I came into this SAT course completely new to the exam, and I truly appreciated all the help and resources it offered. My tutors, Roberto and Ana Lucia, were incredibly supportive and patient—especially in the areas I struggled with. This course made the SAT feel far less overwhelming, and I strongly recommend it to any junior who, like me, feels lost at the start. If you're looking for a program that’s genuinely committed to your success, Empowered is the right choice."

    -Sophia Guifarro , Del Campo School

  • "I had an incredibly satisfying experience in my SAT course. I was provided with more than enough material to prepare effectively for the exam. The sessions were interactive and kept me engaged, always ready for the kinds of questions the tutors might ask.“

    -Mateo Ortega, Del Campo School

  • "I would say that working with Roberto was one of the best parts of my college application process. He always gave good feedback to where I needed to improve and helped along the way with any doubts. I would recommend Empowered to anyone who wants help with their SAT. If someone wants help with Math, Roberto knows exactly how to help."

    -Humberto Obando, AST

  • "Empowered gave me the push I didn’t know I needed. I came in feeling a bit lost in my direction, and walked away with real clarity and confidence. It wasn’t about hype or level motivation -it was practical, honest, and impactful. The experience helped me get out of my own way and actually start showing up for myself. I left feeling capable, focused, and more in control of where I’m headed."

    -Samuel Hernandez, Despertar Yoreño School
