Walker Prep is a boutique SAT Reading & Writing tutoring practice serving academically ambitious students preparing for elite university admissions.
Scoring in the 700–800 range on SAT Reading & Writing requires more than “tips and tricks.” From Cross-Examiner's Toolbox analysis to deft sentence-simplification techniques, Walker Prep teaches systematic strategies that align with the unique design of each question type.
Missed questions themselves only tell half the story. The most helpful insights are gleaned from dialogue between teacher and student.
At the top of the scale, significant score gains come not from generic advice but from systematic skill development that is targeted and tailored.
Subject-matter knowledge matters, especially on the SAT Writing section. Getting students quickly up to speed on grammar and rhetoric fundamentals is critical for success.

We were very happy to find Dave as a mentor for our daughter. The score improvement was beyond our expectations. The techniques Dave taught helped our daughter a lot. We have tried several others, but Dave is unique.
Dave's focus is on removing all subjectivity associated with SAT Reading and treating it as a factual science. He breaks down the English portion into sections with an exact way to solve each answer — the resources and tools to solve seemingly ‘subjective’ questions analytically.
