Two exams. Two levels. Never mixed.
The SAT and the EST are different exams. They have different syllabi, different question styles and different timing — so they are taught as two entirely separate programs, with their own materials and their own mock exams. Within each exam, the level is decided by a diagnostic assessment rather than by preference.
Step one
Choose the exam, then the level
Each track below carries its own syllabus, materials and mock exams. Open a level to see exactly what it covers and what is included.
SAT Math
SATFor students applying to universities that accept the SAT. Two levels, taught around the digital SAT’s adaptive format, its four content domains and its question style.
Level
Basic
Build the foundation the whole section rests on.
A complete rebuild of the core Math the SAT actually tests. Every topic starts from the concept, is practised until it is automatic, and is measured before the course moves on. This is the track for a student who needs the fundamentals to be solid before speed and strategy mean anything.
- Duration
- 12 weeks
- Sessions
- 24 sessions
Level
Advanced
Raise the ceiling on a foundation that already holds.
For students whose fundamentals are secure and whose remaining points are sitting in the hardest third of the section. The focus moves to multi-step problems, unfamiliar wording, trap answers, pacing and the strategy decisions that separate a good score from a top one.
- Duration
- 10 weeks
- Sessions
- 20 sessions
EST Math
ESTFor students taking the EST for admission in Egypt and the region. Two levels, taught around the EST Math section’s own syllabus, wording and timing — never adapted from SAT material.
Level
Basic
A foundation built specifically for the EST Math section.
A complete foundation course built around the EST Math section and its own question style. The EST is not the SAT, and it is not taught here as if it were: the syllabus, the wording, the pacing and the practice material are all EST-specific.
- Duration
- 12 weeks
- Sessions
- 24 sessions
Level
Advanced
Higher-level EST Math, timing and strategy.
For students whose EST foundation is already secure. Difficulty rises to the top of the section, timing is trained deliberately, and full-length mocks turn a good score into a stable one. Suitable for students targeting a high EST I Math score or preparing further in Math.
- Duration
- 10 weeks
- Sessions
- 20 sessions
Choosing a level
Basic or Advanced is a diagnostic decision
Not a preference, and not a matter of confidence. The assessment shows topic by topic what is already secure, and the level follows from that. Starting one level too high is the most common way a preparation year is wasted.
Build the foundation the whole section rests on
For students whose diagnostic shows gaps in core skills, or who are starting preparation for the first time. Every topic begins from the concept and is practised until it is automatic.
- Full syllabus coverage from the ground up
- Concept-first teaching, then practice
- Two full-length mock exams
- Prepares for the Advanced level
Raise the ceiling on a foundation that already holds
For students whose fundamentals are secure and whose remaining points sit in the hardest questions. Difficulty, timing and strategy all rise deliberately.
- Multi-step and unfamiliar question types
- Pacing and section strategy trained
- Four full-length mock exams
- Score stability rather than one good result
A student can move from Basic to Advanced mid-program when quiz and mock results support it. Read more about how that decision is made in mentoring & advising.

Common questions
Before you choose
How do I know whether my child needs the Basic or the Advanced level?
The diagnostic assessment decides it, not preference. It shows topic by topic what is already secure and what is missing, and the recommended level follows from that. If the assessment shows a solid foundation, the student starts at Advanced. If not, starting at Basic saves time rather than costing it.
What is the difference between the SAT and the EST program?
They are two separate exams with different syllabi, question styles and timing, so they are taught as two completely separate programs. EST material is never adapted from SAT material — the practice sets, mocks and wording are specific to each exam.
How is progress measured?
Through attendance, homework completion, topic-scored quizzes, reviews and full-length mock exams. Every result is recorded, and the trend matters more than any single score. Both the student and the parent can see the same evidence.
Can you guarantee a specific score?
No — and any teacher who guarantees one should be treated carefully. What is committed to here is a structured process, honest measurement, early identification of weaknesses, real exam simulation, and clear feedback at every stage. Scores follow from that work.
What happens if my child falls behind?
It is noticed early, because attendance, homework and quiz trends are reviewed continuously rather than at the end of the term. A dip is addressed the week it appears — with a targeted review, extra practice, or a conversation about what changed.
How much homework is there?
A targeted set after every session, sized to be completed properly rather than rushed. Homework is corrected with written notes, not just ticked, and completion is tracked and visible to parents.
