The Greenwich Reality
College admissions officers compare your student to other Greenwich students.
Former admissions officers are clear about how this works: when a file from Greenwich High arrives, the student is evaluated against their peers from the same graduating class — not against students from other states. A 3.70 GPA is the school mean, not a differentiator. A score near 1157 is average, not an advantage.
The students who stand out are the ones who score significantly above the school benchmark, take advantage of the 32 AP courses available, and show a clear upward trajectory. Ivy Bound is built to help Greenwich students get there.
01
Instructors who scored in the top 1%

A plan built around your student's specific score gap
Every student starts with a full-length Digital SAT diagnostic. Every plan is built from that data — targeting the exact question types and content areas where each student is losing points.
03
You meet the tutor before you commit
Every Greenwich family is offered a complimentary meet and greet before the first paid session. You will know the tutor's background, their approach, and whether the fit is right — before spending a dollar.

What this means for your student
To stand out in the Greenwich applicant pool, most selective colleges expect a score well above the school mean — often 1400 or higher. Ivy Bound builds a plan specifically around that gap.
The Methodology
Six steps. One goal: the score your student is capable of.
Every Ivy Bound student follows the same process, adapted to their specific starting point, target score, and test date.
Step 01
Diagnostic Assessment
A full-length Digital SAT practice test under real conditions. This gives us an accurate baseline and shows exactly where points are being lost — before we spend a single session on content.
Step 02
Custom Study Plan
Based on the diagnostic, we build a personalized plan targeting the highest-impact areas first. Not a generic schedule — a specific roadmap for this student, this score gap, this test date.
Step 03
Live Instruction
Every session is live with a real instructor who knows your student by name, knows their weak areas, and knows their target. No recorded videos. No self-paced modules.
Step 04
Practice Testing
Students take full-length Digital SAT practice tests throughout the program using official College Board materials. Every test is scored, analyzed, and used to update the study plan.
Step 05
Targeted Drilling
Between tests, we drill the specific question types and content areas where each student is losing the most points. No time is spent on material they have already mastered.
Step 06
Test-Day Readiness
In the final week before the exam, we focus on pacing, stamina, and test-day strategy. Students arrive knowing exactly what to expect and how to handle every question type under pressure.

Common Questions
Questions from Greenwich families.
Do you offer SAT tutoring in Greenwich, CT?
Yes. Ivy Bound offers private one-on-one SAT tutoring and small-group SAT prep classes for students in Greenwich and throughout Fairfield County. Both online and in-person options are available.
What SAT score do Greenwich High students need for selective colleges?
The mean SAT at Greenwich High is approximately 1157. For selective colleges, students typically need to score well above that benchmark — often 1400 or higher — to stand out within the Greenwich applicant pool. Admissions officers evaluate Greenwich students against their peers from the same school, so the internal benchmark matters as much as the absolute score.
How much does SAT prep cost in Greenwich?
The SAT Essentials Class starts at $850 and the SAT Premier Class starts at $1,350. Private tutoring rates vary by tutor. Contact us for a personalized recommendation based on your student's goals and timeline.
What is the average SAT score improvement with Ivy Bound?
Students who complete a full Ivy Bound program average 150 or more points of improvement on official SAT scores. Results are based on students who completed the program and took an official College Board SAT before and after.
What is the Digital SAT?
The Digital SAT is taken on a computer using the College Board Bluebook app. It is shorter than the old paper SAT and uses adaptive testing — meaning the second module adjusts in difficulty based on performance in the first. All Ivy Bound programs are fully updated for the Digital SAT format.
How is Ivy Bound different from other SAT prep companies?
Every Ivy Bound instructor has a verified top 1% SAT score on file. Class sizes are capped at 8 students. Every family receives a complimentary meet and greet before committing to any program. Large test prep companies use standardized curricula and large classes — Ivy Bound builds a plan around each individual student's diagnostic results.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes. Every family is offered a complimentary meet and greet with their matched tutor before the first paid session. No obligation, no pressure. You will know the tutor's background, approach, and fit before spending a dollar.
