E&J Test Prep
Eli Marcus and Jai Bansal took the new digital SAT just last year and now tutor as a package duo: patient, clear, and focused on each student's goals. We have helped peers and other students one-on-one, and we know from prep classes what actually helps versus what just feels like filler work.
Why E&J works
Parents should not have to guess whether tutoring is actually clicking. E&J keeps the work specific: what the student missed, why it happened, what pattern to watch for next time, and how to practice without wasting hours.
Will attend Georgetown University
Eli helps across the whole SAT, with particular strength in Reading and Writing. He focuses on passage strategy, grammar patterns, answer-choice traps, and making the reasoning behind each miss feel clear instead of frustrating.
Will attend Wharton at Penn
Jai helps across the whole SAT, with particular strength in Math. He teaches clean setup, fast pattern recognition, and Desmos judgment: when the SAT's built-in graphing calculator saves time and when solving by hand is cleaner.
Modern digital SAT approach
The digital SAT rewards pattern recognition, timing, and tool choice. We focus on what moves the score for that student instead of assigning filler work.
Desmos is the built-in digital SAT calculator. It can graph relationships, solve equations, test answer choices, and use functions many students never touch. The biggest gains come from knowing what it can do and when using it is actually the smartest move.

Parent FAQ
The SAT is now taken on a computer, is shorter than before, and adjusts in difficulty based on how a student performs. That makes pacing, decision-making, and familiarity with the new format especially important.
Desmos is the graphing calculator built directly into the digital SAT. It can graph, solve equations, test answer choices, and use functions that many students never touch. Students improve most when they learn what it can do and when it is actually the best approach.
We focus on the specific skills and question types that will help each student improve. Every assignment has a clear purpose, rather than adding practice simply to fill time.
How it works
Start with a short conversation about goals, timing, and what kind of support would help.
Review current performance, missed-question patterns, target scores, and test dates.
Build a focused plan that blends content review, strategy, practice, and feedback.

Parents or students can schedule a free introductory call to discuss goals, timing, current scores, and whether E&J Test Prep is a good fit.
Both. Sessions are available online, and in-person tutoring is available in the New Orleans area.
Yes. The intro call is a low-pressure way to discuss goals and decide whether E&J is a good fit.
Yes. Students can work on complete SAT prep or focus specifically on Math or Reading and Writing.
