For tutors & tutoring companies
The vocabulary homework that actually gets done.
Built by an SAT tutor with 20+ years of experience who co-founded a tutoring company, for people who do this work every day.
Built to work alongside one-on-one prep
-
The list is already vetted
Most tutors build their own vocabulary lists, which means hours spent assembling something that comes down to a judgment call. Ours was pulled from official College Board practice tests, cross-checked against leading prep resources, and reviewed by a team of expert tutors. That work is done, and it was done from data.
-
Nobody has to chase the student
The first ten minutes of a session often go to finding out whether the homework got done. The gate handles that, so session time goes to teaching instead of enforcement. Less chasing also means more time building trust with your students.
-
You can see exactly where the gaps are
Which words keep slipping, which question types a student misses, and whether they’re struggling with definitions, usage or reading in context. That’s a diagnostic, not a guess, and it tells you what to work on before the session starts.
-
Strategy you already teach, practiced daily
Punctuation cues, Words in Context format, “plug in your own word”, positive/negative/neutral elimination. SATShield drills the habits you teach, so they’re automatic by test day.
For tutoring companies
- A vocabulary component you don't have to build, and are almost certainly already assigning.
- Progress visibility to show families the value of your program.
- Real metrics your tutors can use in sessions.

Tutor FAQ
Where does the word list come from?
The 300 words were drawn from official College Board practice tests and cross-checked against leading SAT prep resources, then reviewed by experienced SAT tutors. They're words with a documented history of appearing on the test.
Does SATShield replace a tutor?
No. It handles daily vocabulary and strategy practice and works alongside tutoring. For students who won't study on their own, it's a strong place to start.
Can tutors see their students' progress?
SATShield tracks every miss, accuracy by level, and which words keep slipping, so tutors can see where a student needs help. Dedicated tutor dashboards are on our roadmap. Contact us to join the tutor pilot.
