“One of the great privileges of teaching undergraduate and graduate students at Yale is the opportunity to connect with talented, thoughtful, passionate people like Dr. Shaan Patel. It has been ten years since I first met Shaan when he matriculated at Yale, already a highly accomplished SAT tutor, entrepreneur, and individual committed to leveling the playing field for high school students preparing for college. Ten years hence, he is a highly successful clinician but still deeply committed to making the achievement of a high SAT score, and thus access to many schools, more realistic to everyone, not just those who would afford private tutors. Shaan brings lux et veritas (light and truth) to everything he touches.” (Dr. Howard P. Forman, MD, MBA, Professor of Radiology and Public Health and Director of the MD/MBA Program at Yale University)

“Having firsthand experience with Shaan’s brilliance while he was in medical school at the University of Southern California, I’m thrilled to see his expertise shared in Prep Expert Digital SAT Playbook. As Shaan does so well, this guide is not just about mastering the SAT; it’s about developing and nurturing a strategic, analytical mindset that you can apply in various areas. Shaan embodies the type of academic excellence and innovation we value at USC, and I know this guide will prove an invaluable resource for so many others striving for excellence when it comes to college and beyond.” (Dr. Shubha Kumar, PhD, MPH, Associate Vice Provost for Online Education and Associate Professor of Global Health at the University of Southern California)

“Shaan’s unique strength lies in his unwavering commitment to viewing tasks through the lens of the students. In this playbook, Shaan goes beyond the ordinary, ensuring that students are not only familiar with the nuances of the new digital SAT but are equipped with essential strategies and tools to navigate this journey. Having witnessed Shaan’s impact, I can confidently say that this playbook is not only about acing a test; it’s a guide that leads students toward academic and personal success.” (Giovanni (John) Durante, host of The College Admissions Process Podcast and Principal of Syosset High School)
