The National Higher Education Association named Harvey Manger-Weil ’80 the “Best SAT Tutor in America” on Nov. 3, Manger-Weil said in an interview with The Dartmouth. After 30 years of working with high school students, Manger-Weil said he has devised a system that significantly raises students’ scores in less time than any other tutor in the country, averaging a 310-point improvement in as few as five sessions.
The self-proclaimed “college wizard” said he was “surpised” to receive the honor, and that although there was no monetary award, he was pleased by the recognition. What began as a hobby while he was an undergraduate at the College in the 1970s has transformed into a 30-year venture and a full-time profession, he said.
Manger-Weil “reverse-engineered” and simplified the varied and complex SAT question types into seven cardinal rules, which, if followed explicity, should enable SAT-takers to score a perfect 2400, Manger-Weil said.
