ABOUT
The Golani program is a premium Math (and ACT Science) preparatory program designed for maximum results.
​
Both courses, which were designed by Alon Krausz, are broken down into 20/24 units (SAT/ACT) in two 400+ page books. Alon wrote and refined the books over the course of 20 years. Each unit focuses on a tactic or a content area, with numerous actual exam problems to practice the skills.
​
These methods have helped former students raise their scores an average of 80-120 points on the SAT and 4-8 points on the ACT .
​
WHY CHOOSE GOLANI?
Experience - Content - Strategy
-
Some courses focus mainly on tricks and tactics, like plugging in, backsolving, etc. Others focus only on course content, like probability and quadratic equations. Golani believes that maximizing one's score requires learning both techniques and content, and learning when it is appropriate to use each.
-
Alon is an experienced SAT/ACT Math specialist. He personally designed and wrote the books that are used in his course. He has a reputation for possessing patience and clarity. Not only are his techniques effective, but the method of delivery has been honed through twenty-seven years of classroom experience teaching math.
