Welcome to MJ TestPrep LLC. We are proud to offer you our highly developed program and elite group of personnel to help meet your test taking and college admission needs.

MJ TestPrep was founded by Dr. Matthew Joseph, who did his doctoral dissertation on the efficacy of coaching for the SAT. To operationalize the coaching for his study, Dr. Joseph developed both a broad format for the coaching and particular test taking strategies which deconstructed many of the SAT question types. The format and strategies were developed as a result of his many years of clinical experience as an SAT instructor and through his comprehensive doctoral research that included an examination of the psychometric properties of the SAT and the learning theory associated with preparing for entrance exams.

All the instructors at MJ TestPrep have been trained to teach the problems that show up on the SATs, ACTs and other graduate, undergraduate, and secondary school entrance exams in a systematic way that is particular to our company. The general curriculum that the instructors use is basically the same for each test, and then modified to the specific levels of each of our students.

The four senior instructors-- Dr. Matthew Joseph, David Goldstein, Matthew Ryan, and R.J. Blazejewski have collaborated, using their various backgrounds and approaches to create an educational milieu that minimizes some of the pressures generally associated with entrance exams while streamlining the instruction so it effectively pinpoints and addresses students test taking needs. Our more recently acquired instructors-- Emily Allen, Bob Finnegan, Tim Blankenhorn, Kayley Laren, Colin Murphy and Nick Bosh are here in great part because they share the same pedagogical tenets we espouse and because they, as shown over time, care enormously about the progress and well being of their students. Our course is rigorous so it needs to be implemented with a strong and nurturing touch. We look to all our newer instructors as resources, and it has been exciting to use their prodigious educational backgrounds and experiences to help inform what we do here at MJ Test Prep.

MJ TestPrep proudly welcomes Sarah Heckscher. Sarah has joined us as our college counselor and offers her great expertise to help students through the entire admissions process.
