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

and offers her great expertise to help students through the
entire admissions process. |
