Some students come to us because they want the most thorough SAT course available (and with nearly 60 hours of small-group instruction and four proctored diagnostic SATs, we are thorough). Some come to us because they’ve seen their friends’ scores skyrocket after TestTakers, and want to take part in the program with the highest score improvements in Metro New York. Some come to us because they know we have the most fun, clever, and inspiring teachers around. No matter why they join, all students who choose TestTakers receive the unparalleled education, engaging instruction, and personal attention that have been the hallmarks of TestTakers since 1983.Locations: Bronx Science, Dix Hills, Garden City, Great Neck, Half Hollow Hills, Long Island Academy, Manhattan, Roslyn, Scarsdale and Staten Island. History Established in 1983. When Frank Pomilla founded TestTakers in 1983, he started with just 8 students. Although our program has grown dramatically, we ensure that all of our courses provide the same individual attention, customized help, and personal connection that made those original eight students the first TestTakers fanatics. We have grown almost exclusively through word-of-mouth recommendations, and would much rather invest in ways to provide the best education possible than in slick advertising campaigns.We believe the SAT is a complicated, unfamiliar, grueling test, but that it essentially tests a skill that all students can develop. By teaching our students the test-taking techniques necessary to tame the test and reinforcing students’ math, reading and writing skills, we help them refine their reasoning processes and see the keys hidden within each question.
Frank Pomilla is the president and founder of TestTakers. After graduating as valedictorian of Elmont Memorial High School, he received his bachelor's degree in economics from Princeton in 1983. Immediately upon graduation, Frank founded TestTakers. �He has personally instructed nearly one thousand students and has served as Site Director for three thousand more. Along the way, Frank has achieved perfect scores on the SAT over 30 times. Frank has been honored by the STAR (Success Through Academic Readiness) program and "Let's Get Ready!" for his contributions to underprivileged students in the field of SAT preparation. He remains steadfastly committed to his students, even well after they complete the TestTakers program - and, as testament, he has attended the weddings of over a dozen former students.
