— Why Ziqzi exists

We believe the SAT is not a test of luck.
It is a test of thinking.

Most prep sells volume. Pattern-drills, cram books, recordings of recordings. We sell something rarer — eight seats in a live room with someone who has spent a decade learning to read closely, argue precisely, and analyze critically.

Domain knowledge in economics, biology, computer science, or linguistics is the vehicle. Reading, writing, and research are the destination. Our students don't memorize for the SAT — they outgrow it.

— How it works

Four steps. One classroom.

01
CONSULTATION
Match with a researcher
Every teacher is an active researcher or graduate of a top-class university — UIUC, BYU, and others. We match by subject, by goal, and by temperament.
02
LIVE / MAX 8
Join a cohort of eight
Classes meet live on Zoom. We cap every cohort at eight students so the teacher can hear, and respond to, every voice. No recordings substituted for presence.
03
PARENT PORTAL
Parents stay in the loop
Our parent platform shows weekly progress, mock-test trends, completed assignments, and notes from the teacher — in Korean or English.
04
OUTCOME
Outgrow the test
SAT prep is the frame. Inside it, students learn close reading, argument structure, and how research actually gets done. The score follows.

I came in for SAT prep. I left having co-written a research outline with a real economist. That's the part that mattered.

The parent portal is the most thoughtful thing I've seen from any academy. Weekly notes, in Korean. We always know where she is.

— Frequently asked

Questions parents ask first.

Every class meets live on Zoom at a scheduled time. There are no recorded substitutes — a researcher leads each cohort in real time, with a maximum of eight students.

Weekly progress notes, mock-test trends, completed assignments, attendance, and direct messages from the teacher. Available in Korean and English.

Researchers and graduate-track students from top-class universities, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Brigham Young University.

SAT is our anchor, but the deeper goal is building reading, writing, and research ability. We also offer mentorship for John Locke and other essay competitions.

Tuition varies by program length and subject. Book a free 30-minute consultation and we'll send a detailed quote within 48 hours.
