ABOUT

Who we are

Cosmic Prep has been providing tutoring services for the SAT since 2009. Our founder, Douglas Kovel, Ed.M., scored in the 99th percentile, graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown, and earned a 4.0 from Harvard’s Mind, Brain, and Education program. Frustrated by cookie-cutter courses, Doug started building his own tools: clear notes, smarter drills, and custom quizzes designed to help students where typical test prep falls short.

GET TO KNOW DOUG

I’ve recently committed to Tulane and that wouldn’t have been possible without all of your help.

- Eva W.

The grammar book that Doug wrote was a great help for my son. After using that book and working with Doug, his score increased by 12 points in English!

- Denise R.

He got into Binghamton which was his first choice and his 'reach' school. We really feel that without your help he probably would not have been able to achieve this goals.

- Lili S.
