Aim, not just effort
Every student starts with a diagnostic. We find exactly which question types are costing points and fix those first, instead of re-teaching what they already know.
Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Lauren Jones.
I've spent 28 years in education and the last 19 specializing in SAT Math. Over that time I've watched too many hard-working students spend months on prep that never moved their score, simply because nobody showed them where their points were actually going.
I hold a BSEd in Mathematics Education and an MEd in Gifted and Creative Education, both from the University of Georgia. I've taught more than 1,000 students, including 300+ who went through the Mentomind test group.
I founded The Success Equation to fix that. My students don't do more work. They do the right work: targeted practice on their exact gaps, plus the calculator strategies that save minutes on test day.
My goal is simple: a score that reflects what your student is truly capable of, and the confidence that comes with it.

How I Teach
Speed through strategy
Desmos shortcuts and pattern recognition turn 2-minute problems into 20-second wins, so students finish with time to check their work.
Small groups, real attention
Live cohorts are strictly capped at 8 students, so every student is seen, heard, and coached directly.
