Classes will be held on campus, in MIT classrooms. For directions on getting to MIT and locating MIT buildings, please use the MIT campus map. A note on MIT classroom numbering: E51-239 is interpreted as Room 239 on the second floor of Building E51. 1-345, then, is Room 345 on the third floor of Building 1.

As EdDI begins to assist the Boston Metro high school community in the SAT Subject Tests and getting into college, we are committed to excellence. As such, we invite all students to attend the Spring 2010 session completely free of charge.

Selected from MIT undergraduates through an interview and selection process. All teachers scored above the 99th percentile on the subject test that they are teaching.

The program is administered by the APEX Director. The current director has been running SAT Preparation programs for over six semesters, with four semesters in Boston. If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know through email at any time.

The rationale for this system is that we see the SAT Subject Test Preparation Program also as a valuable channel of development:

-Through the SAT Subject Test Preparation Program, we will be developing the local community by providing a low-cost, high-quality tutoring program to prepare high school students for the SAT Subject Tests. As a service to our community, we will ensure that the SAT Subject Test Preparation Program will continually run at a fraction of the cost of commercial SAT Subject Test preparation programs.

-Then, by redirecting all of the revenue from the SAT Subject Test Preparation Program into international development work, we will also be helping to develop communities on an international level, carrying out development projects outside of the United States and making a difference to those communities in need.

By choosing to enroll in our SAT Subject Test Preparation Program, students will not only be making a difference to their performance on the SAT Subject Tests, but also to the dynamic field of international development.
