Math Teacher Releases SAT-Prep DVD 
Six hours and six practice tests prepare kids for Math SAT

Sarasota, FL, July 5, 2010 – Long-time math tutor, teacher, motivator and study-skills master Dennis DiNoia has released a six-hour DVD designed to prepare high school students for their math SAT. The program includes test-taking strategies and six full-length practice tests with step-by-step solutions. It also explains how to use calculators on the SAT and includes access to DiNoia’s online help center and SAT practice-test center.

Better known as “Mr. D” to his students, DiNoia taught math in the Sarasota, Fla. public school system for 13 years before beginning his practice as a full-time math tutor 10 years ago. He has taught arithmetic and algebra to over 5,000 students and has personally tutored over 500 underachievers in math, raising their scores by 50 to 100 points when they take the math portion of the SAT. Mr. D is piloting a pre-algebra and algebra I curriculum for homeschool students for the 2010-11 school year.

“It is usually not the math on the SAT that gives students difficulty but rather the way the questions are asked,” DiNoia said. “Focusing on the kinds of questions they will encounter and on test-taking strategies has made all the difference for students.”

Nate Reynolds of Sarasota, Fla., who graduated from high school in June, credits DiNoia with getting him into the college of his choice. “Before I started using the Mr. D math program, I found myself exasperated with tough equations on tests. Even simpler algebra just frightened me. No other curriculum or teaching method has ever helped me like Mr. D. My math scores were high enough to be accepted to the college of my choice after the first time I took the SAT.” 

The SAT math-prep DVD retails for $149 but can be purchased for $99 through Scholars Sqaure. Live in-person 2-day SAT-prep seminars are also offered. For information, phone Dennis DiNoia at (941) 240-2957 or go to www.MrDmath.com.
