We coach one subject.For the exams where it counts most.
AcadMaster is a specialist mathematics coaching firm. We coach Digital SAT Math for students working toward 750 and above, and A-level Maths for Edexcel, AQA, and OCR — and nothing else. This page explains why we built the firm that way.
Why we built this.
We kept seeing the same student. They knew the material. They could do the practice at home. And in the exam, they lost marks in the same place every time — where the paper gets hard and the clock starts to matter.
Nobody was built for exactly that student. General tutoring firms cover every subject at every level, so their teaching settles at the level of the average student in the room. What the strong-but-stuck student needs is narrower: mathematics, coached for the specific exam in front of them, at the point where it gets difficult and timed. So we built a firm that does only that — two courses, coached deeply, with no plans to add a third.
AcadMaster was founded by Gaurav — an IIT Kanpur graduate and a PhD researcher at Imperial College London — who is also the firm's head coach. AcadMaster is an independent venture, not affiliated with Imperial College London or IIT Kanpur.
What we do. And what we don't.
What we do
- Coach Digital SAT Math, for students working toward 750 and above.
- Coach A-level Maths across the three main exam boards — Edexcel, AQA, and OCR.
- Start every SAT student with a free, full-length diagnostic — 70 minutes, 44 questions, adaptive — scored with Item Response Theory, the same scoring method the College Board uses.
- Train every coach in-house for the one course they teach. Never two.
What we don't
- SAT Reading & Writing. A different skill, and not what we coach.
- The ACT, or any subject other than mathematics. Doing one thing well is the whole point.
- Live SAT coaching for students starting much further back — they begin with the Self-Paced Library, which covers the full syllabus.
- Tutor marketplaces and rotating tutors. Your child gets one named coach, start to finish.
A few things we believe.
- 01
Doing one thing beats doing everything.
A firm that coaches every subject can't go deep on any of them. We coach mathematics, in two courses, and every AcadMaster coach is hand-picked from the world's leading universities and trained in-house for the one course they teach. Depth is the product.
- 02
Marks are lost where the exam gets hard and timed.
A student stuck below their target usually isn't missing the material. They lose marks where the questions get harder and the time gets shorter — and performing there is a coachable skill, not a talent. That skill is the specific thing we coach, on both courses.
- 03
A guarantee that doesn't pay out isn't a guarantee.
"Improve or get a partial refund" is a refund policy, not a promise. Our live Digital SAT coaching is covered by the 750 Pact — hit 750+ or we keep coaching, free. Read the full Pact.
- 04
Honest pricing beats premium-anchoring.
Elite private SAT tutors charge $400 to $1,000 an hour, usually with no promise attached. We publish our prices, keep them the same for everyone, and price for a business built on teaching many students well — not a few expensively.
AcadMaster is an independent company. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or partnered with the College Board, Imperial College London, IIT Kanpur, or any other testing authority or university. The Digital SAT is a registered trademark of the College Board.
