If you are looking for an SAT tutor in Kinshasa, I have not yet found an in-person tutor to list. Below I explain how online tutoring with me works, where students sit the exam in Kinshasa, and where to get college advising.
Online SAT tutoring with me
I tutor the SAT online, one to one, and I work with students in Kinshasa. Before we start, I build a Precision Point Map™ from your son or daughter's score report, so we know exactly which points are missing. In session, I teach only what he or she doesn't know yet, instead of assigning practice problem after practice problem.
- Time difference: Kinshasa is on UTC+1 all year. I am in Los Angeles, 8 to 9 hours behind, so a 6:00 pm lesson in Kinshasa is 9:00 am for me in winter.
- Device for test day: A student who brings their own device uses a Windows or Mac laptop or an iPad with the Bluebook app, and runs the device check at least 30 days before. A personal Chromebook or a phone will not work. A student without a suitable device can ask the College Board to lend one, also at least 30 days ahead.
- Updates for parents: After every session I email the parents my session notes, so you know what we covered and what the student does next, wherever you are. I also keep you posted on the test registration and test-day details.
Schedule a no-obligation intro call
Pick a time that works for you and I will walk through your score report and what SAT tutoring would look like. Sessions are one-on-one with me, so I can take only 20 new students a month.
Taking the SAT in Kinshasa
The College Board lists one SAT test center in Kinshasa: TASOK, the American School of Kinshasa, in Ngaliema. It is an American-curriculum international school and an IB Diploma school. TASOK is not listed for every test date: the June 2027 date has no Kinshasa center.
| Test center | Test dates |
|---|---|
| TASOK, code 80334, 51 Route de Matadi, Ngaliema, Kinshasa | Dec 5, 2026; Mar 6, 2027; May 1, 2027. Jun 5, 2027: none listed. |
For a date with no Kinshasa listing, such as June 5, 2027, the nearest alternative I have found is across the river in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo: the American International School of Brazzaville, code 80341. It is a different country, so a student will likely need a passport and may need a visa. Check the current entry requirements before booking.
Registration costs $68 plus a $43 international fee, $111 in total. Some centers add a local test center fee of about $24, so the total can run a little higher. The College Board fee waiver is aimed at students who live in the US, so a student testing in Kinshasa should expect to pay in full.
Students from DR Congo in the US
IIE's Open Doors report counted 1,794 students from DR Congo enrolled at US colleges and universities in 2024/25, up from 1,738 the year before and 1,125 in 2020/21. About 63 percent of them, 1,134 students, were undergraduates. The states hosting the most are Washington, Utah, Texas, Minnesota and Alabama. These are students already enrolled in the US, not applicants.

College advising: EducationUSA Kinshasa
EducationUSA is the US State Department's network of advising centers. The EducationUSA Kinshasa center is at 498 Avenue Colonel Lukusa. It is open Monday to Thursday, 9:00 to 17:00, and Friday, 9:00 to 12:00, and offers one-on-one advising and information on financial aid.
