If you are looking for an SAT tutor in Lagos, 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 Lagos, 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 Lagos. 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: Lagos is on UTC+1 all year, with no daylight saving. I am in Los Angeles, 8 to 9 hours behind, so a 6:00 pm lesson in Lagos 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.

Registration costs $68 plus a $43 international fee, $111 in total. The College Board's fee page does not list Nigeria among the places where test centers add a local fee, but it tells students to contact their test center for the latest information.
Students from Nigeria in the US
IIE's Open Doors report counted 21,847 students from Nigeria enrolled at US colleges and universities in 2024/25, up from 20,029 the year before and 12,860 in 2020/21. That made Nigeria the eighth-largest place of origin for international students in the US, from a country of about 243 million people.
Most Nigerian students in the US are at the graduate level: 11,617 graduate students, about 53 percent, against 5,677 undergraduates, about 26 percent, and 4,394 on Optional Practical Training. Undergraduate numbers grew about 9 percent in the latest year. Roughly three quarters attend public institutions, and the states hosting the most are Texas, Illinois, Georgia, New York and Maryland. The same report shows F-1 student visas issued to Nigerian students down about 22 percent from 2023 to 2024, so families planning ahead may want to leave extra time for the visa step. These are students already enrolled in the US, not applicants.
