A career educator with a uniquely cosmopolitan outlook, Khalid Khashoggi graduated from Princeton University and traveled widely before settling in the New York-New Jersey area. There, he founded Integrated Educational Services, a tutoring company that has helped tens of thousands of students raise their standardized test scores--and attend the colleges of their dreams--since 2001. Determined to share his years of expertise, Khalid founded ILEX Publishing in 2013. Today, students all over the United States use the books in the ILEX SAT Advanced Practice Series to achieve their target scores. Each volume in the series delves into a specific SAT section--math, critical reading, or writing--in a manner that is systematic, straightforward, and enlightening. Today, ILEX continues to expand rapidly into new areas, including unique web resources, and continues to promote Khalid's vision: test prep that works in real classroom situations, that doesn't rely on platitudes and commonplaces, and that gives students the determination and the confidence to succeed.

Arianna Astuni is the Co-Founder and President of Integrated Educational Services (IES). She graduated from Syracuse University where her field of study included English, Literature, and Writing. Her career as the consummate SAT instructor started after years of in-home tutoring. Her invaluable experience led to the creation of IES, which because of her, is the exemplary leader in SAT preparation. She penned the IES curriculum for SAT Critical Reading and Writing -- a curriculum that has led countless students in reaching their target scores.


Because of her near perfect track record, she remains the most requested tutor in New Jersey. Her clients also include international students from China, Korea, Japan, Spain, and Russia who have sought her expertise from overseas. When asked about her thoughts on the current SAT preparation climate, Arianna provided this:

"IES has been so successful in SAT preparation because we teach a Technique that is unrivaled. After 15 years of teaching SAT, I know that many of my students have benefited from the IES Technique because it is more than just simple strategies: it's an arsenal of knowledge that when applied, safeguards the student from silly mistakes and errors. Many other SAT companies like to focus on 'improving the student's overall critical reading,' which is a noble pursuit -- but it lacks the overall vision that the SAT must be completed under a time constraint. My technique directly addresses that by streamlining what the student needs to know to increase their accuracy, speed, and efficiency."
