FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We offer the traditional hourly a la carte as well as a flat-fee score guarantee.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
In an effort to provide a unique experience tailored to the specific needs of each student we will ask you to either fill out our online New Student Contact form, or to schedule a phone call to discuss your background and goals. If you have an ESR (Enhanced Score Report) we'll ask you to send that along for analysis. If you haven't taken a practice test that will be your next step so we know what you can do and what you need to work on. We will then design a curriculum that meets all of your needs, taking into account your score data, budget, location, goals, and other personal preferences. For ultimate convenience all of our tutors are available online. First lessons are usually scheduled the day you sign up, depending on mutual availability.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our CEO has been an Education Consultant for Chicago Public Schools (designed curricula for several courses), reviewed NASA educational materials, proofread economic models for Booth School of Business, and taught college level business calculus, single/multivariable, and real analysis before founding TPU. Our partner tutors are required to have Quant scores of 50 or 51, or a Verbal score in the 99th percentile (depending on the subject they teach). All have proven tutoring records.
