Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: At Angela Sun Consulting, we understand high school isn't just about academics. It's also an important time for students to grow as people. As our students improve on their academics, their SAT, or their college admissions, we focus in parallel on building study skills, confidence, and interests. All of our tutors at Angela Sun Consulting have personally scored perfect SAT and/or ACT scores. Our philosophy: We believe that test prep is all about the methods, not a student’s intelligence. Anyone can reach a perfect score if they follow the right procedure and put in the work. We focus on using smart testing strategy, good notetaking, rigorous practice, and time management to help students achieve their best scores. We also believe parents are an integral part of supporting students through the test prep process, and keep our parents in the loop by inviting them to class and sending email summaries of classes if parents cannot attend. Our SAT/ACT Prep method: For SAT/ACT class, classes are typically 1.5 hours at a time. Classes can be held in person in our office in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, or via Skype. We assign 1.5 hours of homework per class. During our first class, we will produce a written plan and timeline of how long we think your student should do tutoring, what score goals we think we should aim for, and how long we will spend working on different topics. Typically, we work on one section at a time of the ACT before moving onto the next to ensure a student fully masters the skills and concepts necessary for a section. At the end, we will do review to ensure that the student retains all necessary information. Our students have been accepted to top tier schools including Cal, Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Yale, and more. 我们会讲中文和英文 Check out our website for more details.

My brother worked with Angela for his college admissions, and she was instrumental in the process. College admissions has changed a lot since I applied to college, but my parents wanted me to help anyway. In the end, I realized I was out of my depth and we found Angela who had all the up-to-date information and was able to answer all our questions. Most importantly, she helped with the essays, the most difficult part of the application for us. My brother had issues with comprehensibility, keeping within the word limit, and having a voice that would make him stand out amoung the other applicants. End the end, we had much better essays and he was accepted to many top tier programs. He is very happy with his outcome. My only regret is that we didn't work with Angela sooner; we started late in the process after we realize we were in over our heads and had pretty middling essays.

The best part of working with Angela is that she is very careful about teaching you in the simplest way possible. As an International student junior in computer science classes in college, I had a hard time understanding the lectures in class, so i would get weekly tutoring from Angela. She is not like an irresponsible tutor who will just tell you how to solve your homework and be done. Instead, she asks you a lot of questions and leads you to think until you get the right answer. It is really awesome. Also, Angela's bilingual teaching is great. She is very fluent in Chinese and we mostly used Chinese in class because I am a Chinese international student.

Working with Angela has helped me improve fundamental flaws in my learning and focus on long term goals. She's very knowledgeable and can help in almost anything school/college related, from the SAT/ACT to APs better studying habits.

Angela does the best job of explaining concepts for AP/SAT if you are trying to learn something outside of school. We did our tutoring over the computer, but I actually found it more engaging than in person. For example, I was confused about cos (180degrees), because I hadn't learned about it in school yet. Angela's explanation also made 10x more sense than what my math teacher would say. Now I FINALLY understand how to find cos (180degrees)!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    We typically hold 1.5 hour sessions with students. Before we start, we offer a free phone or video call consultation to get to know each other and see if we are a good fit.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We will start by getting to know each other personally. It's really important that my students are comfortable around me! I want you to think of us as a team. We will then do a strengths and weakness assessment and form a long term set of goals and a timeline to get there. From there, we will start executing and taking a look at the concepts and strategies we need to help you improve.

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Our tutors have firsthand experience of the ACT/SAT process (we all personally scored perfect SAT/ACT scores) as well as over 4 years of experience teaching in 1:1 and group settings
