FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For SAT/ACT tutoring, we start by assigning a full length diagnostic test to identify key areas of weakness, which allows our tutors to create a personalized curriculum for each student. During each session, we focus solely on these areas of weakness whether it be algebra and factoring or grammar and puncutation rules. We only utilize real SAT and ACT past exams to provide numerous additional questions that reinforce each concept taught. Once the student feels comfortable with these concepts, we assign another timed assessment to identify new areas of weakeness and repeat the process.
