Introduction: Understanding Prometheus.Academe: Each student we instruct, absolutely will have their own, highly specific and unique needs. As in...specific to their unique personality.

The first three sessions we provide are free of charge...and these sessions may be used for homework help, test preparation, instruction on specific topics as requested by the student, or for working diagnostic sections of standardized entrance exams. Whatever the case may be, we strive for a comprehensive understanding of potential material mastery and performance issues. From our history, experience, and proven track record of success, we confidently offer the first three sessions free of charge. We are willing to assume this cost to gain true understanding the challenges we will face in order to meet your expectations of performance, efficiency, the true value of the services you receive for the cost you pay Prometheus.Academe, are far and beyond exceeded. We begin the design of each student's instruction plan, resolving such issues as what are the difficulties to address, why they exist, and what will be the most efficient approach to realize "Success!", Additionally we, as best possible, focus the first three free sessions to the optimal benefit of the student's immediate needs.

In our search for a tutor, or possibly tutors, who could provide exam preparation services for both the SAT II - Math II and SAT II - Chemistry exam, we were very happy we hired George with Prometheus.Academe.The exam prep he provided was excellent, as were my son’s results. I highly recommend using George with Prometheus for your SAT preparation needs.

Hello Thumbtack. George with Prometheus.Academe asked if I would provide you with a few comments on their performance in providing tutoring services for two classes my son was taking his last year for which he needed help, i.e., technical expertise well beyond what we could provide. In Summary: George provided excellent support for my son’s Chemistry and Pre-Calculus classes. He certainly knew the material well and one thing I felt made him distinctive, very different from other tutors we have used in the past. It pertains to quality of service. He was extremely flexible and accommodating with whatever short notice scheduling issues that arose. My son might learn he was having a quiz the next day or he might be assigned a lot of homework that he really needed help with. Whatever the case, it seemed like George always found a way to work my son into his schedule. He was always there when we needed him. I certainly and strongly recommend Prometheus.Academe, particularly George, should you ever need tutoring help for any math or science classes. Don H. ____________________________

My daughter Beth was a rising senior, an excellent student, but a poor test taker - relating to standardized exams. We knew we needed to find her exceptional exam preparation services when her time for taking the ACT and SAT came. When I came across a Prometheus.Academe and their “ BOOT CAMP SAT-ACT” After reading a few details, and with their introductory offer of the first three sessions free, I had to at least make a call to learn more. My daughter was shooting for admission to a top tier university, her credentials were excellent, but what remained to round out a very respectable admissions application was a superior ACT or SAT exam score. The Prometheus.Academe BOOT CAMP Program is certainly not for the faint of heart. Their preparation method is not designed simply for only the best of the best students. As they explained, their program is designed for students who desire accomplishment to the BEST of their abilities and also who have the resolve and grit to make it happen. The initial step of their approach comes down to an evaluation from two distinct perspectives. What, at present, does the student know? And what are any and all performance related factors the student faces for which some degree of remediation is essential. They begin with extensive diagnostic testing used to assess and quantify the student’s true degree of Material Mastery. Prometheus then proceeds with in depth evaluations they use to isolate, evaluate, and qualify the students Performance related issues such as focus issues , cognitive speed, mental math ability, anxiety issues, and performance under pressure, to resolve what non-Material Mastery factors might be in play. Factors, anyone of which could significantly compromise a student’s composite score. With a clear understanding of the students approximate existing performance potential, Prometheus will provide the student with their assessment of all diagnostic information collected. From this point, student expectations and goals are discussed along with other considerations such as how many sessions per week the student will commit to, how many hours of independent study the student will commit to, and what their availability will be on select weekends when scheduled proctored practice exams are given. They recognize how different and unique each student is. Some of their past students' goals were improvement of their first ACT score from 21 to a 27, some from an 18 to a 23, and some were within reach of scoring 30 - plus and set their goal to score 32. For each and every student, including Beth, a one of a kind, need specific, custom designed instruction plan was created. As time passed, improvement realized, their respective plans were modified in real time to respond and adjust to newly recognized opportunities for additional improvement. In the end, we were delighted with Beth’s scores and the unique preparation of exceptional quality she was so fortunate to receive. Beth and I strongly recommend Prometheus.Academe’s ACT-SAT BOOT CAMP Program for students who are prepared to begin their college admissions efforts with entrance exam scores that reflect the very best of your abilities.

In August of last year, we realized - a little too late that my daughter really needed to finish her preparation for the SAT so he could begin her college applications. Colette my daughter worked a number of weeks and when she felt she was prepared she took the Sat. We were really disappointed with the results. Her score was way off the mark from what she needed and much lower than we thought she was capable of. I went looking for a tutor and a friend who had used Prometheus. Academe before. with great results, recommended their services and provided me with contact information. In the end, my daughter's SAT score was improved by over 200 points. This increase put my daughter in the range needed to apply to the colleges she wanted most. Prometheus. Academe got the job done- just like my friend said they would. I think they are great for the ACT and Sat preparation. Thank you, Wendy C

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing for Academic classes, i.e., help with Junior High - Middle School, High School, and university undergraduate classes is scaled based on ranking of difficulty according to academia standards. The prices for tutoring can vary widely based on how much out of session work is required, i.e., amount of graded homework, custom practice exam preparation and grading as needed, etc,. Additionally, prices per hour decrease in proportion to the number of session hours provided weekly - at times up to 20%. In summary, final pricing is determined from a collective of factors and negotiated typically after completion of the initial three free sessions we offer. Billing is on a weekly basis. As for our Boot Camp Entrance Exam services, we begin with a fixed price discussed in our initial conversations. The price per hour can be scaled down in proportion to the number of session hours provided weekly. The discount can be s much as 20% per hour. Entrance exam preparation requires constant diagnostic testing to confirm improvement is realized in whatever specific problem areas a student may have as well to confirm that the student's composite exam scores continue to rise. This is a timely process and such examinations re typically reserved for weekends. Prometheus.Academe does NOT charge for the time required to proctor the exams, nor for grading and final student consultation. For our Boot Camp Entrance Exam Preparation Services, Prometheus.Academe provides all study and exam materials needed free of charge.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Initially, objectives (realistic) must be quantified by the student, diagnostic work, such as practice exams, specific topic exercises, etc., must be performed to resolve what the problems, challenges exist and if possible why. The answers may be self-evident, usually not. Based on this information, an initial, custom designed study plan is formulated which outlines course of study and recommended amount / intensity requisite effort required to meet performance objectives - all with student's existing obligations and commitment to Boot CAMP Program factored in. Conclusions drawn from this input will give us our initial performance benchmark as well as our best approximate estimate of performance improvement the student can expect to realize. Our proposal is presented for discussion, questions, modifications, and hopefully resolve so that work can begin immediately. We always begin our new client relationships with a three session offer (2 hrs/each) free of charge. This affords us an opportunity to perform the initial assessment - diagnostic work needed. As well, these three initial sessions will give students and respective instructor an few sessions together to allow clients to confirm their satisfaction with the instructor/student chemistry and confidence in the outstanding quality of our services. From this point, hopefully we get busy. The plan of action is not a fixed and rigid remedy, but rather a game plan, "strategy", which can be changed in real time as circumstances demand.
