1. Does prep make a difference?

Every study on this question has revealed that students who prepare have shown consistently higher outcomes than students who do not.

2. What is the best way to prep?

The best preparation for the ACT/SAT is under the guidance of a tutor who utilizes the most advanced diagnostic and instructional techniques available.

3. Does the tutoring adapt to my child’s needs?

A comprehensive ACT/SAT tutoring program needs to identify the student’s strengths and weaknesses in order to designate specific areas of improvement.  Utilizing state of the art diagnostics, a targeted program will maximize the chances for the best possible outcome.

4. How important is a good score on the ACT or SAT?

Most parents recognize that a higher score in the college preparation exams can make the difference in admission or denial to the better colleges and universities.  Less well known is that a higher score is also used by many schools in determining the level of scholarship money offered to each student.

5. What should I look for in a tutor?

An ACT/SAT tutor must have a number of advanced tools in their skill set. They must have a history of proficiency with the exams, a past record of academic excellence and success, ability to utilize advanced diagnostics and adapt the tutoring to the individualized needs of each student, and the talent to motivate students to achieve outstanding results.
