We offer private one-on-one tutorials. The advantage to a private tutorial is that the tutor watches the student's every move, and it doesn't take long to spot what needs coaching. The tutor gets to know the student quickly and creates a specific study program for him or her. Homework is issued based on the student's needs and capabilities. Students in this setting tend to be more candid about the material that eludes them. We find that private tutorials often work best for students who are highly competent and aiming to crack 700 or for students who have gaps in their skill-sets and who have a history of scoring low on standardized tests. More and more students are taking our complete SAT course and then supporting specific areas with one-on-one tutoring. There's no getting around the value of prepping for the SATs. Once students recognize what they're looking at and know what to do, their scores go up.

 

 

We sometimes tutor three students at a time.
(This generally comes about with siblings and good friends who want to tutor together and also save some money.)
