Our SAT Prep Program Is Better Than Ever!
|
Differentiated
Instruction
|
 We
group our students by ability level and offer relevant, focused
instruction. While other companies lump everyone together, we provide
accelerated instruction for advanced students, and appropriate
instruction for our other groups. This is EXTREMELY important
if you want your child to achieve the highest score increase! |
|
Ongoing
Assessment
|
Our
students complete up to five practice tests, and we have comprehensive
analytical tools for ALL of them. The depth of our
analysis is second to none, and, more importantly, WE respond to the
analysis. Other companies give limited data to their students
and then expect the students to interpret the data and
respond. Few students actually look at the
information. |
|
Small
Classes ... Private Tutoring ... Free Workshops
|
 Our sections have a
maximum of 12 carefully
matched students, who are led by one of our gifted, engaging SAT
coaches. In addition to eleven classes, we include
three hours of private tutoring and a variety of subject-specific
workshops. We also offer complete or subject specific private and semi-private tutoring packages if you do not want a classroom-based program for your son or daughter. |
|
Innovative
SAT
Strategies
|
 Our
owner has read over 35 test prep
books and he has analyzed thousands of assessments taken by local
students. His research has resulted in genuinely unique
strategies to beat the SAT
including some exciting new strategies that we're introducing this
summer! How do we know they're unique? We've recently added some
fantastic, highly experienced SAT
Instructors to our staff, all of whom have come from other SAT
Prep
providers. That's how we know! |
|
Unparalleled
Dedication To Our Students
|
 Obviously,
any company can say this (and some do). We've proven it ...
over and over again. Here are just a few examples:
1) Although it is harder to schedule and manage, and less profitable,
we have pioneered differentiated instruction because advanced and
challenged students don't belong in the same SAT
classes. Why doesn't eveyone do this? 2) We proactively offer
free tutoring and workshops to students who need more
help. 3) Our owner coached 20 seasons of
girls soccer and basketball. His positive coaching philosophy
is a key to helping students succeed on standardized tests. |
