Frequently Asked Questions
How much SAT prep do I need?
Most of my clients start their SAT prep between three to five months before their official testing date. In order to ensure that a student will score a 700 or higher on the English section, I generally require between ten to sixteen 60-minute sessions.
Do you provide homework?
Students receive skill exercises after every session that are tailored to their unique needs. Based on the most recent diagnostic information, I provide students with take-home work that will address the areas in which they need the most improvement.
How much do your students’ scores generally increase?
On average, my students see a 100-point increase on the SAT English portion after participating in the 12-session program.
What is your tutoring philosophy?
The SAT is a unique kind of exam. Most students (and tutors) ignore the aspect of the SAT that makes it so different from the tests that we typically take in school — the SAT is actively trying to lure you away from the right answers by asking confusing questions and offering trap answer choices. I teach my clients how to identify these SAT traps so that they can approach the test with confidence and achieve their maximum score.
Do you offer SAT practice tests?
In order to gauge student progress, I utilize a number of practice test resources: official College Board Bluebook Practice Tests, The Princeton Review practice tests, One Prep and Blue Prep. I also provide students with access to extensive SAT question banks, unique skill exercises, and more.
Cancellation Policy
If a student needs to cancel or reschedule a tutoring session, I require 24 hours notice. Sessions canceled in under 24 hours will be subject to a fee equal to the full cost of the session.
