We know you may have questions… luckily, our team is great at answering tricky questions. It’s why we do what we do! Here are our most frequently asked questions. Still have questions? Contact us here.
When you’re “ready” academically and when it’s the best time for you to prep. We have specific plans for each grade level of high school from Freshman to Senior year.
Please reach out to us to discuss our various offerings for tutoring, tutors and associated costs. We offer one-on-one tutoring as well as small group lessons.
We tailor each tutoring course to each individual student so we do not sell packages of tutoring or specifically suggest a duration for tutoring. We offer our services as long as a student needs them to achieve success, but typically between 3 to 5 months.
We offer tutoring online via zoom session or in person in our offices in Livingston or Millburn, NJ. At times, we are also able to accommodate in-home tutoring.
While colleges are agnostic to which test you take, they will want to see your best score. To figure out if you are better at the ACT or SAT, take our one-of-a-kind diagnostic test and review your results with one of our experts.
Anything that falls into the mid-50% range for any of the schools you’re applying to is considered a strong score.
Nope! In fact, many of them reward you for doing so by “superscoring” your test.
It’s a practice whereby colleges will allow you to send your best scores from individual sections taken on different test dates as opposed to just the scores from one test date. This allows students to show what they’re truly capable of on each section when they’re at their best.
Nope! Colleges will never take an average of your test scores.
Our one-of-a-kind ACT/SAT diagnostic is an abbreviated version of both tests in one that will tell you if you are better suited for the ACT or SAT. Our reports also highlight specific areas of growth/focus for each student. Having this knowledge will ensure that your tutoring sessions are more targeted and individualized to suit your needs – it saves time and money and allows you to improve your scores faster.
Results for our SAT/ACT Diagnostic test are available immediately. Scores for our SAT and ACT practice tests are usually available the next day.
Unfortunately, AP Exams are also stylized tests, and good grades in AP classes don’t always translate to the AP Exams. We recommend that all students who are signed up to take an AP exam do some sort of exam-specific preparation ahead of time.
Because the SAT and ACT are, to a large degree, performances, and students have to learn how to perform well on them. Further, they test math and grammar in a somewhat “tricky” way that is completely unfamiliar to students when they first take a diagnostic test. Students need to learn the style and “language” of these tests in order to feel more comfortable with them and, ultimately, score well.
Many of our tutors have been working in the academia field for more than 8 years; some of our tutors have been working for more than a decade. Our team is comprised of full-time tutors as well as part-time tutors whose full time roles are as teachers or professors. Each of our tutors has been trained in our internally-developed and tested curriculum.
On average we improve ACT scores by 4+ points and SAT scores by 150+ points. We’ve also seen gains of up to 11 points on the ACT and 540 points on the SAT. Every tutoring experience is deeply personalized to each student – whether that’s a student striving to close a gap of a few points or a student trying to make a big leap. Given this, we can’t guarantee a certain increase because each student’s needs are vastly different.
