GET STARTED

Our Process

1

Get baseline test scores

You can take a mock test with us or use your scores from previously administered official tests. We recommend taking both an ACT and SAT so we can help you decide which test is best for you.

2

Decide which program is best

This depends on a number of factors, such as when you will take the test, what your baseline scores are, how much time you can allocate to studying, and more. We also offer tutoring by the hour if you’re not sure.

3

Match with the best tutor

Based on your strengths and weaknesses, as well your learning profile, we match you with the tutor who will best meet your needs to ensure maximum score improvement.

4

Tutoring begins

Sessions are typically once per week but scheduling is flexible, as is session length. You’ll have homework in between each session, including practice sections, full-length mock tests, and drills focused on target concepts.

5

Take your test!

Once you get your scores back, let us know what happened. We guarantee our work. If your score doesn’t increase by the guaranteed amount, we provide up to 6 hours of complimentary tutoring before the next test date.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear, straightforward answers to common questions about our tutoring and test prep services.

How do I schedule a baseline practice test?

If you are a new or prospective student, please complete the form at the bottom of the page to request a mock exam. The ACT and SAT mock test is free with the purchase of any SAT & ACT Test Prep program.

Which test should I take, the SAT or the ACT?

We recommend taking a baseline test for both the ACT and SAT. This allows us to compare your scores and help you decide which test plays to your specific strengths and will yield the highest potential score.

Are the tutoring sessions in-person or online?

We offer both in-person and online tutoring options to best fit your schedule and learning preferences.

How many mock tests will I need to take?

Unlimited mock tests are included with all of our programs. However, to qualify for the money-back guarantee, you must take a specific number of mocks depending on your program tier: 4 mocks for 25 hours, 6 mocks for 40 hours, and 8 mocks for 60 hours.

How much homework should I expect between sessions?

We assign homework between each session, which typically includes practice sections, full-length mock tests, and drills focused on target concepts. Consistent practice is the key to significant score increases, which is why completing your homework is a requirement for our money-back guarantee.

How does online tutoring work?

Our online tutoring sessions are highly interactive and conducted via secure video calls. You will receive the exact same high-quality instruction, custom curriculum, and mock test access as our in-person students, with the added convenience of learning from anywhere.
