SAT Prep
Our SAT Program prepares students for overcoming the challenge of the exam. Our program is comprehensive, underscoring the fundamentals as well as the more complex areas of each subject. This preparation program also helps students access and understand the ways in which questions are presented on the tests.
Students have a choice of individual sessions or they may participate in small group settings. The advantages of each approach are: one-on-one sessions allow for more focused time on each student’s individual needs in each area; small groups allow students to help and learn from each other, ask questions and learn from each other’s questions, examples, and shared experiences. Groups are small enough that students can still receive some individual attention.
Academic Success is an independent, privately owned tutoring center, which allows us to create a learning environment that meets the specific needs of each student. Therefore, if a student requires more focused attention in one area, such as math, he or she may choose to attend only math sessions; or if he or she needs more work on essay writing or vocabulary-building skills, he or she may opt for only the verbal/writing sessions. Many students find that attending both sessions helps them improve their scores dramatically.
Many students have realized much greater improvement of their scores when they did not wait until a month or two before their test dates to begin tutoring for the exam. The more a student works on the exercises we have designed, the more he or she is able to improve test scores.
Tutoring for the SAT also improves students’ grades at school. Our program reinforces the basics of each subject, and allows students to strengthen their overall performance in each subject. Since college admission boards look at school grades as well as SAT scores, many students find that starting tutoring early helps them with both grades and exam scores.
Tutoring in each of the programs we offer at Academic Success during all school years improves students’ grades and increases their chances of acceptance by the college of their choice. Our tutoring sessions and SAT preparation classes are mutually beneficial to students.
