No two students begin with the same scores, struggle with the same questions, or work toward the same goals.  Individual test prep allows us to focus on what your student needs, move at the pace that works for them, and build a preparation plan around their timeline.

GET STARTED WITH 1-ON-1 PREP

Spend time where it can make the greatest difference. Instruction can focus on the content areas, question types, and testing skills your student most needs to strengthen.

Individual preparation makes room for individual needs

Targeted

Build preparation around school, activities, application deadlines, and upcoming test dates—with both in-person and virtual options available.

Flexible

Adjust the pace and focus as your student progresses. We can slow down when a concept needs more attention and move forward when they’re ready.

Responsive

Focus on what matters most.

If your student is confident in Reading and Writing but struggling with Math, they don’t need to divide their time equally between the two. Individual tutoring allows preparation to concentrate on the areas with the greatest opportunity for growth.

Why choose 1-on-1 test prep?

Work toward their score goal.

A student establishing foundational skills needs a different plan than a student pursuing a highly competitive score. Preparation is shaped by your student’s starting point, goals, and timeline.

Move at the right pace.

There is time to revisit a difficult concept, work through a question in more than one way, or move ahead when your student is ready. The pace does not have to be determined by the rest of a class.

Ask questions comfortably.

Some students hesitate to speak up in a group or learn best in a quieter setting. Individual sessions give students direct access to their tutor and space to work through questions without added pressure.

Fit preparation into a busy schedule.

High-school students are balancing classes, activities, sports, jobs, and college applications. Individual tutoring offers more flexibility than a class with predetermined meeting dates.

Your student doesn't need to study everything equally.

They need to study the right things.

Individual test prep helps students identify where to focus their time and attention.  That may mean rebuilding a foundational skill, practicing a particular question type, strengthening pacing, learning to use available testing tools, or developing a strategy for approaching an entire section.

From starting point to test day.

1 - Establish a baseline

2 - Define the goal

3 - Build the plan

We begin with existing SAT, ACT, PSAT, or PreACT scores—or arrange diagnostic testing when a current baseline is needed.

We consider the student’s target score, potential colleges or scholarships, upcoming test dates, application deadlines, and available preparation time.

The tutor identifies the content areas, question types, testing tools, and strategies that deserve the most attention.

4 - Prepare and reassess

During individual sessions, students strengthen skills, practice strategies, and receive direct feedback. Practice results and tutor observations help us monitor progress.

05 - Adjust as the student grows

The plan can change as skills develop, scores improve, goals shift, or a new test date approaches.

Simple, flexible pricing.

$75 per hour.

No one-size-fits-all package is required.

Some students need focused preparation before an upcoming exam. Others benefit from a longer timeline with time to build foundational skills, practice consistently, and adjust their plan along the way.

Because each student’s starting point, goals, and timeline are different, our 1-on-1 test prep is billed hourly. Families can choose a preparation schedule that reflects what their student actually needs rather than purchasing a predetermined number of hours upfront.

✓ Individualized preparation
✓ Flexible frequency and timeline
✓ In-person or virtual sessions

Preparation that fits into real life.
