AP tutoring sessions deliver personalized instruction, supporting students as they master advanced coursework and achieve high scores on AP exams. Tutors develop tailored study plans, reinforce key concepts, teach effective multiple-choice and FRQ strategies, and help students build long-term academic skills and confidence.
Our Digital SAT tutoring focuses on breaking down the question types in each section and teaching the test-taking strategies and techniques that go with them. The SAT format recently changed and now includes an adaptive learning component. You can read more about this HERE. Other changes include a fully digital format, combining Reading and Writing into one section, shorter Reading passages with one question per paragraph, calculator usage on the entire math section, and a shorter test duration. A new format requires new test-taking strategies in addition to a thorough understanding of Standard English Conventions, Craft and Structure, Algebra I and II, Data Analysis, Geometry and Trigonometry, etc.
Since both the SAT and ACT are content-based exams, tutors will help students set up comprehensive study plans, as we see the best results when students make a commitment to completing practice problems and other homework outside of tutoring sessions. This includes a licensed membership to IXL through Archimedes so that students can drill foundational skills, if needed.
The ACT has updated to a new digital format called the Enhanced ACT. This format is shorter, allows for the use of the DESMOS graphing calculator, and has an optional Science section. You can read more about the changes HERE. The ACT will continue to not have an adaptive learning component. Our ACT tutors will continue to focus on breaking down the question types in each section and teaching the test-taking strategies and techniques that go with them. Tutors will ensure that students have a complete understanding of Standard English Conventions, Analyzing Structure and Word Choice, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Plane Geometry, Coordinate Geometry, Trigonometry, reading and analyzing prose fiction, social science, humanities, and natural science passages, etc. For students who choose to take the Science section, tutors will add additional focus on data analysis and research summary skills.
We also offer college counseling, college essay, and college admissions support tutoring. Tutors will help students identify who they are, what their goals are, what experiences have made them who they are, and what they feel they can contribute to the greater good. It’s easy to feel pressure to create the “perfect” essay, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. We will not only give students insider tools to approach essay writing, but also make the experience creative and exploratory. Students will complete college essay/admissions tutoring with a better understanding of their own experiential offerings in addition to original, dynamic college essays easily utilized for many different admissions packets.
