Before our first meeting, the student takes a practice test. During the session, we focus on questions the student missed and the strategies needed to improve on those sorts of questions. Then, the student takes another practice test, so that we can track improvement as well as identify continuing challenges. We repeat this process until we see the target score!

I send the student an invitation to a Zoom meeting. When we are both in the room, I authorize a screen share such that the student and I are both working within Microsoft One Note. There I have various tests and passages that we can write on, type on, and highlight, as well as a dedicated page of observations for each student. At the end of each session, I save our work as a PDF and email it to the student, so that s/he can review later.

Some tutors are less expensive; others are more expensive. While the price to hire a college or medical student might be much lower, how secure will you feel about getting a good result? I have been teaching adolescents and young adults for over 30 years, have received multiple teaching awards, and have been doing test prep tutoring full time for 7 years. Students who work with me very quickly become the best versions of themselves as test takers. With high scores on the SAT or MCAT, many such students not only get into the universities or medical schools they want to get into, they also get scholarship money.

So what could be the cost of hiring a student, vs. hiring me? This could mean the difference between getting into one college or med school vs. another. This could mean receiving scholarship money vs. not. Hiring a professional like me involves making an investment in your or your child's future. The return on investment is the prize to keep your eyes on!

There isn't a standard answer, but based on my experience, the needs of most students can be met by one of the three pathways detailed on the SAT & PSAT PAGE. It all depends on the student's starting score and their willingness and ability to work independently between sessions.

While every individual student's path is different (which is precisely the point of private tutoring!), those three pathways can give you a sense of how things might unfold.
