How the Course Works: The course consists of six 2-hour sessions, with the last class scheduled a few days or couple of weeks prior to major ACT or SAT test dates. The skills needed to do well on either exam, ACT and SAT, are mostly similar, so the course is designed to prepare students for either exam. Six (6)practice tests and reference materials are provided by the studio.

  • Dates: TBD
  • Time: Saturdays; 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
  • Cost:  $499.00

Results: Students get an average improvement in their scores of about 3 points on the ACT and 200 points on the SAT – more for some and less for others. Improvement depends on various factors, especially a student’s effort; more practice and higher-quality practice usually means a more substantial improvement.

Testimonials: 

  • Very helpful and effective SAT tutor!!!! Being a student who had quite high scores already on the SAT and wanted to bring them up just that bit higher, I've had tutors before that weren't able to help me improve and simply had me sit there and do practice tests without offering much help or greater insight into the test. Ken was not one of these tutors. He was very good at figuring out what I needed to improve upon and remember during the test, and it never felt like I was wasting my time with him. I just took the SAT again this week and multiple times during the test, I found myself facing problems I was sure I wouldn't have been able to do had it not been for his tutoring. Well worth the time and the money, for certain. Overall excellent!!
  • Excellent fit for my kids and encouraging Tutor. Ken helped my somewhat reluctant children become more enthusiastic about studying for their SAT. He provided pre-work and was very organized. He has a good methodology for specifically helping my children prepare for their upcoming test.
  • Great tutor for my son. Ken did a great job of preparing my son for the ACT and SAT. He communicated extremely well with both of us after each tutoring session, letting us know what they accomplished in the tutoring session and what my son needed to work on. I strongly recommend him!
