Individual tutoring (25-hour package) Expect the most in-depth preparation and the highest score gains from these 25 hours of tutoring. The package includes:

• Initial student/parent conference to discuss a student's previous testing experience and college plans

• Fifteen one-hour individual tutoring sessions that provide in-depth practice on the skills tested by the PSAT and SAT, including test-taking strategies, math reviews, and vocabulary building

• Three full-length practice test sessions designed to gauge a student's progress at regular intervals

• Final student/parent conference to discuss PSAT and SAT results

Individual tutoring for the October PSAT and the November SAT starts as early as June.  This 25-hour program starts as soon as possible in the summer.  Weekly meetings of an hour to an hour-and-a-half are set up around a student’s schedule.   These weekly meetings continue once school starts and last through the November SAT.  Full-length practice PSATs or SATs are administered every three to four weeks.  Rates are as follows:
