Frequently asked questions
SAT or ACT — which should my student take?
We help every student figure this out in Week 1 using diagnostic data. The SAT tends to reward careful, methodical test-takers; the ACT rewards speed and breadth. Most students have a natural lean — we identify it early so no time is wasted prepping for the wrong test.
How long is each session?
Sessions are 60 minutes, one per week as part of the 10-week program. Students who want to accelerate can add a second weekly session — we'll adjust the program timeline accordingly.
What if my student finishes the 10 weeks before their test date?
No problem. We schedule the program to peak right before your student's test. If the test is further out, we can pace the program across more weeks or add additional practice test sessions between structured weeks.
Do you guarantee a score increase?
We don't guarantee specific numbers — no honest tutor should. What we do guarantee is a structured, personalized program based on proven methods, with consistent tracking. Students who complete the full 10-week program see an average +180-point improvement on the SAT.
Can sessions be online or in-person?
Both. Online sessions are $85/hr via Zoom. In-person sessions in San Diego County are also $85/hr for SAT/ACT prep. Location and format can be decided when you book your first session.
Is this program good for juniors taking the SAT for the first time?
Yes — this is our most common scenario. We typically recommend starting 10–12 weeks before the target test date. Juniors who start in the fall are in great shape for spring SAT/ACT dates.
