ACT & SAT Information

Our program begins with a free initial student parent consultation. During this time we want to ascertain the student’s strengths and weaknesses concerning ACT or SAT results. We also want to plan tutoring in accordance with the student’s goals. At A+ Tutoring we do not have a canned program but plan a preparation course to meet individual student needs.

Our 15 hour one-on-one tutoring for ACT/SAT is the best program available anywhere. Students will have ten 1.5 hour tutoring sessions in which they will concentrate on organizing and reviewing knowledge. In addition they will learn new test-taking strategies and skills to showcase their abilities by scoring well on the ACT/SAT. Tutoring sessions will be provided in our offices or in your home. Please note that a parent or adult must be present for at-home tutoring sessions.

This is a deluxe program for students with weak fundamental skills in math, grammar, reading comprehension and test taking. This program is definitely recommended for students who have difficulty studying on their own and who find it impossible to commit to more homework. The extra time is used to bolster and practice fundamental skills and provide extra practice and drill in problem areas.

It is hard to argue with success. The reason we are so successful is very simple. One-on-one tutoring, with its attention to specific student needs, puts the focus in the right place. At A+ Tutoring Service instruction is always at the appropriate level and pace for you. We are constantly able to adjust our instruction to meet your needs, to identify your problems, to teach the strategies that will help you overcome your weaknesses, and to give you ample opportunity to practice until mastery is achieved.

Vocabulary Development and Reading Comprehension

This is an excellent way to boost your verbal scores on the SAT and raise your ACT scores in Reading and Science Reasoning.

A+ Tutoring Service, LTD, also has several very successful reading comprehension techniques that produce efficient, effective reading and study habits. This course is available to 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th grade students. Not only are these skills essential for a fine ACT/SAT score, but they are also ßextremely valuable study skills, applicable to regular homework assignments. This program is 12 one-hour sessions and may be repeated until the student attains the level of achievement desired. In each 12 hour block of sessions the student will learn 500 new words and practice four reading comprehension techniques.
