All of our test-prep tutors are credentialed teachers who tutor the portion of the test that is in their specific area of expertise. We try to be as flexible as possible with regard to tutoring session times. We understand that many students have very eventful and busy schedules, and we are pleased to accommodate each student's needs. We schedule lessons on a first-come, first-serve basis, and we’re available seven days a week, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Short-Term Test Preparation

We recommend that students meet with our tutors at least twice a week (if needed) for approximately 10-15 tutoring sessions of 1.5 hours to 2 hours each. This type of short-term preparation requires that the student be able to dedicate a considerable amount of time and effort to the task at hand. Homework will be assigned by the tutor, and as the test date approaches, several practice tests will be administered in order to gauge the student's progress. The average homework time is two hours per lesson for three weeks.

Long-Term Test Preparation

Some students prefer to make sure they are prepared well before it comes time to take the actual test. By starting tutoring sessions early, students will get a head start on the rest of their classmates, making sure they are ready for all aspects of the test. This type of long-term preparation is especially helpful in verbal sections, where a strong vocabulary can make an incredible difference in a atudent’s scores. Private test prep is available in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego.
