Private SAT Tutoring: Industry-Leading SAT Score Increases

Home > Test Prep Tutoring > SAT Tutoring

A Letter From Our CEO

Dear Parent -

I recognize that the decision to invest in SAT tutoring is often a difficult one, given all the options. In light of this, my goal is to explain what sets 探花精选's tutoring for the SAT apart.

What Matters Most: Our Results
Every company claims to have the best tutors or the best curriculum, but the real measure of those things comes down to just one thing: their average SAT score increase. In test preparation there is a rigorous third-party measuring stick: you have a PSAT score and an SAT score, and the difference between the two is your increase. Yet most companies are unwilling or unable to disclose this critical number.

At 探花精选 we're proud to talk about our results: on the SAT our students increase an average of 124 points, while our ACT students increase an average of 3.9 points. And many of our students' results are literally double those averages.

A Close Second: Our Guarantee
If I purchase something from a company and it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, I expect that company to make good on its promise. To me and the people here at 探花精选, standing behind your product in this way is just common sense.

Where many companies offer little or no guarantee, we're proud to have always backed our SAT tutoring with an industry-leading one: if your child completes our Standard Program and doesn't improve by at least 140 points, we'll provide you with an additional 18 hours of SAT tutoring for a subsequent exam for free.

And if you choose to work with one of our most experienced online SAT tutors, we'll raise that guarantee amount to 220 points. These instructors have over 2500 hours of tutoring experience with us, and are some of the most experienced test prep tutors in the industry.
                                        _______________________________________________

I welcome you to learn more about our SAT tutoring. We're very good at what we do, and we would welcome the opportunity to work with your family.

Sincerely,

An Approach that Addresses Your Child’s Specific Needs

When a program is designed to address the individual needs of each student, it is called Differentiated Instruction. We’re a leader in Differentiated Instruction and have structured our programs to create a personalized learning path for each student. This means your child’s SAT tutoring program will focus exclusively on those areas where he or she needs the most help. We accomplish this in three ways:

One-to-One Tutoring

Private tutoring, by definition, is Differentiated Instruction. A private SAT tutor can focus on specific strengths and weaknesses and move through content areas and strategies at a pace that is appropriate for your child. And since SAT tutoring provides a safe environment for your child to ask questions and admit when he or she is confused, the instructor is well-positioned to identify and address problem areas.

Assessment Technologies

Before meeting with the tutor, your child will take an initial Practice SAT. This exam is run through our diagnostic software to provide a detailed report of your child’s performance in different content areas and question types. The SAT tutor then uses these results to focus the program on your child's specific needs. As the program continues, your child will take additional practice tests to ensure that he or she is progressing as expected.

Curriculum Mapping & Personalized Homework

Homework is an essential component of test preparation - the more you practice the better your scores. As a result, we developed Curriculum Mapping technologies that use your child's SAT Practice Test data to create a Personalized Homework Plan with practice problems tailored to his or her current mastery levels. As your child improves, the system presents increasingly difficult material to ensure that he or she is appropriately challenged throughout the program.

How We Achieve
Our Industry-Leading Results

Proprietary Curriculum

We're experts in the SAT, and make sure that our proprietary curriculum is always up to date with the most recent changes.

Program Oversight

Your Program Manager will monitor your child's progress and, if necessary, work with you and your SAT tutor to make adjustments.

Exceptional SAT Tutors

We're extremely selective for intellect and teaching ability, and unlike many other companies, we provide comprehensive training.

Matching Process

We'll work with you to find the right tutor match: someone who can explain difficult concepts and motivate your child.

Practice with Real SATs

Practice and familiarity are essential to earning a stronger score, so we provide a minimum of three full-length Practice SATs.

Score Increase Guarantee

The vast majority of our students meet their goal the first time, but if you don't, we'll provide 18 hours of tutoring for the next exam for free.

You (and your family) are busy

To be effective, an educational program has to work with your family's schedule. We make life easier by bringing the tutoring to you through two convenient options:

In home sat tutoring

Our flagship program, which we launched in the late 1990's, our in-home SAT tutoring option provides you with the unparalleled convenience and personalized attention of a private tutor who will work with your child right at your kitchen table. All lessons are one-to-one, and your SAT instructor will ensure that each session is highly focused on your child’s unique needs.

Online SAT Tutoring

Instead of meeting at the kitchen table, your child and the tutor meet in a custom online learning environment. This innovative tool enables them to talk through strategies and complete practice problems, just as they would on a workbook at your kitchen table. Online SAT tutoring replicates the in-person tutoring dynamic, and it’s remarkably effective.
