One-on-One Tutoring for More Attention

The personalized attention our students require is possible when work is done one-on-one. Whether SAT or ACT test prep, AP and Honors work, or tutoring for a specific class or academic goal, the private work we do with our students is essential. It is simply the most effective path to targeted learning and top scores

Please Note: In the summer we offer Small Group classes for SAT & ACT test prep and to preview Honors and AP classes that students will take in the fall. If you have questions about our summer programs or would like to sign up early for classes slated for  Summer 2015 – Please call 408-823-9999, or email us at your convenience.

6 Benefits of One-on-One Tutoring

  1. With one-on-one tutoring we are better able to focus attention on the student’s specific needs and to provide the finely tuned analysis that allows us to best isolate areas in need of targeted work.
  2. Personal instruction and focused attention draw each student to the top of their game.
  3. One-on-one tutoring allows us to tailor each session to the learning style of your student.
  4. For the SAT and ACT, students receive take-home work designed to strengthen the specific areas in which they need work and to determine whether they are mastering the material being taught.
  5. Personalized attention makes the most of your student’s valuable study-time. This is especially important for students looking to maximize their SAT or ACT test score. Rather than mindlessly re-testing with the hope that scores will increase, our detailed analysis allows us to provide take-home assignments created just for your student. By doing this, we hone the areas in need of the most work. This puts your child in a position to achieve the top score, or top grade they desire.
  6. While one child may require a minimum in overall preparation with specific attention in one particular area, another may require highly intensive work by subject. Through private tutoring we can dedicate the time required to focus on your student, their personal needs and individual goals.

Amy quickly assessed what she (my daughter) needed to boost her (SAT) score… I didn’t totally believe that this was going to translate into a real score improvement on the official test. But it did (2360) and my little girl is on her way to Georgetown!
