SAT Test Prep – Small Group or One-on-One

SAT Test Prep at Excellence for College is unlike anything else available in Silicon Valley. We provide ongoing and detailed analysis of each student’s progress in more categories than other agencies. We figure out EXACTLY what is going wrong and apply a proven method to fix it. This allows us to personalize assignments that strategically target specific areas in need of improvement. Because of this, our students are able to achieve their full testing potential and highest possible SAT score.

 

Personalized One-on-One SAT Test Prep

Our one-on-one SAT Test Prep is customized in a way that consistently delivers results. Many tutoring agencies only provide a “score report.” That report typically shows how a child performed in limited number of pre-defined areas of the SAT practice test. At that point the student is simply tested again. At Excellence for College, we do things differently.

With each of our personalized assignments and SAT practice tests, our finely tuned analysis allows us to identify “trouble spots” within more categories than what agencies provide. We then strategically target these areas with specific assignments, and take it one step further as we build on skills by working them into the actual SAT test framework. In doing this, students gain practical experience using what they learn within the framework of the SAT test. Our track record is proven and our system works.

  • SAT Assessment Test
  • Personalized program with timelines, goals, and score tracking, updated every two weeks
  • Lessons in Critical Reading, Writing and Math – Built around your student’s specific needs
  • Weekly assignments customized for your student
  • Individualized vocabulary-building assignments
“I can’t believe that I started out our sessions with a 1600 and ended up with a 2200. All of the essay and critical reading torture truly worked miracles and I want to thank you once again for your help.”  Junior, Castilleja School

My daughter just found out she was accepted at Georgetown… And this is all because we found Amy to help her on the SAT. I thought that she would have to settle for one of her safety schools when she got an 1820 the first time…

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!
