SAT Questions

I would like to take SAT prep classes in the summer (I’m currently a sophomore). Which program has the best results? For example: Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, a private tutoring place, etc?

My 16 year old is very busy this coming spring and we could use some advice…

She has ballet on Tuesdays from 6:30 – 8:30
She has Tennis on Wednesdays from 7:00-8:00

The drivers ed classes are either on Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Wednesday, so obviously we need to do the first option BUT SAT Prep courses can be on these days, also. We can’t fit everything in! However, there is a smaller prep class on Sundays, but we are on the waiting list. The classes are 80 dollars, which is a great price.

Should we spend the extra money for private tutoring SAT prep so we can have it on Sundays or Saturdays? Any insight to this busy schedule would be great.

Ever take your kid to Sylvan? An SAT test-prep or tutoring center? Are you a student/ former student yourself who didn’t have her/his learning needs met?

I have decided to start my own tutoring business. The thing is, I want the name to really POP and I want to know how to make students and parents feel comfortable and listened to. I intend to offer full service tutoring. 24 hour contact (in case he needs help on a late night cram session or project), text messaging to remind the student of any important assignments coming up, and even help dealing with difficult teachers and anything of service to my clients. But I need help figuring out the most crucial aspects of outstanding private tutoring. (I want my tutoring to be like the hotels that leave those savory dark chocolates atop perfectly fluffed pillows!)

No story or suggestion is too big or small! Just tell me–what do you wish you saw more often in tutors/test-prep agencies. I truly appreciate your comments and life stories!

ok so im a junior takin sats in december and i signed up for 20 hours of private tutoring with kaplan. the reason is im smart (not to be conceited) but its really hard for me to be diligent in my room and actually study on my own. so im wondering if these 20 hours will actually help improve my score. thanks alot

I have tried a local tutor and my critical reading score actually decreased 20 points. I have a 620 and am looking to improve my score to the 700 range. I am a motivated student who did all the homework that was assigned, yet I still didn’t improve. Please, I just need to know who is the best for private tutoring on the SATs for CR ONLY (I pulled an 800 Math). PLEASE HELP ME I WANT TO GO TO DARTMOUTH OR UPENN-WHARTON AND NEED A HIGH SCORE!!!!

I am planning to take this SAP preparation course. Not many people know about this . It is expensive ( at least to me) $ 2500

I am looking for suggestions with regards to SAT coaching in the summer
Are there any good summer programs geared for the SAT’s
Are there any private SAT tutors in and around the Memphis area, as my daughter would like to get some private tutoring for SAT II s
Any suggestions will be welcome

Well, I’m a high schooler in the 12th grade. I’m totally busy with this crappy thing called school. So I don’t have free time except in the weekends. I really need some private tutoring to be ready for the SAT.

If there’s anybody in ad Dhahran area, please don’t hesitate to tell me.
