Our tutoring process is unique and proven for consistent success, which allows us to get 200+ points score improvement on the SAT and 6+ points score improvement on the ACT:

• A regular student attends two 1-hour sessions per week for 16 weeks
• Each week, the tutor assigns the student a practice test as homework, which is reviewed during the 1-on-1 meetings the next week
• The student receives valuable feedback, data analytics, conceptual clarity, and test-taking strategies
• If the student’s score improvement becomes static, the practice tests are replaced by rigorous concept drills and subject-specific assignments
• If the student shows significant score improvement quickly, we can accelerate the official test timeline

We have an extensive internal ladder and tutor training system that allows us to systematically categorize our tutors in four belts (in increasing order of expertise) – Orange, Purple, Brown, and Black.

• Orange Belt – New tutors that have recently undergone our extensive training program and passed with flying colors! We highly recommend Orange Belt tutors to students who need continuos practice with high quality tutoring without worrying about their budget. A student with an Orange Belt tutor is recommended at least 4 hours of tutoring per week.
• Purple Belt – Experienced tutors with a proven track record of consistent success! With a strong grasp on academic concepts, Purple Belt tutors will make sure you are ready for all the challenges faced while solving problems.
• Brown Belt – Highly experienced tutors with a demonstrated record of successful scores and student relationships.

We don’t justify pricing by brand name or testimonials. We consistently train and upskill our tutors through regular student feedback and detailed metrics. As an online tutoring company, we extensively leverage technology to better your experience and optimize our operations.

Tutor pricing tiers are based on

• Student feedback received after each session
• Tutor’s educational background
• Tutoring experience measured by the total number of tutoring hours
• Client relationships (measured through our internal system)

The SAT and ACT are standardized tests given by students who wish to get admission into colleges and universities. The SAT contains four sections: Reading, Writing and Language, Math (w/ Calculator) and Math (w/o Calculator).  The ACT also has four sections: English, Math, Reading, and Science.

SAT questions tend to be lengthier, trickier and difficult to comprehend. It primarily tests a student’s ability to apply their knowledge in the real world. For the math sections, you will be provided with basic formulae. However, the last few questions of each math section are grid-ins, so you do not get answer choices to pick from.

The ACT on the other hand has straightforward questions that test your conceptual clarity more than the application. It allows a calculator throughout the math section but doesn’t provide formulae. It also has a Science section that primarily tests your technical reading and data comprehension skills.

Yes, you can! In fact, we recommend our students to take at least two official tests as most colleges allow for superscoring. What we do not recommend at all, though, is to take both the SATs and the ACTs simultaneously. Doing so disrupts a student’s time management for both the tests, giving an overall low score. Instead, it is always better to find what test is suitable for you and take it multiple times.

When you attempt a particular test (SAT or ACT) multiple times, you can get different scores for each individual section of the tests. Superscoring refers to combining the sections highest with your highest scores to get a cumulative ‘Superscore’. Here’s an example:

Jack scores 700 in Math (w/ and w/o Calc) and 650 in Verbal (Reading and Grammar) on his first attempt for the SAT. Unsatisfied, he attempts the SAT a second time, scoring 750 in Math but 610 in Verbal. So, now his SAT superscore is 1400 (750 Math + 650 Verbal).

While his single highest test score would have been 1360 from his second test, he instead got 40 points higher due to superscoring.

Most colleges in the United States accept superscoring, so we highly recommend taking a test multiple times to improve your chances for success.
