Vint Hill Educational Services offers test preparation for the ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, and AP tests. Each session is one-to-one for individualized support. The tutor will assign one to two hours of test prep homework after each session. The sessions are ninety minutes in length and test prep materials are included. The tutor will focus on the student's weakest areas of the test. In order to ensure improvement, the student will continue to take full-length practice tests throughout the course. The student will also learn tips and test-taking strategies.
TUTOR SELECTION PROCESS
We don't just assign any available tutor; we actually hand-pick the best tutor for your child. Before accepting the tutor, parents receive a tutor bio to review and approve. The tutor matching process consists of the following: subject area knowledge, tutor education, tutor personality, tutor background, student weaknesses, student schedule, and tutoring preference (in-home, public library, Panera Bread/Starbucks, or at our offices).
ACT OR SAT - WHICH TEST SHOULD YOU TAKE?
For ACT and SAT prep, the student should take a full-length practice ACT and SAT, in order to determine which test is best to prep for. The goal is to find out which test is better for each individual student. What we've found, is that one-third are better suited for the ACT, one-third are better suited for the SAT, and the last third are comparable. We'll use our score concordance chart and let you know which test the student is scoring higher on.
TAKE A PRACTICE TEST AT HOME OR AT OUR OFFICE
We can email diagnostic full-length practice tests to take at home or at a library; for the ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, and AP tests. Parents will receive a free score report - view sample reports: ACT, SAT, SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT. You can also contact us to reserve a mock practice test session at our office. Proctoring fees will be applied upon mock test registration. Visit the mock testing section of our website to learn more.
Upon purchase of a test prep package, the additional practice tests are included with the materials.
