Terms of Service

1.  Services*

*All services are offered a la carte, in addition to being bundled in our various courses and packages.

A.  Initial SAT/ACT Diagnostic Process - 1 to 2 Weeks*.

   i.  Each student will be given full-length practice test, either for SAT or ACT, and expert tutors will examine his or her results to determine best recommended course of action. 

  ii.  Student will have at least two one-hour one-on-one sessions with tutors for English and Math, who will precisely determine student's current status with various concepts and skills needed for the exams. 

  iii.  A final report will be presented to the parents and student outlining an in-depth analysis of the student's current status, including potential scholarships, and our reccomendations for further study.

*This process is included in price of standard 12-week course, (Standard Course), and also includes potential score we will guarantee for your student upon completion of said course.  If initially purchased separately, its price will be automatically discounted from that of the Standard Course.  Duration is largely determined by student's schedule when taking initial exam and meeting with tutors.  Report itself typically takes 1 to 2 business days turnaround.

B.  Standard SAT/ACT Course - 12 Weeks*.

   i.  Students will be given series of at least 5 diagnostic exams to continually track their progress throughout the program.  Each diagnostic exam consists of one practice exam, one-on-one diagnostic sessions with expert tutors in math and English, in-depth analysis of test scores, and summary report including suggested study guide.  (See Section A: Initial Diagnostic Process for more details on diagnostic process.)

   ii.  Each student will be assigned an accountability coach.  This coach will meet and get to know each individual upon beginning the program, and will ultimately be that student's primary point of contact with the tutors, as well as facilitator, homework parent (if needed), and general cheerleader.  Assigned coach will touch base with student each week before the seminar to gain diagnostic status, collect questions, and communicate that student's needs for the seminar to the tutors.  Coach will then follow up with student throughout the week via text and Facebook group to ensure all questions are answered and practice is completed.

   iii.  Each student will have access to at least three seminars and/or one-on-one sessions a week, each taught by experts in each field presented on the exam, and each typically lasting 90-120 minutes, including at least one hour of lecture and Q&A afterwards.  Topics will be iteratively chosen based on student's needs, progress, and tutor availability.  (If student elects to work towards optional SAT/ACT essay, approximately one English hour every two weeks will be spent one-on-one with essay coach.)

   iv.  Each student will be given access to private Facebook group for each subject.  This forum will provide additional support from other students, tutors, and accountability coaches to discuss confusion and ensure any remaining questions are answered.    

   v.  Tutors will be in constant contact with accountability coaches, as well as monitoring Facebook groups to ensure all questions are answered.  They are also available for one-on-one diagnostic calls if needed.

*12-week program typically requires around 10 hours per week by the student.  Program can be stretched to 24 weeks at same price, reducing commitment to 5 hours per week.
