SAT and ACT Prep in Sugar Land, Texas
An Approach that Addresses Your Child’s Specific Test Prep Needs
When a program is designed to address the individual needs of each student, it is called Differentiated Instruction. We’re a leader in Differentiated Instruction and have structured our programs to create a personalized learning path for each student. This means your child’s SAT tutoring program will focus exclusively on those areas where he or she needs the most help. We accomplish this in three ways:
One-to-One SAT and ACT Tutoring
Private tutoring, by definition, is Differentiated Instruction. A private SAT tutor can focus on specific strengths and weaknesses and move through content areas and strategies at a pace that is appropriate for your child. And since SAT tutoring provides a safe environment for your child to ask questions and admit when he or she is confused, the instructor is well-positioned to identify and address problem areas.
Assessment Technologies
Before meeting with the tutor, your child will take an initial Practice SAT. This exam is run through our diagnostic software to provide a detailed report of your child’s performance in different content areas and question types. The SAT tutor then uses these results to focus the program on your child's specific needs. As the program continues, your child will take additional practice tests to ensure that he or she is progressing as expected.
Curriculum Mapping & Personalized Homework
Homework is an essential component of test preparation - the more you practice, the better your scores. As a result, we developed Curriculum Mapping technologies that use your child's SAT Practice Test data to create a Personalized Homework Plan with practice problems tailored to his or her current mastery levels. As your child improves, the system presents increasingly difficult material to ensure that he or she is appropriately challenged throughout the program.
