Test Prep Tutoring
The Key to Unlocking Success in Educational and Professional Settings
Tests can be the most stressful events in a student’s educational career. They often determine the grade for an entire class, and subsequently affect the student’s placement in other classes. In addition, tests like the SAT® or ACT determine which colleges a student will be accepted into, and tests like the MCAT or GRE can decide a person’s future career prospects! For this reason we offer test preparation tutoring for all major exams. Students can choose both private test prep and online tutoring sessions depending on their preference.

Overcoming Test Anxiety: Solutions for Students
Test anxiety is a natural response to testing situations. It is common in students, as nearly 40% of students report feeling some form of moderate to high test anxiety. Now, keep in mind that test anxiety is not merely nervousness—it can cause students to freeze-up on tests.
Test anxiety causes students to make mistakes they would not normally make under high-pressure circumstances. Their reasoning becomes jumbled as panic sets in, eventually causing them to score lower than their peers by an average of 12%! Test anxiety is a real issue that affects student performance in the short and long term. Thankfully, there is a solution.
What are the benefits of test preparation?
- Improves Understanding: Test preparation helps students better understand the material they are studying by helping them identify areas that need more attention and providing additional practice opportunities.
- Increases Confidence: Test preparation can help increase student confidence by providing them with practice and feedback that can be used to make certain that they are prepared and comfortable with the material before taking the actual test.
- Reenforces Learning: Test preparation helps reinforce the material that was learned in class and makes it easier to recall when it comes time to take the actual test.
- Improves Test Scores: Test preparation can help increase a student’s score on an exam by providing them with practice opportunities and allowing them to become more familiar with the material.
- Builds Study Habits: Test preparation helps students build good study habits that can be used for future tests and courses. The practice of studying and preparing for tests can help students develop better organizational skills and time management.
