Frequently Asked Questions
When should students start preparing for the SAT or ACT?

Each student receives a customized plan based on diagnostic performance, with lessons continuously adjusted based on progress and areas of need.
What role does the digital platform play?
The platform allows students to complete practice tests, targeted drills, and homework while giving instructors detailed insights into performance, timing, and engagement.
How do you track improvement?
We track progress across sections, question types, accuracy, and pacing, allowing for precise adjustments to each student’s preparation plan.
Do you focus on strategy as well as content?
Yes, we emphasize both subject mastery and test-taking strategies, including pacing, question approach, and time management.
How often should students meet with an instructor?
