Langley Prep offers private SAT/ACT virtual coaching with a customized approach to achieve the maximum score improvement possible. It is more intensive than regular test prep/tutoring and is only recommended for highly motivated juniors and seniors looking to maximize their scores:
SAT vs. ACT
I don’t recommend studying for both the SAT and ACT. While both exams have similar content, they are different enough in format to confuse students studying for both exams. Please note that colleges have no preference between SAT or ACT and students don’t get any brownie points for submitting scores of both formats.
I highly recommend that students pick 1 exam format and put 100% focus on it. For those students who are undecided, I will help determine the most appropriate format for them. This occurs before any sessions begin. After determining which exam format (SAT or ACT), students should sign up for 3 exam dates for the following reasons:
Study Time
All homework will be assigned on the student’s calendar so there is no confusion. Students will also be required to take an average 3-4 practice exams before sitting for the real exam. Students take these exams themselves on non-session days (preferably a Sat/Sun morning).
Sessions
I do both Skype and in person coaching, but the majority is over Skype. There is no difference between the two formats in terms of score improvement. I do in person coaching on a case by case basis. To learn more about in-person coaching, please email Info@LangleyPrep.com.
All sessions are 60 minutes. The number of sessions is dependent on the individual student's situation, but on average between 17 sessions. The number of sessions range from 1-3 per week depending on the student’s specific timeframe and schedule.
In terms of scheduling, sessions are staggered around the 2 exam dates. This ensures students do not get rusty between the first and second exams. The majority of the sessions will be scheduled before the first exam. It takes 2-3 weeks from the test date for students to receive their scores. The remaining sessions will be used to identify key areas to improve from the first to the second exam.
Price
Pricing is based on the number of sessions:
Next Steps…
A $1,000 non-refundable initial deposit is required to reserve a student's spot. The initial deposit can still be made without knowing which test format (SAT or ACT). The remaining balance must be paid in full before sessions begin.
