The SAT and ACT are stressful and confusing. For years, I have been tutoring students in the ACT and the SAT and have seen substantial score increases. I've had students score over 2300 on the SAT and this year had a 600 point increase over the three sections. (Usual disclaimers apply-those are my best results and not typical, but I usually get at least a 200 point increase on the SAT and a 5 point increase on the ACT.) For Netroots Nation, I offer a one-hour consultation with parents anywhere about the best way to approach college standardized tests, the best resources for a self-motivated student and what is reasonable to expect. (My web site has a lot of resources as well, and those are free!) If you live in Manhattan, I'll meet in person. Otherwise, it will be over the phone.
