A veteran in the fight against standardized testing stress, I know the ins and outs of the ACT/SAT system. With over 17 years experience, I've explained virtually any kind of problem to virtually every level of student. Nearly two decades spent working with high school kids have given me a deeper understanding of the things that really stand in the way of a student's success: confidence and familiarity with the test format.
Recognizing this, the Mr. Test Prep approach includes NO HOMEWORK, only practice tests taken in an environment that simulates the conditions of the real thing. This not only familiarizes the student with the test, it also allows the student to build confidence by watching his or her progress over the course of the sessions. Add to this an arsenal of mindfulness practices and psychologically proven stress-reducing techniques, and you have the secret of the Mr. Test Prep model.
Other tutoring companies pile hours and hours of homework onto students’ already busy schedules. Despite knowing full well that students rarely do tutoring homework and that when they do it's usually done as an afterthought, other tutoring companies still assign these time-consuming and often useless exercises. Why? So they have something to point to if or when the student doesn't get the score gains the parents are hoping for.
At Mr. Test Prep, we are so confident in our approach that we offer a score guarantee: if a student doesn't reach his or her potential after the agreed upon number of sessions, all future lessons are FREE. This means that by the end of the first diagnostic lesson, you know exactly how much the course will cost and what kind of score increase you can expect. No other tutor offers anything remotely comparable to the Mr. Test Prep guarantee.
