The summer course covers you all the way up to the start of school in September. It organizes your math studies and requires you to demonstrate skills in each math topic before advancing to the next set of skills, but you still have some flexibility to set your pace. Furthermore, we make sure you are sharp for your exam and offer you access to replay classes right up until the time you take the exam. 

Absolutely not! After you complete the 10 lessons and pass all required exams, you still have access to all course material and class replays all the way up to your exam. This a compelling and unique part of the course design because we believe your practice and preparation does not end with the lesson plan and should carry right up to exam day. 

Absolutely! Whether you are an individual tutor or a larger tutoring group that wants to offer a powerful, affordable online solution for your tutoring and even customize portions to your unique course, deliver depth and breadth of practice material, and offer the most comprehensive diagnostic tools available then feel free to Contact Us for more information.

Your bandwidth is an important component and it is advised you have access to greater than 1Mbps internet service. Most any high speed cable modem service will suffice. Chrome, Safari and Firefox browsers are supported. Also, it is advisable you utilize a device with good screen size and set aside quiet space to take your lessons where you can take notes. Furthermore, we advise using a headset with microphone, but your built-in computer microphone and speakers are often sufficient for most late model computers, laptops. etc.

The course begins as soon as you sign up. Students will have to begin with a personal assessment survey and an introductory exam, but then they can begin to study, work on passing the required exams, asking questions and joining in on live class tutorials.

We strive to include only high quality tutors in our courses. What exactly does that mean? Tutors must meet the following requirements.

• Experience teaching Math or English, as appropriate, at a level above the requirements for the exam.
• Graduated from a leading university and often our tutors are also prior students of specialized high schools who also excelled on the exam.
• Experience at major tutoring organizations is not a requirement, but is typical among our tutors.
• Achieved excellent scores on standardized tests like the SAT, AP, etc.
• Rated highly by third party services and passed background checks.
• Share a general enthusiasm for the job and patience for working with students.

We do not screen students for admission. We believe every student who wants to prepare should have a quality, affordable option available. Just bring your enthusiasm and get ready to put in the time and effort! Many courses require admission, but that is tantamount to only accepting students who are already most likely to succeed. How do you know if the tutoring course is any good or if the pre-screened students would have excelled anyway? We do not believe in screening students before classes begin. It only compounds differences in prior academic course levels rather than inspiring the inherent potential ability of under-represented groups at the specialized high schools.

Does it really matter? My grandma used to say never look a gift horse in the mouth! It’s a great deal and for many that is probably enough, but if you are reading this I suspect you are curious. For starters we do not operate with the same overhead. Additionally, when you participate in a tutored course you are paying a high hourly rate for every minute whether your student is interacting with the tutor, just listening asynchronously to the teacher lecture, or sleeping. Okay! We hope he/she is not sleeping, but you probably should not pay much for the asynchronous lecture either because many services, including our own, provide that value add for a low or nominal cost. Furthermore, even struggling students often have a good handle on 50% or more of the course material. Good students may know 80% or more of the material well. Why pay for dozens of hours at a high hourly rate to cover material your student has already mastered? We liken that model to broadcast TV. You have to watch everything the station delivers and only what they deliver when they say they will deliver it. We prefer the internet where users can optimize and choose the services they need when they want them.
