Washington DC Test Prep for Standardized Tests

SSAT, ISEE, PSAT, ACT, GRE & SAT Test Prep Tutors Servicing DC, Northern Virgina & Maryland


The more preparation and practice a student has can substantially affect his or her score.  Mastering the content and applying proven test taking strategies are skills that can help students achieve outstanding results.  Our highly trained test prep tutors will provide your child the needed in-home, one-on-one attention to improve scores on these important tests.

We help students to comprehensively prepare for standardized tests such as the SSAT, ISEE, PSAT, SAT, ACT, and GRE.  We offer highly trained, qualified and caring test prep tutors in the Washington DC area who will customize instruction.  Our test prep tutors travel to students' homes in the DC area.

Test Preparation Program

Our first step in standardized test preparation is to determine each child's learning style and needs. We then hand-select a qualified test prep tutor who will best suit the student's personality and the determined content areas.  Our curriculum for most standardized test prep packages starts with a full practice test, administered at our office under standardized conditions. 

We provide each test prep tutor with a thorough analysis of the results that enables him or her to focus on areas in greatest need of improvement.  Once a student has completed 80% of his or her prep, we administer a final diagnostic test that allows us to troubleshoot last minute issues.  Sessions in our prep packages are all 1 1/2 hours long.

Our research into students' pre and post SAT scores reveal:

-80% of students receiving 12-15 sessions of direct test prep instruction increase an average of 100 points on the SAT

-80% of students receiving 7 sessions or less of direct test prep instruction increase an average of 50 points on the SAT
