LESSONS VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE: Bay Area /
CALL or
TEXT No customer service staff - You talk directly to me, the tutor. Absolutely Competent
and Talented Private Tutoring I am a
professional credentialed teacher with a Bachelor’s degree from
Students & Parents turn to me because other SAT ACT courses
and tutoring just don’t work With other places you get inexperienced tutors, awful teaching,
terrible explanations, only partial review of the concepts being tested, and
incorrect tips and strategies. I have personally taught and tutored the SAT & ACT to more
than 2000 students over 11 years. I am a professional credentialed high
school teacher, and my full time job is taking and teaching the SAT &
ACT. I've taken more than 40 SATs and 35 ACTs
myself. You simply will not find anyone who knows these tests and questions
better or has better teaching skills than I do with my years of high school
classroom and tutoring experience. As an Advanced Placement course teacher,
my students have only once chance to pass the high stakes AP exams, where the
best teaching is critical. You will learn the RIGHT way ( and the
wrong ways) to solve every problem on the SAT & ACT, not though guessing
/ strategies / tips / tricks / random luck. I will teach you things you cannot and will not learn from
books, self study courses, or other tutors: 1) how you compare to other students and how you are doing 2) what you are doing wrong, especially when you thought you
were doing it right 3) thinking, analyzing, and problem solving skills that you
didn't know is necessary to solve the questions 4) every lesson & course is adjusted in real-time based on
the student’s comprehension level 5) proper reading comprehension techniques so you understand
what the passage says 6) actual English Grammar so you can identify the grammar errors 7) a thorough review of all the Math you had no idea you didn't
know 8) science data analysis techniques and background material (
ACT only ) 9) the right way to write a compelling
high scoring essay for the SAT / ACT essay writing portion. 10) Real SAT and ACT exams, not fake ones 2) Math All Grades
K-12 Middle School & High School: Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, Algebra
2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus LEARN THE MATH YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO LEARN BUT DIDN’T BECAUSE OF
COVID19. We all know the pandemic pretty much
destroyed any learning the past 2 years. Students have fallen behind and they
have a lot to catch up on. Remote learning simply doesn’t work well for high
school classes. HOWEVER, Private Tutoring is a totally different story.
Students gain what they can’t from school online classes. I’ve been doing
online lessons since 2010, well before the pandemic came around, and I have
this down to a science! 3) English - Essay
writing / essay planning / research reports / term papers 4) College
Application Essays 5) Academic Success /
Study and School Skills Drowning in schoolwork and extra
curricular activities? Feeling helpless because you can’t take it all on? Balancing
and prioritizing your life is a key foundation to doing better in school and
not feeling overwhelmed. Learn how to take control and get organized so you
get things done and have a plan.
Students who already
took another SAT or ACT course and then come to me still increase their SAT
& ACT scores significantly
Many colleges are dropping the SAT
and ACT as an admission requirement because it’s “biased”, “racist”, “keeps
out low income qualified students”, and “doesn't predict college success”? Nope.
Colleges are in fact big business, and dropping the exams
has become a political issue, not an academic issue. April 10, 2021: As
predicted, dropping SAT & ACT testing requirements only means that
more students can apply to any college. Since the number of
vacant spots do not increase, it means a lower acceptance rate for all
colleges. Worse yet, since pretty much everyone has a 4.0 GPA anyways, grades
don’t really mean anything. |

You will improve your Math and SAT
ACT scores to the maximum possible of your understanding

of many high scores of my students The results speak for themselves Congratulations!
Congratulations!
No false claims. Proof right here:
Just one of my many students. Congratulations Kathy!
Teaching the SAT & ACT the Exceptionally Talented &
Experienced FULL-TIME SAT & ACT Teacher >> Logistical Details: ONE
TUTOR = A consistent, coherent, seamless course from beginning to end From the
beginning, you know who you are working with. Since the SAME PERSON developed
and wrote the study materials, planned out the course, does the teaching,
knows the student and their personal learning style, assesses the student’s
ability and performance, and receives feedback from the student, you get a
UNIFIED, COHERENT, CONSISTENT tutor and course. No material is repeated. GO
SEAMLESSLY from Topic to Topic - No separate teachers for each portion of the
test, and NO separate GO
SEAMLESSLY from SAT to ACT or ACT to SAT- No wasted time covering stuff you
have already done. Want to
know how your kid is doing? Other places give you a computerized printout. If
you call them, you will just talk to the office receptionist. You have
access to the tutor directly 7 days a week to find out how your kid is doing.
Just text! >> Unmatched depth of knowledge, experience,
and skill I am a
professional credentialed high school teacher who taught AP Computer Science
at a very competitive California Bay Area high school. I have
personally taken more than 40 SATs and 30 Acts ( over 210 hours of test
taking alone ) to analyze what is being tested. Because I
have taken analyzed so many exams, I
know what WILL show up, and what will NOT show up, so students don't waste
time learning unnecessary material My
full-time job 7 days a week for over 9 years has been teaching the SAT &
ACT- not 5 hours a week, not 10 hours a week, but every day all day long. I have
taught for various tutoring and test prep companies, and even trained other
tutors how to teach. My
courses and lessons are WELL-REHEARSED, MISTAKE FREE, and EFFICIENT because I
teach SAT & ACT problems every day. Every
lesson and explanation has been taught, refined, and re-taught SEVERAL
HUNDRED TIMES. Yes, I kid you not. >> Your lesson with me is
MANY YEARS IN THE MAKING, and is just the tip of the iceberg Attention
to detail: Everything matters, and there is a It takes
time to do things right. Just as with any well-rehearsed performance,
tutoring is not something you can just walk into. 1)
Several months are spent taking more than 40 SATs and 30 ACTs
( 3 hours a test x 70 = more than 210 hours ), and new ones as they become
available. 2) Weeks
are spent analyzing reverse engineering every test question and developing
proper solutions and explanations ( figure about 3 – 10 minutes per question
) 3) Each
solution to a problem is explained and taught to HUNDREDS of students with
live feedback, then reviewed and refined and
memorized. 4)
Several months are spent creating, writing, developing, and updating course
materials ( more than 200 pages of material ). 5) Before
each lesson, a customized lesson plan is put together just for that student 6) Actual
lessons are provided to students <<
( the part that you know about ) No
part-time tutor working only 5-15 hours a week is going to invest more than
200 hours taking tests, memorize questions, or have the experience of
teaching and refining solutions and
explanations Many people are not aware of the hard work, time, and energy
involved in creating the high quality courses that have given me my reputation.
It is
impossible for anyone, no matter how smart or brilliant, to walk-in and
suddenly become a tutor. What’s the result? Not knowing what they are doing,
confusion, inability to solve problems, answering questions wrong, and
reciting from an Instructor's Manual. >> Assessing student
performance and needs Parents
all think that their kid has some special unique situation. I’ve worked with
thousands of students, and I have seen pretty much all the types of “unique
situations” there are. There aren’t that many. There is
no need to tell me “my kid needs work on this area, and she’s good in that
area” and “my son is the type of person who tends to...” Please
relax. I know exactly what needs to be done. You’re dealing with a
professional, not someone who just started doing this. >> Real Teaching, Real
Learning I don’t
just recite from an instructor’s SAT ACT manual while the student stares at a
binder or a bunch of handouts ( talking textbook ). Students do not learn by watching and
listening to a teacher or tutor. In order to do what it takes on the SAT or
ACT, students need to DO the problems until they know it in and out. I teach,
and students will learn, the actual concepts and knowledge underlying the ACT
or SAT: real math
review, real English Grammar, actual reading comprehension skills, essay writing skills, scientific thinking
and analysis skills ( for the ACT ) - Total
understanding of every SAT or ACT reading passage, how to properly read, and
how to answer the questions. -
Complete understanding of how to solve every SAT or ACT math problem, and all
the math knowledge underlying every question. - Total
understanding of every grammar / English question, and the grammar rules
behind every answer. - How to
properly read and understand and interpret scientific data, charts, graphs
and experimental design for ACT Science. - The
right way to write the SAT / ACT essay, what you should write about, how you
should write it. Teaching
is NOT just sitting there correcting a test and GOING OVER THE WRONG ANSWERS.
What is
real teaching then? ( Other
tutors and test-prep companies – TAKE NOTE HERE. I do have a “Teach the Teacher Program” if
you want me train your instructors / tutors. I’ve worked with many public
schools and tutoring companies as a teaching consultant. Please email me for
further information ) - Based
on your abilities and deficiencies, I check and verify your problem-solving
to uncover questions you got right the WRONG way ( wrong logic/ luck /
guessing ). - Real
teaching mean knowing WHAT questions to ask the students - I ask
students questions ( students usually won’t ask ) to uncover mistakes - I don’t
just give answers but I will challenge students to think so that they
understand not only WHAT to do but also WHY they are doing it. I’m not
just teaching SAT & ACT. What you learn goes beyond these exams: real
critical thinking, problem solving, analytical skills, organizational and
proper study skills necessary to succeed in college and in life. These are
lessons that you do not learn in school or from textbooks. I will
challenge students to think so that they understand not only WHAT to do but
also WHY they are doing it.
I analyze
every student as we go, so I know where a student’s deficiencies are. No
slow-talking, boring lectures here. I move at the pace you need: faster or
slower Because I
have ALL of the material and more than 6000 questions memorized, the course
and lesson content and speed are actually CUSTOMIZED & ADJUSTED IN
REAL-TIME for each student, and even the explanations are customized to the
level of each student, something simply NOT POSSIBLE with any other tutor or
with a pre-structured course ( example: 3 Math lessons, 2 Reading lessons, 2
Essay lessons ). We will
spend more time on areas that need more work, and allocate less time to
higher scoring areas. Unlike
other places that have a rigid course, my courses and lessons are CUSTOMIZED
IN REAL-TIME. If
students are scoring high in certain areas, the lessons will automatically
adjust and adapt to focus on a student's weak areas, without sacrificing the
strong areas. Some
students are struggling and won’t be able to learn the more advanced
concepts. We skip those and focus on where the student can get the points. I also
adjust the difficulty of the material for each student, thus MAXIMIZING SCORES >> The RIGHT & Students
who score high on the SAT & ACT are actually good at solving the
problems, NOT because they know a few tricks and strategies. EVERY
SINGLE test question has been repeatedly analyzed, solved and explained to
hundreds of students, then re-checked to find the best possible methods. -
Explanations and solutions that are CLEAR, SIMPLE, DIRECT, and RIGHT. The
explanations are even adjusted JUST FOR YOU so you can understand. My
students learn the clearest, most direct, and CORRECT solution to each
question, and also learn what NOT to do. That also
means this: YOU DON’T JUST GO OVER THE QUESTIONS A STUDENT GOT WRONG. Many
students “got the right answer” as a result of luck / chance / guessing. I
actually know the problems and solutions better than College Board & ACT
Inc themselves, who only write the questions and BUT DON’T SEE HOW STUDENTS
SOLVE THEM. It’s impossible for them to know the wide variety of creative
guessing techniques that students will use to get the questions right by
luck. I’ve worked with thousands of students and seen pretty much every type
of mistake made. Students
can get a question wrong on several different levels, and without knowing
what is happening, students will not get better. It’s not
just a simple matter of “I don’t remember geometry”. That’s why those
computerized diagnostics test prep companies love to give are USELESS More than
80% of the time, students ARE NOT getting questions wrong because they don’t
know the math. What is going wrong is far beyond “Oh, I just need to review
these concepts”: they lack the problem
solving and critical thinking skills that OTHER PLACES SIMPLE DO NOT TEACH. Most
students even don’t know THAT they
are doing something wrong Other
students simply just don’t WHAT they are doing wrong. As we go
through problems, I will ANALYZE and DIAGNOSE what students are doing WRONG
in their approach and thinking, and make corrections. There is
a fundamental difference in the thinking of students who answer questions
correctly and those who answer wrong or get lucky. That's
why just explaining a problem ( self-study using a book or watching
videos ) is not effective. That is
also why just taking practice test after practice test without tutoring will
yield no further improvement beyond the practice effects of test-taking. (
That training method is only for students building endurance and who are
scoring 1500+ / 33+ who want a perfect 1600 / 36 ) >> I push EVERY student
mentally to the MAXIMUM of their ability in order to get EVERY LAST POINT This
isn't like taking golf lessons or cooking classes. You will be taken to the
limit of your mental ability. Very few
students have the discipline to "study" on their own. I am that
coach that pushes them to do more. Parents –
it won’t work coming from you. Based on
my extensive experience, I can tell you realistically what kind of score you
can get. I adjust
the lessons and take you as far as you can go. If you don’t improve with me,
you won’t improve with anyone else. >> 100% COMPLETE coverage of
all the concepts that will be tested – No more, No less Ever
wonder why your kid has good grades and yet bad test scores? The SAT
& ACT are designed to test specific problem solving abilities and
material that are not learned in high school classes. These
skills go to a DEPTH of analytical ability and critical thinking that most
students usually are NOT accustomed to except for the high scoring
test-takers. Getting
ready for these exams is like training for a triathlon. It’s a very different
approach. - Total
understanding of every SAT or ACT reading passage, how to properly read, and
how to answer the questions. -
Complete understanding of how to solve every SAT or ACT math problem, and all
the math knowledge underlying every question. - Total
understanding of every grammar / English question, and the grammar rules
behind every answer. - How to
properly read and understand and interpret scientific data, charts, graphs
and experimental design for ACT Science. - The
right way to write the SAT / ACT essay, what you should write about, how you
should write it. Unless
your tutor has taken at least 10 of the new SATs or ACTs
( and that’s 98% of the tutors out there ) they can’t possibly to know all
the types of questions and material tested on the SAT & ACT. Because I
have actually spent all that time taking and analyzing that many tests for
many years, I know what will be tested and will not, and I make sure you know. My
curriculum covers a COMPLETE, COMPREHENSIVE, IN-DEPTH 100%. I know what WILL
show up, and what will NOT show up, so students don't waste time learning
unnecessary material. All the
curriculum review materials have been written by me personally ( Yes – I
provide all the review materials to the students, and NO, it’s not 500 pages
of useless material ), and cover ONLY WHAT you need to know. Nothing more,
and nothing less >> Real SAT & ACT
practice exams only You need
to practice from the real exams. Why? Because the SAT & ACT questions are
written in a very specific way and test very specific problem solving logic.
Those fake SAT & ACT exams in books and given by other test-prep
companies might look the same, but fundamentally test something different. If you
are trying to get good at basketball, playing soccer just isn’t the same. >> NO LESSON TIME WASTED I have
literally memorized more than 50 HOURS OF TEACHING MATERIAL, making it
possible to skip forward or backward or go to any point of ANY LESSON at ANY
TIME. I can
skip right to the parts you need work on, without wasting lesson time going
over stuff you already know. No
student ever has to sit there wasting time going over material that they
already know. Even more
importantly, since I have the questions and answers memorized, NO TIME IS
WASTED reading over the question, thinking of a solution, then trying to
teach it. I can answer instantly. |

The false claims,
deceptive marketing, and teaching / curriculum problems with all the other
tutoring & test prep places What you THOUGHT you knew but
DON’T know about SAT & ACT test-preparation and tutoring:
If all
tutoring for the SAT & ACT was the same, logically you would just choose
the cheapest place. Unfortunately SAT & ACT courses and tutoring are
vastly different, and many tutoring and test prep companies lie and deceive
unwitting parents and students with clichés and buzzwords: FALSE “SCORE
IMPROVEMENT GUARANTEES”, FAKE “AVERAGE SCORE INCREASES”, and UNSUBSTANTIATED
claims of “BEST TUTORS” “ELITE INSTRUCTORS” “PROVEN METHODOLOGIES”
“GUARANTEED RESULTS”.
If you
are just looking for some cheap ( or outrageously overpriced ) tutoring, to
just "bump up SAT and ACT scores a little bit”, "get a few
test-taking strategies", or take test after test after test without any
teaching, then THIS ISN’T THE RIGHT PLACE FOR YOU. If you
want an inexperienced part-time tutor who never took the SAT or ACT, doesn't
have a structured course plan with review materials and handouts, can’t
actually solve the questions, gives WRONG test-taking strategies, or uses
fake SAT and ACT exams, then STOP. LOOK NO FURTHER. You should Google “SAT
tutoring” or “ACT prep classes” and go elsewhere.
Did you
know how your tutor was recruited? Probably a Craigslist ad just like this
one Anyone can be a “tutor” and start
tomorrow Unlike
becoming a teacher, lawyer, doctor, or accountant, THERE IS NO MINIMUM JOB
QUALIFICATION / CERTIFICATION / LICENSING REQUIRED to get hired as a tutor /
instructor other than “I think tutoring would be a flexible and fun part-time
job”. In fact, many people BECOME tutors for this exact reason: they do not have the necessary job
qualifications to get hired on for another job... But yet
MORE THAN 90% ( yes 90% ) these so called “Best Tutors” “Ivy-League
Graduates” “Perfect SAT 1600 / ACT
36 test-takers” “Top Instructors”
“Elite Teachers” “PhD professors” of SAT ACT tutors / instructors have NEVER
TAKEN the SAT or ACT themselves, cannot solve all the problems and can’t
explain to students ( don’t worry, there’s a handout you can read or just
Google it ), or just don’t know what they are doing ( don’t worry, those
companies just give tutors a teacher’s manual to read from )
Worse
yet, they use fake SAT ACT exams ( which are nothing like the real tests and
don’t even test the same concepts ), cover only a part of the SAT or ACT
exam, provide INCORRECT & FAULTY solutions to problems, and give students
WRONG “test taking strategies, tips, tricks” which ACTUALLY get questions
WRONG. If you
are a parent reading this now, and you think that test taking strategies will
increase your kid’s score and that’s what you are hoping your kid will learn
from a tutor, then I will save you some money now and tell you to just Google
“test-taking strategies” for free. You don’t need to spend money on a tutor. On top of
that, you don’t even get what you paid for. With valuable lesson time wasted
moving slowly, repeating material you already know, and sitting around doing
practice tests and other busy work ( something you can do at home for free ),
you realize that something isn’t right. The sad
truth is that most of the tutoring and test prep out there is so awful, you
are actually better off buying a book and doing self-study and saving your
money, or doing the free
Teaching is very serious matter.
You can’t just decide one day you want to be a tutor and just start tutoring. If it was
so easy then everyone could do it, and you could tutor your own kid and save
some money. Every
year unwitting students endure months of useless tutoring and classes for the SAT
& ACT while their parents throw away thousands of dollars
with little improvement, only to have to pay for a second or even third
SAT / ACT course.
“I didn’t
learn a thing in that class” “My SAT
scores stayed the same” “The
instructor didn’t know how to solve the question” “All they
taught me were some test-taking strategies” "It
was a complete waste of time." "The instructor couldn't
teach." "What
they told me was wrong." "The
real test was nothing like what we did in class." Spending thousands of dollars and
months of time sitting through SAT or ACT classes is bad enough. Doing it a
SECOND TIME because the first course was a waste of time is even worse.
Teaching
the SAT & ACT is not as simple as deciding one day that you need a
part-time job, seeing a Craigslist job posting, and just walking into a
classroom to teach. It's actually something that takes years ( yes, YEARS) of
practice, taking SATs and ACTs, and working
with thousands (yes, THOUSANDS) of students to get good at. Many parents and students learn a
real life financial lesson after wasting valuable time and money on SAT &
ACT courses which result in little to no improvement in SAT or ACT scores. No false claims. Proof right here:
This student spent $1500 on a class
No false claims. Proof right here:
Just one of my many students. Congratulations Kathy! In order to understand HOW we are
so good, you need to understand WHY those other places are so bad. THE PROBLEMS WITH THOSE OTHER
PLACES: Most tutors & instructors
don't know what they are doing and there are many Why?
Those other tutors & test prep places have inexperienced part-time tutors
who never even took the SAT or ACT, can't solve the problems themselves, lack
the ability to explain and teach, and just don't know what they are doing.
You would actually better off saving your money and buying a few books.
Really. >> Inexperienced,
Unqualified, Incompetent tutors /
instructors who can not teach confusing
explanations, WRONG & INCORRECT solutions and explanations >> Instructors / tutors who
never took the SAT or ACT and can’t solve the question themselves and can’t tell you what will
and won’t be tested on the SAT & ACT. Common sense should tell you that
no one can teach something that they haven't taken themselves. And certainly
no one should be teaching something when they can’t even solve the problems! >> Random tutors and tutors
who leave You
thought you were getting one tutor, but you ended up with another tutor.
Classic bait and switch. Secondly, when there are multiple tutors working
with the same student, it becomes a disorganized mess where the next tutor
has no idea what has already been done and what still needs to be done. Part-time
seasonal tutors are just that: They work during Summer Break or Winter Break.
They quit when they want, or go on vacation, or go off to college or graduate
school. Your kid still has several weeks to go, but suddenly your tutor is
gone. -
PART-TIME TUTORS It is
IMPOSSIBLE for any person, no matter how smart or brilliant ( even someone
scoring 2400 or 36 in one try without studying), to have the time to prepare
and review what is required to properly teach the SAT or ACT just by working
part-time 5 – 10 hours a week. - NEVER
EVEN TOOK THE SAT or ACT It is
IMPOSSIBLE for any person, no matter how smart or brilliant, to teach a test
THEY THEMSELVES NEVER TOOK - CAN’T
SOLVE THE PROBLEMS and thus CANNOT
teach the explanations - NO TEACHING ABILITY / UNABLE TO GIVE CLEAR
EXPLANATIONS
>> No Teaching -
“Tutors” just read off answers ( A B C D E ) from the answer key and read
from the instructor’s manual. \ - Self-study: you read explanations and
solutions in their handouts which are ACTUALLY OFTEN INCORRECT explanations.
It still amazes me that parents are willing to pay for tutoring to have their
kids are studying on their own. That’s the easiest tutoring job in the world
– they don’t have to teach anything! - Class
time is only spent on self-study or taking test after test, again more wasted
time that you could have done on your own. -
Instructor is little more than a room monitor >> Reviewing material based
on a computerized diagnostic If those
computerized diagnostics were right, then just reviewing those topics would
make the score go up, right? WRONG. Getting
the wrong answer isn’t just because a student doesn’t know that concept. It
goes to a deeper level: critical thinking and problem solving skills. Ever
wonder why your kid has good grades and yet bad test scores? Useless!
Useless
computerized diagnostic
Useless
computerized diagnostic
Useless
computerized diagnostic >> Wrong test-taking
strategies "Proven methods" that don't work and actually TAKE DOWN
scores “Proven
methods” “strategies” “tips” “tricks” “test-taking methods” that are actually BRING down scores because they
are WRONG. - Wrong
information about SAT & ACT question types and concepts tested Many SAT
& ACT courses just don’t know what they are talking about. “Don’t
waste time reading the passages. Skim and only read the parts they ask
about.” “For
English Grammar questions, choose the answer that sounds right” “For the
essay, always write five paragraphs, and start with a “hook” or “catch” “The
Earth is flat.”
This is
the best strategy I have ever heard “Listen for what SOUNDS WRONG... don’t
worry about why it’s wrong” That’s
some great advice.
>> Fake / simulated SAT or
ACT exams Fake
tests may look the similar but test different concepts and have a different
thinking and logic. The real
SAT and ACT questions test students with a very specific thinking, logic, and
problem-solving ability. So? The fake
tests cover different material, are a different level of difficulty, OFTEN
HAVE ERRORS ( even real tests which are proofread & reviewed on several
levels have errors ), and DO NOT HAVE ACCURATE SCORING because they have NOT
BEEN TAKEN BY THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS for a scoring curve The
following are actual fake tests
>> Irrelevant &
Unnecessary Material A waste
of time reviewing stuff NOT TESTED ON THE SAT OR ACT. You might
as well review some Calculus AB and US History while you are at it
>> Covering only part of
what tested on the SAT or ACT Unless
you have taken, analyzed and reviewed more than 10 actual SATs or ACTs, there is no way to know the scope and range of
tested material 60% - 70%
coverage of what is tested.
>> Quantity instead of
Quality So you
think just having your kid take 10 practice tests will increase their score?
How about 20 practice tests? If it was that simple and that worked, you could
just buy a book of practice tests. The
fact is taking test after test without going through the questions is
useless. First, you actually need to go through ALL the questions on the
test, not just the ones missed. Secondly, research has shown a person can
only meaningfully learn about 2 to 4 new complex concepts a day, which means
that any additional material being forced into a person’s head simply won’t
stay there. 50 to 80
hour courses just taking test after test ( each test is 4 hours long )
without learning anything. (You can do that for FREE, instead of paying those
places $1000). Merely taking tests without going through them is useless. 10 hours
of bad / wrong tutoring can’t equal 1 hour of good tutoring. >> Splitting classes up by
topic, separate tutors & instructors Many
places will have separate Read, Writing, Math, and Essay classes, and a
different instructor for each. Don’t
believe it’s because they have a This is
actually so no one instructor knows the entire course and steals clients. Also, as
a part-time instructor, it’s easier just to “teach” a small portion of the
material and go back to your regular life. What
really happens is you end up with a chaotic, disorganized, incoherent course, where students have to sit through
material they already know. This
created a problem my students never deal with: Do I need 3 math lessons, 2
English lessons, 1 Essay or 2 Math, 3 English, 2 Reading? >> The one-size fits all
LARGE CLASS where
students have to sit for hours each day and listen to stuff they already
know. >> Group Tutoring ( 2 to 5 students ) a logistical disorganized mess designed to
rake in profits It's
impossible to properly teach anything when you have 2 - 5 kids all working on
different tests, at different parts of the course. This is even WORSE than a
class because at least in a class everyone is doing with same stuff and going
through the same questions >> Wasted lesson time that
you paid for Other
tutors and test prep companies waste valuable lesson time by going over
material you already know, reading over questions and thinking of
explanations before teaching the students ( because they haven’t seen those
questions before ), talking very slowly, taking breaks, starting lessons late
and ending early, and having you sit there taking a test while the tutor
looks at his or her phone. Because
it’s impossible to predict how quickly or slowly a class will move, every
tutoring company pads leftover time with filler busy-work where no teaching
happens. Worse
yet, if there are rotating tutors, the new tutor doesn’t know what you have
already gone over, so time is wasted figuring that out, and more time wasted
repeating what was already done. Suddenly
that cheap tutoring wasn’t so cheap anymore. And that expensive tutoring just
got a lot more expensive. >> Outrageous,
unconscionable prices $250 per
hour? Yes, that’s how much Kaplan and No one
likes to see their money wasted. When you go to those other tutoring centers,
your money pays for the nice looking office, new tables and chairs, the copy
machine and microwave and mini refrigerator, the front office staff who look
at social media and shopping sites all day, and other expenses. Not here.
Everything goes straight into the tutoring.
$1000 per hour? $1500 per hour?
You can
look at the websites of other tutors & companies and listen to their
sales reps say how good they are and look at this website and read about how
good we claim to be. But it’s actually very simple: go get a
lesson from one of their tutors / instructors ( if they are willing to allow
it ), and get a FREE 15 minute SAMPLE lesson from me. You will know within
minutes.
Learn
about REAL versus FAKE SAT or ACT score increases Tutoring / Test Prep Companies
deceive & lie to unsuspecting parents & students every day: 1) Making up score increases
REALLY?
I’m sure you have the official College Board score reports from BEFORE and
AFTER to prove it? 2) Harder DIAGNOSTIC “SAT” or
“ACT” which gives lower first score Those
PRACTICE SAT/ ACT tests given at your high school are harder, fake tests,
designed to give lower scores. This test
looks so real. But it was given to students at a local high school. Very
fake, and gives much lower scores.
3) Deceptive score charts which
leads to lower first score - Giving
essays lower scores - Using
score charts which give lower scores
4) “Score Guarantees” to lure in
unsuspecting Parents & Students No one
can guarantee a score any more than they can guarantee admissions to UC
Berkeley And what
if you don’t get the guaranteed improvement? You just re-take the same course
that didn’t work
Really? In order
to get “Average Score Increase” that would mean EVERY student ( not just the
ones that improved the most ) that went to that tutoring company has to take
a REAL SAT or ACT ( not some fake harder test ), then take the course, and
without tutoring from somewhere else, take another REAL SAT or ACT, and then
on top of that, actually report the scores back. THE ( The Scientific Method: A lesson for all those test prep companies that
can’t do simple calculations correctly ) 1) Take a
real SAT or ACT JUST ( not a few
months ) before the course, trying to score as
high as possible. Don't
count lower SAT & ACT start scores if the student was tired or sick or
didn't really try. 2) Take
the course, AND DO EVERYTHING required. Don’t count kids who “slacked” or
didn’t complete the course 3) Take a
real SAT or ACT RIGHT after ( not
a few months ) the course, trying to score as high as possible. An increase of 300+ points on the
NEW SAT 2016 ( the old SAT was out of 2400 points ) or 8 points on the ACT
would actually RAISE SUSPICION and get a student AUDITED for possible
cheating. Here is
what a VERIFIED, GENUINE SCORE INCREASE looks like from one of my students:
Here is
what a VERIFIED, GENUINE SCORE INCREASE looks like from one of my students:
Another
student of mine started at 30 then went up to 34. Indisputable proof of score
increase.
HOWEVER, “AVERAGE SCORE INCREASES” are a useless
method of comparing SAT ACT courses Why? There are too many factors
that affect scores which have nothing to do with the tutoring itself: 1) Differences in motivation and
drive: Highly motivated hard working students will improve more. Student A
and Student B both score 1300 and have the same ability ( can reach 1450 ).
Then they both get the same tutoring. Student A is highly motivated, studies
hard and does all the homework, whereas Student B isn’t paying attention
during tutoring. Guess who is going to improve more? 2) Inaccurate starting baseline
score Student A
and Student B have the same ability ( can reach 1450 ). Student A didn’t
study at all and walked in and took the SAT scoring 1200. Student B went
through tutoring before taking the first test and scored 1300. Then they both
get the same tutoring. Guess who is going to improve more? 3) Fake Harder Diagnostic SAT
& ACT exams create a fake baseline Student A
and Student B have the same ability ( can reach 1450 ). Student A took a fake
harder diagnostic SAT and scored 1200. Student B took a real exam and scored
1300. Then they both get the same tutoring. Guess who is going to “improve
more”? 4) Students scoring higher to
begin with have less room for improvement Student A
took the SAT and scored 1200. Student B took the SAT and scored 1500. Student
A still has 400 points to go, whereas Student B can AT MOST improve 100
points ( the maximum score is 1600 ). 5) The SAT & ACT vary in
difficulty from test to test Student A
and Student B have the same ability ( can score 1450 ). They both took the
SAT on same date for real and scored 1300. They both get the same tutoring.
Student A and Student B take the SAT again, but different test dates. Student
A has a much harder SAT. Student B has a much easier SAT. Guess who is going
to improve more? Irrefutable
proof of SAT score. Great job Ji-Won!

College Admissions
Essays 2021: TIPS: 1) Don’t go off topic. Get to the
point and answer the question: the biggest problem is most kids write about
stuff that does not apply / irrelevant 2) These essays tell the college
something about you that isn’t shown in your academic record 3) These are NOT CREATIVE WRITING
ESSAYS. Do not write some dramatic story. 4) “Show don’t tell” does NOT MEAN
you are writing a novel: readers look through thousands of applications, with
4 essays on each app. They don’t have time to read novels. 5) No unrealistic accomplishments,
and do not make things up 6) Everyone “works hard” and
“strives” to do their best. No need to tell that on your essay.
UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA 2021 CHOOSE 4 350 words MAX 1. Describe an example of your
leadership experience in which you have positively influenced others, helped
resolve disputes or contributed to group efforts over time. Things to
consider: A leadership role can mean more than just a title. It can mean
being a mentor to others, acting as the person in charge of a specific task,
or taking the lead role in organizing an event or project. Think about what
you accomplished and what you learned from the experience. What were your
responsibilities? Did you
lead a team? How did your experience change your perspective on leading
others? Did you help to resolve an important dispute at your school, church,
in your community or an organization? And your leadership role doesn’t
necessarily have to be limited to school activities. For example, do you help
out or take care of your family? 2. Every person has a creative
side, and it can be expressed in many ways: problem solving, original and
innovative thinking, and artistically, to name a few. Describe how you
express your creative side. Things to
consider: What does creativity mean to you? Do you have a creative skill that
is important to you? What have you been able to do with that skill? If you
used creativity to solve a problem, what was your solution? What are the
steps you took to solve the problem? How does
your creativity influence your decisions inside or outside the classroom?
Does your creativity relate to your major or a future career? 3. What would you say is your
greatest talent or skill? How have you developed and demonstrated that talent
over time? Things to
consider: If there’s a talent or skill that you’re proud of, this is the time
to share it. You don’t necessarily have to be recognized or have received
awards for your talent (although if you did and you want to talk about it,
feel free to do so). Why is this talent or skill meaningful to you? Does the
talent come naturally or have you worked hard to develop this skill or
talent? Does your talent or skill allow you opportunities in or outside the
classroom? If so, what are they and how do they fit into your schedule? 4. Describe how you have taken
advantage of a significant educational opportunity or worked to overcome an
educational barrier you have faced. Things to
consider: An educational opportunity can be anything that has added value to
your educational experience and better prepared you for college. For example,
participation in an honors or academic enrichment program, or enrollment in
an academy that’s geared toward an occupation or a major, or taking advanced
courses that interest you — just to name a few. If you
choose to write about educational barriers you’ve faced, how did you overcome
or strive to overcome them? What personal characteristics or skills did you
call on to overcome this challenge? How did overcoming this barrier help
shape who you are today? 5. Describe the most significant
challenge you have faced and the steps you have taken to overcome this
challenge. How has this challenge affected your academic achievement? Things to
consider: A challenge could be personal, or something you have faced in your
community or school. Why was the challenge significant to you? This is a good
opportunity to talk about any obstacles you’ve faced and what you’ve learned
from the experience. Did you have support from someone else or did you handle
it alone? If you’re
currently working your way through a challenge, what are you doing now, and
does that affect different aspects of your life? For example, ask yourself,
“How has my life changed at home, at my school, with my friends or with my
family?” 6.
Think about an academic subject that inspires you. Describe how you
have furthered this interest inside and/or outside of the classroom. Things to
consider: Many students have a passion
for one specific academic subject area, something that they just can’t get
enough of. If that applies to you, what have you done to further that
interest? Discuss how your interest in the subject developed and describe any
experience you have had inside and outside the classroom — such as volunteer
work, internships, employment, summer programs, participation in student
organizations and/or clubs — and what you have gained from your involvement. Has your
interest in the subject influenced you in choosing a major and/or future career?
Have you been able to pursue coursework at a higher level in this subject
(honors, AP, IB, college or university work)? Are you inspired to pursue this
subject further at UC, and how might you do that? 7. What have you done to make your
school or your community a better place?
Things to
consider: Think of community as a term that can encompass a group, team or a
place — like your high school, hometown or home. You can define community as
you see fit, just make sure you talk about your role in that community. Was
there a problem that you wanted to fix in your community? Why were
you inspired to act? What did you learn from your effort? How did your
actions benefit others, the wider community or both? Did you work alone or
with others to initiate change in your community? 8. Beyond what has already been
shared in your application, what do you believe makes you stand out as a
strong candidate for admissions to the Things to
consider: If there’s anything you want
us to know about you, but didn’t find a question or place in the application
to tell us, now’s your chance. What have you not shared with us that will
highlight a skill, talent, challenge or opportunity that you think will help
us know you better? From your
point of view, what do you feel makes you an excellent choice for UC? Don’t
be afraid to brag a little. |

SAT
& ACT Testing Requirements Changes UPDATED December 2021 Dropping the SAT
& ACT requirement has never been about “equity & inclusion” or giving
minority students access or reducing bias and racism. It was always a
financial decision, and now the facts have come to light: https://www.yahoo.com/news/wealthy-high-schoolers-upping-application-165830172.html
https://www.yahoo.com/news/editorial-uc-dumped-college-entrance-110048132.html
“But the
results of the SAT say less about the test and more about high schools'
failure to properly educate. Students across the country are failing to meet
testing federal benchmarks, even before COVID-19 disrupted education. It’s
our education system itself that needs improving and failing schools that
need to be turned around. Blaming the tests doesn’t help anyone and, contrary
to accusations of cultural bias, it is the math section that is hardest for
students.”
“There's a national movement to remove SAT and ACT test
scores from consideration for college admissions. If successfully
implemented, this terrible idea will only encourage already widespread,
unnecessary and unacceptable social engineering at American colleges, while
doing nothing to help students of color who struggle academically. At the
same time, it punishes students who do well.” “So what would you look at for admissions, if not merit?
We can expect universities to place an even bigger emphasis on extracurriculars, personal stories and a student's
identity. That means college admissions officers, already focused on
wokeness, will better shape incoming classes on the
basis of what they'd prefer the campus to look like—and on what students
believe. That makes it easier to turn students into activists, a direction
colleges already appear to be willfully taking.” Newsweek 2021 UPDATE 5/22/2020:
more SAT & ACT news:
Many colleges are dropping the SAT
and ACT as an admission requirement because “they don’t predict first-year
college success” “they are racist” “they discriminate again low-income and
minority kids”…. Really? Nope.
Colleges are in fact big business. The colleges that are dropping the SAT
& ACT requirement actually are using this to BOOST APPLICATIONS and
INCREASE the number of students ( =
profits ) enrolled in their universities. Then why did they have an SAT / ACT
requirement before if they just wanted more students to make profits?
Colleges are a competitive business. You want your college to appear, well,
desirable to get into. How does it look if the college you run had such low
standards of admissions that it didn't even require the SAT or ACT? You might
as well be applying to community college. Only recently has it been more OK
to be a college that didn't require the SAT or ACT. Some
think that the SAT & ACT are racist exams, poor predictors of college
success, and that they should be dropped for admissions because the cheating
scandal "only proves" the testing system can be gamed, but here are
get the facts. This is not about the fact
that we tutor these exams. Its about the fact that as a professional
credentialed educator myself who has worked with thousands of high school
students, I have seen first-hand what type of thinking is required to do well
on these exams, at a level deeper than any study thus far conducted. As a
student myself who worked hard to get into a very high ranking university, I
am saddened to see the admissions standard being compromised against what careful research has shown.
https://thehill.com/opinion/education/504951-the-war-on-testing
The
result of this is that college applications for every college will only
increase because now the bar is lower. Anyone who previously was not
qualified to apply can now apply. And that means more competition, and more
of a need to stand out from the crowd. READ
