The Solutions SAT & ACT Courses - BEHIND THE SCENES

Many people are not aware of the hard work, time, and energy involved in creating the high quality courses that have given Solutions it's reputation.

You would be shocked to know that other companies just throw their instructors in front of high school kids with very little knowledge or training, and the result is obvious: confusion, inability to solve problems, answering questions wrong, wasted time as instructor calls for assistance, and reciting from an Instructor's Manual.

A lesson with Solutions is just the tip of the iceberg.

We take the time to do things right. Just as with any well-rehearsed performance, it is IMPOSSIBLE for a lesson to be any good if you just walk into it.

Your lesson actually began MONTHS BEFORE the first time we meet with you, and continues even after the lesson with you has ended.

What goes into the Solutions courses:

Time and Energy:

1) Hours upon hours are spent taking actual SATs and ACTs, and new ones as they become available.
2) Weeks are spent analyzing test questions and developing solutions and explanations
3) Each question is reviewed, memorized, and rehearsed several times.
4) Months are spent creating, developing, and updating course materials
5) We take time assessing and diagnosing each Student, which is not part of the lesson
6) Before each lesson, a customized plan is put together just for that Student
7) Actual lessons are provided to Students << the part that you know about
8) Student SAT / ACT essays are read and scored after hours.

9) After hours support is provided to Students until 10pm 7 days a week
10) Updates & Missed Materials for Students are mailed, emailed, or uploaded to the website

Money:

1) Books and materials given to Students

2) Fees paid to College Board, ACT Inc for SATs, Subject Tests, ACTs, AP Exams, and other materials

3) Office space rent & office furniture

4) Teaching equipment & supplies

5) Computer equipment, scanners, printers, software, document cameras, web hosting

6) Insurance & legal fees, misc. fees

7) Taxes

Our Head Teacher has literally memorized more than 40 HOURS OF TEACHING MATERIAL, making it possible to skip forward or backward or go to any point of ANY LESSON at ANY TIME. Unbelievable, isn't it?

The Result:

The Most Competently & Proficiently Taught

SAT & ACT Courses in the Bay Area. Period.
