TSG courses and tutoring programs provide an exceptional opportunity to learn the ins and outs of college entrance exams at an affordable price for parents. Standardized tests are difficult for nearly every student. We make the test prep process as seamless as possible. Founded in 2011, TSG has helped hundreds of students to reach new heights of academic achievement. Working with students at all levels of academic achievement, our tutors tailor the sessions to meet your child’s individual needs. We stand above our competitors by customizing a review plan for each student we prepare. Every child learns differently, so we do not expect the same techniques to work for every child. Each student arrives at the point of SAT or ACT prep with a different academic background. We evaluate where each student is when they begin prep and isolate the specific knowledge gaps that will be pivotal in raising the student’s score. In mathematics, for example, some students may clearly remember concepts from pre-algebra, but struggle with geometry questions. If this is the case, then we will diagnose precisely which geometry concepts we need to hone in on with the student.
Just as we do for the mathematics section, we take a comprehensive approach to reading comprehension and writing. Inference and analysis are pivotal skills for both the SAT and the ACT, and enhancing these skills is a key component of our classes and private tutoring programs. We teach each student the critical reading strategies to help them comprehend each passage in a time efficient manner and answer the questions with certainty. Our critical reading strategies not only raise SAT/ACT scores, but also help students become more confident readers, overall. Moreover, for us this is about more than standardized testing. We strive to equip our students with the critical thinking, inference, and analysis skills that will give them a competitive edge in the next stages of academic life.
