Below is an overview of our tutoring services.
Tutoring philosophy: We believe that test-taking is a skill, and that every student, no matter their starting point, stands to benefit from taking a more systematic approach to each section of the test. We teach the concepts underlying each question type, guiding students to mastery of the concepts before giving them real test questions. Because we teach students to have a plan of attack for each type of question, they head into the official test with the utmost confidence in their problem-solving skills.
Since our tutors can use the Test Innovators platform to leverage scoring and analytical data, they are able to identify your student's specific strengths and weaknesses to provide targeted instruction, as well as homework in the platform for students to complete between sessions.
Tutoring technology: We use Zoom for all of our lessons—it integrates video conferencing with a whiteboard that lets both the tutor and the student draw in real time. Zoom also allows both the tutor and the student to annotate on top of any screen being shared, so it makes it easy to analyze past test results and work through outside materials together. All lessons can be recorded and made available for students and parents to review.
Communication: Tutors will always leave notes for you after each session in a detailed session log, which you will be sent once you sign up. You can communicate with your tutor via email, but please keep in mind that due to the nature of our tutor’s schedules, they do not have specific time that is built in to respond to emails. We ask that tutors reply to emails within one business day, but this is not always possible. If you need any additional support, you can always reach out to our Support team as well at support@testinnovators.com.
Flexible Scheduling: Your student’s tutoring schedule can be flexible depending on your family's needs and preferences. We recommend hour-long sessions, but there are longer and shorter options available. You can learn more about scheduling sessions through Acuity HERE.
If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, you can do this through Acuity as long as it is more than 24-hours before your scheduled session start time.
