The first step to signing up for tutoring with our talented team of tutors is scheduling a Tutor Consultation. A tutor consultation is a free, 20-minute, parent-focused phone call with one of our test prep experts.
The purpose of the consultation is to learn more about your student - their goals, needs, strengths/weaknesses, preparation timeline, and schedule, as well as discuss pricing options. Please share any score report data from diagnostic or practice tests with your consultant. If your student has yet to take a practice test, we highly recommend having them complete a practice test on the Test Innovators platform before your consultation.
After the call, your consultant will follow up via email with the following information: one or two recommended tutors, information on purchasing tutoring hours, and how to schedule with the recommended tutor(s).
Consultation FAQs:
Q: Is the consultation a free tutoring session?
A: No, it is not. The consultation is the first step to signing up for tutoring services and is intended to learn more about your student’s needs and timeline before pairing them with a tutor.
Q: Does my student need to be available to attend the consultation?
A: Your student does not need to attend the consultation, this is a parent focused meeting. However, your student is welcome to listen in on the call.
Q: I saw a specific tutor that I think would be a good fit for my student on the tutoring bios page, but they are not available for a consultation, why is that?
A: Not all of our consultants are tutors, and not all of our tutors do consultations. If your consultation is with one of our tutors, they will not necessarily be the tutor that you are paired with. Feel free to mention specific tutors that you notice on the website during your consultation.
Q: Something came up and I missed my consultation, can the consultant call me back now?
A: Unfortunately, this is usually not an option as our consultants are very busy. We recommend scheduling a new consultation appointment in these instances.
Q: I would like to schedule a tutoring session, but the only available consultation times are after my test date. What can I do?
A: We recommend giving yourself enough time to go through the consultation process so that we can better pair you with a tutor. However, you can fill out our Quick Connect form instead for ISEE and SSAT tutoring sessions. At the bottom of each respective tutoring page, you will see a green button that reads “Quick Connect Form”. If you fill this out, a member of our team will reply as soon as possible and connect you with a tutor that fits your needs based on the information you provide.
