Yes, standardized tests are an unfortunate part of education, but they can also be fun. At least, I think so! A good strategy and confidence can make such a difference.
I help my students see improvements by:
Quizzing them early and often on content they need to know. We track progress together so you can see growth over time.
Developing a personalized test-taking strategy that plays to their strengths.
Ensuring they test the way they practice through regular "mock" exams. No surprises on test day.
I've spent the most time with these tests, but each is unique and many skills overlap
The ACT moves fast - it tests what you know in English, Math, Reading, and Science, all under tight time limits. Doing well means working smart and staying sharp.
The SAT is all about how you read, think, and problem-solve. It focuses on reading, writing, and math. Success comes from a mix of knowledge and approach.
The Independent School Entrance Exam is used for admission to many private and independent schools. Tests verbal reasoning, reading, and math.
The Secondary School Admission Test is another pathway to private school admission. Includes quantitative, verbal, and reading sections.
Have a different test in mind? Feel free to inquire - many skills transfer across standardized tests.
Ask about other testsOver half of my test prep students have a diagnosis that allows for extended time. I have specialized training to support learners with different needs.
Whether your student has ADHD, dyslexia, or another learning difference, I understand how to adapt my teaching to help them succeed. We'll work together to develop strategies that play to their strengths.
