Score Increases
The tables below are based on the average score increases my students receive. Only official College Board and ACT test scores were used for the calculations.
Remember that these are average score increases. Your scores may go up slower or faster based on your background knowledge, how hard you're able to study, and how well-rested you are on the day of your official ACT or SAT.
One-on-One Tutoring
Tutors with perfect SAT and ACT scores normally train less experienced employees instead of working with you themselves. The ones who choose not to delegate the work are high-value educators with multiple qualifications:- Rick, a perfect scorer at RK Test Prep, has the lowest rate I've found after doing a 21-page Google search. It's $305/hour for in-person sessions and $270/hour for a 10-hour package. (You can also find him on Wyzant for $215/hour.)
- Zenith Tutoring in San Francisco is $275/hour. Ask specifically to get one-on-one tutoring with Grayson Giovine, Zenith's founder.
- Paul Osborne specializes in helping students with learning disabilities prep for the SAT. He's $250/hour online.
- Brooke Hanson is a video editing specialist with an Ivy League degree and perfect test scores. She offers online tutoring for $295/hour.
- Mike Barrett wrote the SAT Black Book and the ACT Black Book, which I use in my own tutoring. He's $350/hour by phone.
- Brian McElroy has written detailed Amazon reviews for most of the test prep books I use. He offers one-on-one tutoring for $495/hour ($455/hour for a 10-hour package).
- Steve Warner wrote the SAT and ACT math practice books that I use with my own students. He's $375 for a 45-minute session ($500/hour).
Like the tutors in the list above, I work with every client personally and design a custom curriculum based on that person's current test scores.
My own students invest $220/hour for in-home tutoring ($330 per session; all sessions are 90 minutes long).
