Reviews

J.T., whose sons's scores rose from a 22 to a 29 and a 30 to a 35

9/17/2024

I cannot recommend Russell Tutoring highly enough. They helped prepare two of my sons for the ACT’s. One of my sons saw a 7 point gain! My other son saw a 5 point gain, which got him to a 35, his dream score! What sets Claire (and her tutors) apart from other test-prep companies is that she is so THOROUGH and that their program is completely personalized. The students work one-on-one with the tutor, focusing on specifically what they need in each section of the test. They not only work on content prep, but also timing strategies, test-taking strategies that are particular to the ACT & SAT, and completely individualized tutoring on exactly what each child needs. I appreciate the fact that she first has the student take a practice exam as a starting point and then YOU (and your child) decide what their goal score is. They then create an individualized program specifically for your child. The service they provide is worth every single penny.

SAT/ACT Customized Assessment and Recommendation

Do you know if the SAT or ACT is your student's best chance for college admissions and why? Is your student a "bad" test-taker?" Is your student a high-achiever who needs 1-2-1 attention to achieve their best results? Does your student struggle with test anxiety? At RTC, we focus on balanced, mindful test prep, and we help students to achieve THREE to SIX times the national average score gain on SAT and ACT -- including students who say they are anxious test-takers! Great tutoring starts with great assessment, and we invest in getting to know your student from the start. 1. First, we have a 30-45-minute consultation with you to learn about your student's needs. 2. Then you will tell us about your student on our online family portal. 3. At home, you'll supervise your student in taking a digital SAT and a paper-and-pencil ACT. It's simple! 4. Our company founder will meet with your student. 5. In a Family Meeting, she'll deliver her assessment and customized tutoring recommendation. At RTC, we address not only the content of the SAT and ACT, test design, and test-taking strategies, but also the mental game of test-taking. We understand that unless you can perform under pressure, it doesn't matter what you learn, and we attract self-identified "anxious" test-takers from across the nation who appreciate our unique, specialized approach to test prep. At RTC, Your child's future matters to us.®
