Best Math Tutors in Centennial, CO

There are three main types of test prep companies: the individual instructor who typically got a great score on the test and works from your home or a coffee shop, the name-brand company that runs large-scale seminars and works off a one-size-fits-all model, and the boutique test prep company. Mindfish is a boutique test prep company that is small enough to offer superior personalized instruction but large enough to have developed all of its own curriculum and to offer bi-weekly proctored practice tests. When it comes to getting your student the individualized support they need along with highly trained instructors who are not only good at taking the test but great at teaching the test, Mindfish is an amazing resource. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our Mindfish Founders, Bill or Ryan , to talk about how Mindfish can help you.

The first step for 99% of families is to have their student choose which test to focus on. The student should come in and take a full-length SAT, a full-length ACT, and then sit down with one of the Mindfish Directors through our Practice Test Program .

Many parents and students receive faulty guidance about what schools accept ACT/SAT. All US institutions accept both the ACT and SAT. US institutions have no preference between either test. It is not necessary, nor recommended, to prepare for or take both the ACT and SAT. It is in your best interest to commit to one test at the onset of your test preparation.

Students who miss a small group session will be able to catch up on what was covered during the session by watching the relevant videos through their Mindfish student dashboard. Additionally, students use their one-on-one tutoring sessions to reinforce their knowledge of concepts discussed in the group class, so their tutor can help them catch up at their next individual tutoring session. However, if your student will be missing more than two small group classes during their course, we highly suggest you consider a one-on-one tutoring program instead.

Good grades do not automatically ensure high standardized test scores. School classes and standardized tests require different skill sets. Test taking is a skill that is related to, but distinct from, the skills taught in school. Moreover, your standardized test scores say nothing about you or your intelligence: your score only reflects how well you take these tests. Additionally, grade inflation in schools is becoming more prevalent and is motivating a need for standardized exams such as the ACT and SAT. The good news: ACT & SAT skills are learnable and coachable. Some other good news: GPAs and transcripts are generally weighted more heavily than test scores when it comes to admissions decisions.
