The training program is comprehensive, incorporating all relevant academic materials and approaches that we have developed over the last 35 years.

Ongoing mentorship, formal assessments, constructive criticism, and open discussions ensure that Advantage Testing tutors continue to develop their craft.

Yes. We recognize the costs of sustained individualized attention, and we appreciate that they are daunting for many. We work to provide realistic options through Financial Aid and Public Service Initiatives programs. Our nation offers a range of excellent public and independent options for education. For families that choose to pursue private education, to say that the overall expenses are high is an understatement. The cost of an independent high school and college education can amount to more than $500,000. Add to this amount the cost of a private grade school, and the total can exceed $750,000. The amount families spend on Advantage Testing's services represents a small percentage of that total, while many, if not most, of our students regard their one-on-one work with our private tutors to be among the most important educational experiences of their lives. We should also note that teacher compensation in the United States is lower, as a fraction of our GNP, than it is in virtually every other major industrialized country in the world, while the number one expense at Advantage Testing is teacher salaries. The fees we charge are comparable to, not higher than, those of leading professionals offering highly valued services in other fields. Private tutoring by exceptional teachers can have a profound effect on a student's confidence, ability, and attitude.

As adaptable as it is effective, tutoring requires few investments beyond the right instructor and a quiet room, making this approach suitable for all students.

Each tutoring program is tailored to address the particular needs and goals of the individual student. One-on-one tutoring of core educational concepts serves as the foundation of all of our tutoring programs. Students will practice these concepts and critical analytical skills through in-session drills, homework assignments, and full-length, proctored practice exams.

Our students often see dramatic score increases, a product of one-on-one tutoring directed by our belief that every student should and can be considered individually. Each program is unique, tailored to the specific needs and aspirations of the student. We have no arbitrary benchmark point increase that we would consider a satisfactory result. Nevertheless, judging by our student evaluations, the vast majority of our students (approximately 99%) are overwhelmingly happy with their tutors, their learning experience, and their final scores. Most important, our students report experiencing a heightened sense of confidence and mastery when approaching other academic and intellectual challenges.
