1:1 Test Prep

Diagnostic and highly individualized private lessons created from performance analysis and delivered by experts.

Test Prep Structure:

• One-hour Zoom meeting once per week, modifiable as necessary (occasional double sessions can be added during the summer if useful)

• Homework: 4+ hours each week during the summer, adjustable during the school year as needed

The above and all of the following are included in our work together:

• All test and practice materials, including online platforms and licensing

• Weekly follow-ups with targeted individualized practice based on weekly assessments

• Texting throughout the week to help clarify concepts, rules, and approaches

• Office Hours on Zoom in the 3 weeks leading up to test dates

• Flexible scheduling and self-rescheduling through the Acuity calendar link

• Weekly progress reports and session recaps to parents

• A structured, diagnostic-driven prep plan that begins with high-yield content, then shifts into untimed and timed application

  Bonuses as needed and necessary:

  • Complimentary sessions with our own Penn-trained psychotherapist for coaching and hypnosis to address test-related performance

  • Phone call check-ins with Ben for students, parents, and families

  • Additional office hours depending on the test date and season

Our overall approach:
We will begin with fresh SAT and ACT diagnostics under realistic conditions so that we can compare the two tests directly and make the best decision based on both performance and preference. From there, the process is phased and methodical: first building content mastery, then untimed strategy application, and finally timed execution and decision-making.
