Experience with Prep 1 to 1 in Rockville for ACT/SAT prep?

[Anonymous]

Considering using them this summer and would love some feedback. I searched the forums but it didn’t return much. If you use them, can you give the approximate cost? Their website really doesn’t say.

We used them for my DS that is a junior. I liked them because it's one on one tutoring so I figured my DS would get specific attention that was directed at him. He had individual tutors--- the cost really depends on how many tutors and how many sessions. Each tutor charges per hour for each session. My DS wasn't happy with his scores - he took the ACT 3 times so we did a lot of tutoring. Not sure I added it up but it could have been 4-5K. Eventually it seemed he couldn't do any better so he stopped the tutoring and the testing.

But the place was good and it was flexible with the schedule of my DS.

Thanks for your feedback!

My daughter is working with them now. We are very satisfied. They use a combination of specific tutoring and strategies including time management. She started out before tutoring with ACT 26, and just took them for the first time after one month of tutoring and her score went up to 29. I don't think we'll keep seeing this kind of leaps, but we're going to continue through the June ACT at least.
