[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Prep Matters is the best in the area, but they're very expensive. We used them for my son who had an IEP and severe ADHD with low processing speed. I think his starting score, without his extended time accommodation or any prep, was maybe 29. His final score was 35 out of 36, after a ton of in-depth work. The student needs to put in the work. Tutors can't just magically wave a wand and hand your kid a high score.[/quote]

You have to know your kid as you are making these decisions.  For my current senior, who does not suffer through "boring" well, we also used Prep Matters and got terrific results. I think the key element was the analysis of the diagnostic test performance. The tutor not only saw that math needed work, but took the time to figure out specifically which topics in math required work, and then directed my student to do a reasonable amount of outside practice focusing on the specific skills. No time was spent on concepts that were already understood. One and done for us. Our younger would probably be better off in a more social environment, so we may look to the class at Capital Educators.[/quote]
