Our prep centre near Mason caters to all students alike: those starting fresh and those attempting a retake.

Many parents ease their children into the idea of an important test like the ACT or SAT by starting with an introductory class. Our students have been known to start young — some as early as sixth grade. What stands out about our method is that students and parents decide whether to attend a class with fellow students or follow an individualized programme.

We don’t see our students as money-making clients, but as individuals with a desire to learn. The system devised by our founder, Mr. DiSalvo, prepares students to use their minds critically so they can counter any problem at hand.

Using Dr. Gary Gruber’s guide as a foundation, we teach a six-pronged, tested method — including underlining, classifying, predicting and correlating. This lets students break down problems on their tests and approach them practically. It helps them ace the ACT, and it tends to stay with them well beyond it.

Classes alone aren’t always enough, since students still feel nervous walking in. We make sure students get adequate practice beforehand, with regular full practice tests and continuous feedback on both the material and the teaching.

Our tutors use the industry’s leading practice tests, including official tests from ACT, to complement class learning and let students check their knowledge before the exam.

Our job does not end there. Anxiety can be a real hurdle on exam day, so A+ Tutoring works with HeartMath techniques to help students manage nerves and perform at their best. From a student’s first session through to exam day, our method covers the whole path.

Some students arrive gifted but needing practice to make their mark. Others have fallen behind and need a reliable process to catch up. With that range, a class is not necessarily a bad idea — but it is worth understanding the real differences between a classroom and a one-on-one tutoring situation. Students have scored up to perfect scores on the PSAT and SAT with our classes and practice tests, though more modest results are the industry reality when students of different ability levels are grouped together.

That is why we offer both classes and individual sessions. Students begin with a diagnostic test so we know which programme and tutor fits best. Watching a student take that test tells us not only their academic standing but how readily they adapt to the stepwise system — which proves vital in forming groups of students at a similar level.

Some key differences between tutoring and class prep under the A+ approach:

Individual Tutoring

• More expensive — typically three times the cost of attending a class
• More effective; with three times the cost, one should ordinarily expect stronger results, even if they take a little longer
• Maximum attention from the teacher, as the student is the tutor’s sole focus
• A more comfortable environment for communication and getting questions addressed
• Much easier to offer immediate feedback on methodology, so the right answer is reached every time
• Possibly more socially awkward if a student is not used to one-on-one situations
• Less risk of a student being distracted by friends and normal classroom digressions
• Students are held more accountable because of the focused attention

Taking a Class

• Less expensive, though group tutoring can also be cost-effective
• Fellow students often produce good competition, which can motivate students to learn
• Less effective overall, though some students prefer a class setting
• Less interaction, as the teacher shares time across every student
• More difficult to correct a student right away or tell whether they are following along
• A student may feel less pressure if already familiar with classmates
• Students may get distracted by classmates interested in socializing
• Easier for students to blend in when they haven’t completed their assignments
