Online Tutoring for the SAT and ACT

Online tutoring in the SAT and ACT — even to the top 1% — is possible with access to a private computer. With a webcam, a microphone and a solid internet connection, students can take advantage of modern technology to receive high-quality one-on-one tutoring from the comfort of their own home. Our founder, Mr. DiSalvo, first made use of this technology to continue with clients who needed expert help at a distance, beginning with a student from Florida who had tracked him down in Ohio. Though that student already had a 680 on the Math section, he went on to earn a perfect Math score and a Verbal score over 700 — despite the internet being fairly unstable in 2006.

Michael has since made this program permanently available for those who want training in the same critical thinking skills that have earned his students their dramatic progress. Current technology allows not only stable audio and video, but advanced tools including whiteboard interaction, though working from common texts is still recommended. Mr. DiSalvo has always had the mission of making sure every student has access to quality preparation for a wide range of tests, which is why he focuses on the critical thinking that underlies each one.

Whether you live far from the Cincinnati, Mason, West Chester and Loveland areas, or you simply find it difficult to commute, our online program has you covered. Be it SAT, ACT or another test, our highly qualified tutors will prepare you for test day.

Some students require individual assistance and guidance to learn best, which is why we provide group tutoring, classes and one-on-one tutoring in person in Cincinnati — and online too. Every student has his or her own learning curve, so our tutors build individualized online programs so that no one is left behind.

Our students have earned up to a perfect score on the SAT without ever having visited Cincinnati.

Just as in sessions where tutor and student meet in person, we begin with a brief diagnostic test that shows us the student’s work habits, knowledge and speed. From that, the tutor can predict how well the student can do on the SAT or ACT long term and how long it will take. The evaluation also establishes strengths and weaknesses, which tells us whether a separate online math tutor is needed. Only then is a program set using the most result-oriented texts available.

The text we use for online SAT tutoring is Dr. Gary Gruber’s SAT Study Guide, and likewise his ACT Study Guide for the ACT. Ironically, students have often done better on the ACT using his SAT guide as a tool, so some may want to start with the ACT even when they ultimately focus on the SAT. Coupled with these texts is our six-pronged teaching system, which trains students to be step-oriented and to break any question down to its fundamentals so it can be approached critically.

Online sessions also change how students ask questions. In a regular class, students are often reluctant to interrupt a lecture even when they are lost. One-on-one online, they can stop at any point they do not understand and have the question addressed straight away.

We also provide a realistic test environment so students can simulate what test day will be like. It is normal to get nervous no matter how well prepared you are, so we have students take practice tests in a smart way, without wasting questions.

A+ Tutoring/Test Preparation is not just a building or an online platform. It is a practice built on more than twenty years of trust, learning and success. Our aim is not just to help you secure outstanding scores; we give you a method for problem solving and help students renew their minds so they can think critically. Apply these methods to excel not only on the SAT and ACT, but in life.

Your lifelong learning and a boost in your SAT and ACT scores are only a click away.

Students have seen big results in a short amount of time with our system.
