Personalized Test Prep Instruction
We understand that all students start with different needs and strengths, which is why we offer the most personalized SAT course available, as well as tailored Private SAT and ACT tutoring programs.
SAT Small-Group Classes
Before classes begin, all TestTakers students take a full-length diagnostic SAT so we can analyze their initial skills and group them appropriately into separate, small classes for Math and English. Additionally, we have developed different levels of materials tailored to help students improve upon their individual starting points and ensure that no one ever feels out of place in class. Such catered instruction sets us apart from the “one-size-fits-all” approach of other SAT test prep programs, which use one set of materials designed for a hypothetical “average” student, failing to reflect the diversity and needs of actual students.
Also unlike some bureaucratic national courses, our local NYC program allows us to be more flexible and adaptive to students’ individual needs. In addition to the vast amount of assistance we provide in the classroom, students have several ways to receive individual attention. Our teachers are easy to contact directly by email or phone, and, subject to availability, students can set appointments to meet one-on-one with teachers before class. Most importantly, all students have extensive access to their Site Directors, NYC-based experts in all subjects and facets of the test. Everyone at TestTakers is unflinchingly dedicated to raising your student’s test score.
Private SAT Tutoring That Delivers Results
At TestTakers, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all path to SAT success—which is why our private SAT tutoring program is built entirely around you. Whether you’re aiming for a top-tier score or looking to make a significant improvement, our Private SAT prep provides the structure, strategy, and support to help you get there.
Each private SAT tutoring program begins with an in depth conversation with the student and their parents so we can pinpoint exactly where to focus—whether it’s math, reading, writing, or test-taking strategy. From there, we customize every aspect of your SAT test prep around your individual learning style, strengths, and goals. You’ll work closely with one of our most experienced tutors—either in person at one of our New York locations or online—using targeted SAT or ACT prep materials designed to maximize your progress, not just keep pace.
Because we’re a small, student-focused company with deep roots in the New York area, we’re always just a phone call or email away. Our tutors and site directors are accessible, responsive, and fully invested in your success.
