Private Tutoring

Many students benefit from private sessions when preparing for the SAT and ACT. Many students choose to supplement workshops with private sessions; others prefer to prepare only through private sessions. Much depends on the student’s situation: schedule, time frame, diagnostic score. As always, feel free to call Cristin at (858) 458-5930 to discuss your situation and options.

SAT and ACT Workshops

Each SAT or ACT workshop consists of the following elements: 14-hrs. of group instruction (including one proctored exam), all of which can be completed in one month, leaving a few weeks for students to supplement with individual sessions as needed. All workshops are kept very small (4-6 students/group). Classes are held at Cristin’s home in La Jolla (near UCSD). Practice tests will be at the Sheraton in La Jolla.

After taking the first "real" exam, a student may choose to continue preparing in a small group setting or switch to private tutoring. Students with a shorter time frame to prepare will always be advised to do a group class (in which we can cover more material in each session).

To reserve your student a space in a workshop, please e-mail Cristin or call her at (858) 458-5930.
