ACT/SAT Diagnostic
Our diagnostic provides insight into a student’s strengths and weaknesses across each section.
We offer a diagnostic test prepared by our own test prep tutors and college counselors. This test is created so that the results yield information as to which test (ACT or SAT) a student is best suited for.
Unlike computer-generated assessments, it offers a customized approach that helps families make confident, informed decisions as they begin the test prep journey.

Whether it’s a few sessions to hash out strategies or comprehensive one-on-one guidance, we’ve got you covered for the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, TACHS, or AP Exams. Our experienced standardized test prep tutors focus on each student’s individual needs, instilling confidence and equipping them with the strategies required to achieve strong results.

We LOVE ASHLEY! Thanks so much. My son says he loves knowing she’s coming once a week and can have another person that is checking in to make sure he’s on track. Love it. He had his first quiz today and left feeling like it was no big deal.
