Questions about our services

Yes, your instructor will always be the same. 

How many classes are needed for SAT preparation?

There is not a specific answer to this question as every student has its own learning curve. However, we believe a 10 weeks program is an ideal practice time to achieve a very good SAT score.

They have undergone rigorous training and hold advanced degrees, and other credentials that demonstrate their ability to provide effective and engaging online tutoring sessions.

Do you provide homework?

We provide a wealth of practice materials and homework assignments to support student learning and help them build their skills and knowledge. These resources are carefully crafted by our knowledgeable instructors to challenge and engage students and provide opportunities for them to apply what they have learned in real-world scenarios.

How much time does it take get a feedback on an essay?

The time it takes to receive feedback on an essay can vary depending on the instructor’s availability and workload. However, most online tutors aim to provide prompt and thorough feedback within 24-48 hours of submission, to help students learn and make progress in a timely manner.

Do you guarantee on college admissions?

No, we do not guarantee college admissions. The admission process is highly competitive and is subject to a wide range of factors, including academic achievements, test scores, extracurricular activities, essays, and personal qualities, among others. We believe that a successful admission to a college or university is the result of a combination of hard work, preparation, and a favorable alignment of circumstances, and cannot be guaranteed by any service or organization.

What is the free consultation session?

A free consultation session helps us to assess the student’s needs and determine their baseline score or understanding of the subject. During this session, we will also provide a demonstration of our learning platform and answer any specific questions the student may have. Based on the results of the consultation, we will develop a personalized tutoring plan that is tailored to the student’s individual goals and needs. This plan will include recommendations for the number and frequency of sessions required to achieve their desired outcomes, as well as any additional resources or materials that may be helpful. The free consultation session is an opportunity for the student to get to know us and our approach to online tutoring, and for us to determine the best path forward to help the student achieve their goals.
