Classes are very small: the range is 3-10 (maximum) students. Students receive 16 hours of instruction. These classes are intensive and thorough. Students are assigned homework which is checked. Student progress is monitored carefully. Content: special attention is given to the reading, writing-language skills and mathematics portions of the SAT and PSAT and ACT as well as the English and Science parts of the ACT….plus the optional essay (SAT and ACT). The course includes a thorough review of math concepts, definitions, and skills. An individualized strategy is developed for each student. Effective reading techniques are taught. Semi-private classes also emphasize, grammar skills, essay writing, and confidence building.

SEMI-PRIVATE TUTORIALS:

Each Tutorial provides 16 hours of instruction and take place in either Mount Airy, Maryland, or Cooksville, MD, just off I-70 between Ellicott City and Frederick—-convenient to most communities in Howard, Frederick, Carroll and Montgomery Counties.   During the SCHOOL YEAR tutorials may be scheduled for 6 week nights, or a combination of week nights and weekends.  We offer 3-4 tutorials during the school year:  a FALL, mid-WINTER, and SPRING TUTORIAL.  The schedule for upcoming Tutorials is posted on this web site.

The SUMMER TUTORIAL SCHEDULE will be posted in April. Typically, we offer 4-6 tutorials. Each Summer Tutorial meets Monday through Friday for just one week…..either in the morning or in the afternoon. Some weeks we will offer both a morning section and an afternoon section. Students may select the tutorial that works best for their schedules.

We begin registering students for summer tutorials in MARCH. Tutorials are very popular so they tend to fill early: we can only accept a maximum of 10 students per tutoial. Please register early to secure your space in class.
