PRIVATE  TUTORING

Ames Private SAT and ACT Tutoring

Ames Seminars offers outstanding private tutoring. Only skilled and veteran SAT and ACT teachers do our tutoring, therefore they are familiar with both the tests and our great curriculum. Because Ames Seminars only hires experienced and wonderful teachers, you can be sure our tutors know how to teach!

Please note: All tutoring sessions are held at Ames Seminars. We are very serious about helping you raise your SAT or ACT score and we do not want you to be distracted by anything at home. These tests are hard and you will learn how to succeed on every question type. When you finish our program you will have learned how to attack each problem, extend your ability to concentrate, and you will maximize your score!


Our Complete Program for the SAT or ACT includes:

  • Fifteen 90-minute sessions (22.5 hours total).
  • A binder containing extra practice material and extra tests for homework practice. Only actual SAT or ACT material will be used.
  • Three full-length practice SAT or ACT tests which will be computer scored. The first test is taken before tutoring begins. More practice tests are always available at Ames Seminars.
  • Before the actual tests, our private tutoring students are invited to reviews and practice tests with other Ames students in a classroom setting.

Fee:  $2,250
