Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Please contact me for a free consultation.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

As stated above, the typical process is, as follows: Session 1: A Solid Foundation For Success Take a Proprietary Learning Styles & Interests Questionnaire. Relating subject matter to each student’s interests results in greater engagement throughout the learning process. "Nick’s Comprehensive Guide for Easy Points." Reviewing and memorizing these time-tested strategies empowers students to quickly and easily boost their scores. Homework Diagnostic. Before the first session concludes, students will be assigned an abbreviated diagnostic exam under time constraints, relaxation technique practice, and will need to obtain a silent watch and workbook. Subsequent Sessions: Growing A Stellar Score...and Chance of Admission Diagnostic Review. Students will review the results of the diagnostic exam with Nick. Together, they will then draft an individualized lesson plan with specific goals that address the areas in which improvement is needed. Ongoing Practice & Feedback. Homework in the form of practice exams and other assignments will be assigned regularly. These assignments are accompanied by progress reports and student feedback surveys. I look forward to working with you. Together, we will achieve your goals so you can gain admission to the college of your dreams!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started tutoring in college when I noticed students were struggling to ace their subject matter, standardized tests, and college applications. That's when I applied my knowledge to help them become the best candidates possible.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have worked with students across the country to improve their standardized test scores, college application essays, and GPA. This is my passion and privilege.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

A recent project I am fond of was helping a client prepare for her SAT under a tight deadline. Within a span of two weeks, I helped identify her areas of weakness and provided strategies that quickly helped address her learning gaps. As a result of daily, intensive tutoring, her score improved by over 120 points!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

If customers are looking to hire a provider in the area of college and SAT/ACT preparation, they should ask what certificates and formal work experience they have. I am honored to be a certified Princeton Review standardized test instructor and have served as a Georgetown University Alumni Admissions Officer. I frequently draw upon this work experience throughout my sessions with clients.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

1) How many years of formal work experience in this field do you have? 2) What are some common challenges you face and how do you address them? 3) What is your preferred method of communication? 4) What response time can I expect from you? 5) How do you address the fact that each student has different learning styles and interests? 6) Do you offer stress-reduction services?
