Tutoring Sessions
Sessions are conducted online using a video meeting and a shared whiteboard that both the student and tutor can edit. The whiteboard is also accessible to the student before and after the lesson.
SAT and ACT Tutoring Program
It is strongly recommended to enroll in X Factory Test Prep: Streamlined SAT Math and complete at least the first 4 Modules before scheduling tutoring. This is because just about everything you will learn in the first several tutoring sessions is covered in the course. You might even decide to use the course only, and not do tutoring sessions at all! Please sign up for the free Preview of the course to see what it is all about and what supplies are required.
Yes, ACT students should also sign up for the 'SAT' course. I am working on an ACT version of the course, but it is not ready yet. There will be a lot of overlap, plus a few added sections, and the practice problems will all have 4 choices. (The SAT course contains some practice problems that are not multiple choice, but these are still valuable to practice with!) Please see the lesson 'ACT Workaround' for what ACT students need to work on from this course.
Note: The above course helps you get many more questions right, but doesn't cover everything you might be tested on. If you are already scoring high, and need to work on only the hardest questions, then tutoring is recommended as a supplement to the course.
Fees:
- Students enrolled in the online course and who have completed at least through Module 4 are eligible for discounted tutoring sessions: $110 per 1 hour session.
- Students who are enrolled in the online course but have not yet completed through Module 4: $150 per 1 hour session.
- Students not enrolled in the online course: $300 prepaid, which includes 2 tutoring sessions and 32 calculator programs, and $150 per session beginning with the 3rd session. *Must have a TI-84 Plus calculator, the cable, and a way to plug it into a computer.
This option is offered because some people want it, but it is not recommended. Using the course is a much more efficient (and cost-effective) way to prep for the test - by practicing between sessions and learning how to use programs we didn't discuss during tutoring.Â
If you choose this option, you are limiting yourself to learning about fewer programs and strategies, because of time constraints.Â
