How successful will I or my child be, if I employ  you as a tutor?

This is a good question. It's your money, and you want to be sure your money is well-spent. You want results. You have a dream to get into medical school, dental school or a top notch business school. You want your child to have the best chance possible to get into their #1 university choice, to get a full ride or even a half-ride, or to win as many academic scholarships as possible.

Yes, your child can win a significant amount of scholarship money just based off high ACT, HSPT or SAT scores! Depending upon the college of choice, the tuition money saved can amount to $50,000 or $100,000 plus. The higher the score, the more scholarship money available to you. 

There are some important observations I've made you need to consider. The first is that the academic disposition of students differs according to specific ACT composite ranges of their original scores. Students in the lower ranges tend to have academic holes or deficiencies that need to be addressed. Yet, they make the greater point gains because there's so much opportunity for them to increase their score versus a student who already has a 32 composite score and they need a 35 composite score. 

It's easier for me to take a student from a composite of 19 to a 30 than for me to take a student from a 32 to a 35 composite. In the later case, there are fewer questions available to increase the number of correct answers simply because they've already answered most of them correctly anyway! So, when you look at the data below, you will see greater point increases in the lower composite ranges than in the higher composite ranges simply because there is more opportunity to improve, more questions to answer correctly.

I grouped the students into six (6) categories that do not have a uniform range - those of you fond of histograms will understand that dilemma. The reason for this is I saw similar academic abilities and cognition problems with students who scored in these ranges. For me, it is a natural grouping of abilities within these ranges.

Important:  The degree of success for any student depends upon their motivation to succeed.
