Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT favor those who have prepared for the test. At Emergent Education, we understand that every student learns — and prepares for tests — differently.
Taking practice test after practice test may work for some students, but it doesn’t work for many.
Our staff of experienced tutors is here to help students retain knowledge while preparing for the SAT, not just memorize materials to get through the SATs — providing them with the study skills they need to be successful in college and beyond.
At Emergent Education, we realize that even the most impersonal systems can result in authentic learning. This is why we approach standardized tests differently than most.
Standardized tests are flawed assessment tools that cannot tell the whole story of a student’s aptitude. While we acknowledge that the clear goal is getting the best score possible, we view these tests also as an opportunity for growth by mastering the material and creating personalized strategies.
The SAT and ACT are unique and require an equally unique set of test-taking skills and strategies. Our test prep tutors help students develop those skills and strategies while also working to improve performance in math, science, reading, and writing.

First, we talk about where you are, where you want to be, and what it will take to get there. Together, we’ll design a plan for your learning, setting goals and timeline targets. At each meeting, we will begin by evaluating your understanding, reviewing goals and making adjustments as needed. Then we work on what you have prepared for our session, usually the most challenging problems or assignments that you could not complete alone.
Traditional one-on-one tutoring allows for the most individualized support. Small group tutoring balances that support with more peer-to-peer engagement. Students can teach each other a lot about a subject when given the space and tools to do so. Reach out today to learn more.
