Tutoring: Ivy Bound - Support for Parents

Support for Parents

We also have a conference call for Parents. Each month Mark Greenstein or one of our senior instructors fills in parents, particularly parents of 9th and 10th graders, on the following topics:

• What is tested on the current SAT and how should kids attack it?
• Where does the SAT fit into the college admissions scheme?
• Where do the SAT II tests fit in and when should we schedule these?
• Is the SAT fair, is it coachable, is it culturally biased?
• Don't grades count anymore?
• What's the use of the PSAT?
• How does Early Decision affect admissions?
• What else are colleges looking for?
• How does the ACT differ from the SAT?
• What are AP Tests and when do students take these?
• The Ivy Bound Course and how to get the most out of it. (optional last 10 min.)

The calls take place on the first Sunday of every month at 9:15pm eastern using 605-990-0300 x294454 -. No reservations are needed. Just chime in between 9:12 and 9:15pm. My staffers are happy to e-mail replies to parents' thoughtful follow-up questions on the above topics.

We understand the schedule restrictions most teens are under and that budgeting time for a far-off priority is difficult. For students who make SAT prep a NEAR term priority (treat their 3 - 5 months with us as they do an honors course), we can almost guarantee a vastly better score.

If you have questions, please e-mail or call our office (877-975-1600) and someone will be happy to assist you.
