Tutoring Pros Tutoring Pros In response to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic we have chosen to assist our students strictly via web-based platforms to protect the family’s we serve.

We academically prepare students to sit for college and graduate school entrance exams (ACT / SAT, GRE, MCAT) while simultaneously coaching them through the psychological challenges that emerge as they are maturing into a self-reliant achiever! Our coaching foundation is based on the Situational Leadership II ideology recognizing that as students academically develop our coaching methods must chan

ge in accord with their needs. We train students to develop and rely on academic analytical skills that: advance their abilities to edit written works, develop critical readers, transform one’s math abilities to analyze and conceive conceptual application-based situations, and develop their scientific analytical skills to process experimental data. Preparation cannot be taken lightly furthermore one must be dedicated to investing the time, and effort necessary to improve scores because they are unlike typical course exams. The results will help students improve their college or graduate school entrance exam (ACT / SAT / GRE / MCAT) scores and increase their chances of being awarded college scholarships! If you would like to contact me for advice you can call or text 281-910-1744. I do not answer the phone or reply to text while helping students; please leave a detailed message and a best time to contact you. I respond to messages between students. We are currently redesigning our website and it will be functional within the next couple of weeks.

Auburn stated: “Beginning Fall 2027, all first-year applicants will be required to submit ACT or SAT scores.”

Alabama has decided to reinstate test scores. I found this statement on their freshman admission page:

“From our test optional pilot over the last four years, we broadly see a difference in the retention of students who enroll test optional versus those who enroll with a test score. To ensure we are admitting students who can handle the rigor of our curriculum, we feel it best to include the test score as a part of our review, as the score provides some predictive power over first-year college GPA and first-to-second-year retention.”

The SAT no longer permits paper based exams unless a student has an IEP / 504 plan designating they need a paper based exam. The link is below if you are interested.

As with any new technology there are always a plethora of concerns just like we experienced in the 70’s / 80’s when incorporating calculators in the classroom. The link to the article is provided below.
