Dear Students,
If you are ready to put in six to twelve weeks of serious effort, Ivy Bound is the best SAT test prep possible. Tutoring is customized -- we go at your pace. We come to your home, at YOUR convenience.
Ivy Bound offers small at-home classes as well. The course includes 30 hours of SAT prep classes, two hours of semi-private tutoring, three simulated SAT test sessions, review sessions for each test, and free online help. Class sizes range from 4 to 10 students, and where possible, we group by ability to improve discipline and maximize students' class time.
Ivy Bound offers classes at schools, and to after-school youth groups. We can prep the soccer team all at once for an upcoming SAT or ACT! Counselors, teachers, and coaches can enlist Ivy Bound on a convenient schedule and save families money.
Course tuition for the complete program (SAT Math, Critical Reading, and Writing) is $1750. A discount applies to students prepping for only one or two of the sections. Need-based scholarships are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer classes meet three times a week, 2.5 - 3 hours a day, for three or four weeks. Fall, winter, and spring classes typically meet one once a week, on the weekend. If our schedules don't fit yours, you and three to five friends can FORM YOUR OWN SMALL SAT CLASS, and have an accomplished Ivy Bound instructor come to your home or community center. Ivy Bound routinely conducts one-hour "How To Be A Great SAT Parent" lecture meets the first week of class.
If your schedules do not mesh with others, private SAT tutoring is available. All tutors are among the top 2% scorers, pass the Ivy Bound standard for ability to deliver the material effectively, and genuinely like teaching high school students. If you live far from any of our locations, we can have an instructor come to almost any meeting place during the summer or winter breaks. We also offer online tutoring with live instructors anywhere in the world!
As you are probably well aware, the SAT is for most students the single most important test in their high school careers. With the competition to top colleges even more fierce, the SAT has become a greater determinant of admissions and scholarship decisions than ever before. I look at this as an opportunity for any student with an open mind and a willingness to achieve. So long as you have had a semester of Geometry and a semester of Algebra I, you have the tools to take advantage of this class. It is my sincere hope that you can join us in the coming months.
Yours Truly,
Mark Greenstein
Founder and Principal Instructor
