Test Preparation that builds real understanding
Strategies are helpful but if the student doesn't understand the underlying material, they cannot improve or fully grasp the concept of the lesson. That is why at Brian Cotter Tutoring, we spend a significant portion of our preparation refreshing your student on all of the underlying math, vocabulary, writing, grammar, and other pertinent material.
Our process
Every student follows a clear, proven path. Here is how our test preparation works, step by step.

Hands-On Approach
Besides practicing the material, we offer a hands-on approach to many concepts. We understand that each student learns differently.
Strong test scores open doors. Once your student is ready, our college admissions consulting helps turn those scores into acceptances. Curious about official exams? The College Board and ACT publish current test dates and formats.
