Our Expert Advice: How to Find the Best SAT Tutors in Bergen County
Because of the high concentration of wealthy families in parts of Bergen County, SAT tutoring companies (and individual tutors) can and do charge more for their in-person tailored tutoring services. Don't be put off by all of the pricey tutoring options, though; depending on what you're looking for, you may be able to find a lower-cost tutor who's just as effective. This is especially true if you're just in need of help in a particular content area, like reading comprehension. Retired educators living in the community who have years of teaching experience in the subject area often will not as mind-blowingly expensive as tutors who specialize in the SAT and will be more effective at teaching students the material. If you're looking for help with test strategies, you should also consider posting on online message boards frequented by students from Farleigh Dickinson and Felician to see if any current college students who scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT (and so know the ins and outs of the test) would be willing to tutor you. Whatever type of tutoring you end up getting, you should definitely ask for a trial lesson before signing up for a series of tutoring sessions. Not only will the trial lesson help you make sure you're not throwing your money away on an incompetent teacher, but it will also ensure that student, tutor, and parents all have the same expectations of what the tutoring will entail and what standards should be met. Make sure you quiz the tutor on their results, and note whether the tutor measures student progress using official measures (real SATs) or the tutor's own assessments (which may be biased in the tutor's favor and therefore not worth much).

"I just had my last lesson with Olivia, and despite never meeting with her in real life, Olivia has easily been the best tutor I have ever had. She is available, kind, reliable, sweet and above all very intelligent and an excellent tutor. She helped me improve my score by 3 points compositely (within PrepScholar mock tests), and even by 7 points in the math section.” -Malaika G.
I am especially excited about helping students overcome test anxiety and increase focus, because the skills they develop in stress reduction and improved concentration can help them in so many aspects of life beyond the SAT or ACT. Many students who have test anxiety or trouble with focusing see results in their high school and college classes, in addition to improving their test scores.
