You (or your child) studied hard for three years in high school.  You’ve now got a solid GPA, and along the way you took difficult classes: AP Calculus, AP Biology, AP US History, and AP Physics.  You earned a 4 or a 5 on each of these difficult AP tests.  You played several sports at the Varisity level, and even wrote for the school newspaper.

You’ve taken the ACT several times, as well.  The first time you scored a 25.  Then, you took an ACT prep course, and scored a 27.  Finally, you hired a private ACT tutor, received customized help, and scored a 30.  Now, your applications are looking good.

Every once in a while, someone requests an in-person tutor but we don’t have one available, and we thus suggest they try online tutoring.  However, in almost all cases, even when we offer free online tutoring for one hour to encourage them to give it a try, they decline to do so and search for a tutor from a different company that they’ll have to pay full price for.
