SKOOL-AID was founded in 2002 by Camille Jung and other staff members who have worked in school districts, colleges, and various academic advisory firms. For over eight years, we have taught thousands of students. We have a proven track record because we provide better results. We provide better results because we have better teachers who care about their students and who are dedicated to teaching the SAT. Our schedules are flexible and most importantly, we guarantee improvements on the score. Free diagnostic test We encourage all students to take a free diagnostic test before the course starts so that we can accurately assess the students standard. Please make an appointment with our office if you wish to sit for this free, no obligation test. Please note the test takes 4 hours. 4 hours can be divided into certain days of the week if student's schedule doesn't fit. Course objectives The objectives of this course are to familiarize students with the format of the test, the scoring system, to teach students to apply strategies for each section, to get significant amount of practice answering questions both in-class and at home, and to raise their scores by over 100 points or to get higher than 2000. Which course is better? In general, if you are not in a rush, we highly recommend the once or twice a week course. This course gives students time to digest the information they have learnt and to apply the strategies over the week as they work through their homework. It gives the teachers more time to get to learn the weaknesses of the students and to help them improve. Intensive courses are good for students who want to get a taste of SAT prep. Students who are extremely motivated and self-directed will find the intensive courses useful. What will the student learn and how much work will the student get? Each group class is different. Depending on the group’s abilities and motivation, the tutors may assign more or less homework. The table below should be taken as an approximate guide for the amount of work students should expect to do when they come to SKOOL-AID, on top of their school work and school tests. Students should continue to work at least half an hour a day on their own till the actual test day. Coming to a test prep program is only half the battle won. Students work hard on their own in order to do well on the SAT. When should the student take a prep course? Students should consider a prep course after they have completed English 10, Algebra 2 and Geometry in high school. Our prep course will be more beneficial to the student who has completed these courses in school. Parents sometimes as, “Should my child take a prep course right before the actual test, or should I sign him up one year earlier?” The answer is, “It depends!” If a child has been consistently working hard in school and is doing well, taking a prep course a few months ahead is probably sufficient. However, weaker students should consider starting earlier so they have more time to improve. In general, it is always better to prepare earlier. Practice tests Students taking the Extensive, Intensive Summer courses are entitled to sit for these tests anytime after they complete the entire course. The tests are not mandatory, but we highly recommend that students sit for the tests to gain test stamina and experience. The tests may be taken anytime after the student has completed the course and can be arranged by making an appointment with the tutors. Do you offer one-on-one classes? Yes, one-on-one classes are recommended for students who score over 2000 on their diagnostic tests. These students are aiming to raise their scores to over 2100 and are applying for the top Ivy League schools. Over the past few years, we have had many success coaching students who have gone on to Cornell, Stanford, Darmouth, Harvard, and U.C. Berkeley, just to name a few. Generally, we will work only on the student’s weak areas. We normally require about 10 to 12 hours. Individual tuition is $65 per hour. Please note it is sometimes difficult to meet both the student’s and the tutor’s schedules, so please be sure to reserve your spaces early and plan to start your lessons at least one month before your actual test date. Re-sit option Students may re-sit the entire course at a nominal fee of only 50% of the course fee. This is useful for students who are not native speakers of English. Priority will be given to new students. If there is no space, students who wish to re-sit will be wait-listed and will be informed as soon as a spot opens up. Our teachers Our teachers are graduates of Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC L.A. and other prestigious universities with master’s or ph degrees. We are also proud to work with experienced students from Stanford University who got accepted to Harvard and with perfect SAT scores.
