More detail about our services
Our firm develops complex and the most successful strategy for admission to US colleges, universities, or private high schools. We work with high school students starting at 8th grade and above. The key to success for getting accepted to US college, university, or private high school is exceptional knowledge of English (spoken, written, and grammar), and ability to quickly and correctly solve mathematical problems formulated in English.
We use individual approach to each student. Before we start working with the potential student, the student and/or her parents provide us with as much information as possible about the student: grades in school, standardized test results (specifically, ACT, SAT, and TOEFL, or other exams of English and mathematics), details of extracurricular activities (sports, music, volunteer work, and other), details of school, sport, and other similar achievements (A+ and A grades, wins or high results in school Olympiads, wins in sporting competitions, and other successful performances). If the student did not yet take ACT and SAT exams that are necessary for admission to US college or university, we will ask the student to take such diagnostic tests at her home, following the time requirement for each section. For that we will email the student the ACT and SAT exam examples to take.
Once we have and considered all that information, we will discuss with the student and her parents the action plan, and the efforts necessary from the student to help the student achieve her goals. We start with assessment of the level of knowledge of English, and mathematical preparation. If the knowledge of English is determined to be inferior, we can recommend and help the student to get into the immersion or other advanced English classes in USA or in Moscow. Our recommendations might also include one-on-one tutoring sessions with our English tutors, one-on-one tutoring sessions with one of our mathematics tutors conducted in English, one-on-one tutoring sessions with one of our tutors preparing the student to take necessary standardized exams (TOEFL, ACT, or SAT), and recommendation on how to expand and improve the quality of the extracurricular activities. Depending on the age and goals of the student and her parents, we assist in preparing admission materials to apply to US private schools (up to 10 schools) or to US colleges and universities (up to 20 schools).
PREPARATION OF ADMISSION MATERIALS TO US COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND US PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Pointed school and extracurricular activity planning is the first step in this process. Preparing the set of materials needed to apply to a US college, university, or private school, we especially bring up the strong facets of the student, helping her to shine in the very competitive environment and be accepted to school. We help develop necessary academic program and recommend summer internships and summer programs, both in Moscow and abroad. taking into account the goals and abilities of the student, we develop a strategic list of target colleges and universities (or private schools) based on academic, sport, and other achievements of the student. Our experts assist students prepare convincing personal essays that are part of the application package, starting from initial brainstorming and finishing with completion. We advise how to select teachers that are writing reference letters and organize all necessary information, including highlighting the key achievements of the pupil.
Our firm helps parents plan the campus visits and provides careful preparation of the pupil for the interview with the campus representatives that take place during these visits. We recommend to the student how to best demonstrate her interest to that particular college or university. Furthermore, we assist student in writing letters demonstrating continuous interest in the university in case if she was placed on the waiting list, or admission was deferred.
TUTORING SERVICES
Using the results of the official diagnostic ACT and SAT tests that the pupils take prior to working with us, we help them decide which of the two tests is better for them to take. We also set the goals for the student and give them clear guidance on what they have to do to achieve the highest possible result.
Our teachers constantly and carefully observe the progress of the students, develop individual study plan, and effectively determine areas requiring deeper attention and study. Due to these lessons, tests, and strategies that students use during preparation for tests, teachers provide their students with knowledge required to achieve the highest possible test score.
We keep in constant contact with our tutors of ACT / SAT / TOEFL in order to have an understanding and ability to relay to the student and/or parents the exact assessment of her current preparation level and likelihood of admission to a particular US college or university.
Our experienced teachers use patented and other unique study materials to provide students with the ability to be proficient in test materials. Weekly sessions get students acquainted with rhythm of the tests and teach them to deal with the pressure caused by limited time provided during the tests. Moreover, careful observation of the progress of the scores for the weekly homework allow the pupil know exactly where she stands and what improvements can be made.
Our teachers will find time for the tutoring sessions to fit the busy schedule of the pupil.
After studying with us, and after putting needed effort into the study, the students will be fully equipped to the tests of their choice.
