Specialized one-on-one test preparation for Eaton Academy students in Roswell, Georgia. Diagnostic-first, fully remote, and designed around how your student actually learns.
Eaton Academy is built on a simple premise: design the program around the student. The SAT and ACT do the opposite. They are deliberately rigid, with fixed timing, fixed formats, and a question style that rewards pattern recognition and pacing strategy more than deep classroom mastery. A student who has thrived at Eaton because the school met them where they are can find these tests uniquely uncomfortable, not because the content is beyond them, but because the format is structured to penalize the flexibility their school provides.
That mismatch is solvable, but only with preparation that treats the test as its own subject. A strong GPA at Eaton tells colleges that your student can learn. A strong SAT or ACT score tells colleges that your student can perform under standardized conditions. Both signals matter, and the second one is exactly what targeted preparation is built to deliver.
Every engagement begins with a comprehensive diagnostic. We do not assume your student needs a specific number of hours, a specific section focus, or a specific pacing strategy until we have data. The diagnostic identifies:
The diagnostic is the difference between a tutoring plan and a guess. Eaton students benefit from this approach more than most because their academic profiles are often non-standard, and a generic plan would waste the time their custom schedule has already optimized.
The SAT and ACT measure overlapping skills in meaningfully different formats. The SAT, now fully digital and adaptive, gives students more time per question but penalizes weak algebra fluency more than the ACT does. The ACT runs faster, includes a dedicated science reasoning section, and rewards students who can pattern-match quickly across passages.
For Eaton students, the right answer is not always obvious. Students who process carefully and value time often prefer the SAT. Students who read quickly, recognize patterns, and have strong working memory often perform better on the ACT despite its tighter clock. We use the diagnostic to make this call, not a guess.
Eaton students who already have documented accommodations through their school can typically transfer those accommodations to the SAT through the College Board’s Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) process, and to the ACT through ACT’s accommodations request process. Common approved accommodations include extended time (50% or 100%), extra breaks, a separate testing room, and a reader or scribe.
The application process is paperwork-heavy and runs on its own timeline. Approvals can take six to seven weeks for initial requests and longer for appeals. We routinely help families understand the documentation requirements and timing so the test date is not the first time anyone realizes the request was incomplete.
A standard engagement runs 10 to 16 weeks, with one to two sessions per week. Sessions are 60 to 90 minutes, fully remote, and include video, shared documents, and real-time whiteboard work. Every session is with the same instructor, with continuity that group classes and rotating tutors cannot match.
The first phase focuses on content gaps identified in the diagnostic. The middle phase shifts to question-type strategy and pacing. The final phase moves to full-length practice tests under realistic conditions, with detailed review of every missed question. Students typically take the official SAT or ACT once partway through the engagement to establish a real baseline, then again at the end of the program.
Average improvement is in the 150 to 300+ point range on the SAT, with students regularly scoring 1500 or higher. Students who start earlier, engage consistently, and complete assigned practice between sessions see the largest gains.
Eaton’s College Exploratory program supports students preparing for the postsecondary transition, and many of those students will encounter the Accuplacer or a similar placement test at their college of choice. Strong placement scores can let students skip remedial coursework, which means starting college on track for a four-year graduation timeline rather than five, and saving the tuition cost of non-credit remedial classes.
We prepare students for the Accuplacer’s Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, Quantitative Reasoning, and Advanced Algebra and Functions sections, with a focus on the specific question types and pacing the test uses. The preparation is short, targeted, and high-leverage.
Pricing reflects the fact that every plan is custom and every session is one-on-one with the same instructor. Families can expect a clear estimate after the diagnostic, with no surprise charges and no upsells. The free consultation is the right starting point: we will discuss your student’s profile, your timeline, and your target schools before recommending anything.
Every engagement begins with a complimentary consultation. Limited availability, inquire today.
