SSAT/ISEE Private School prep

We will offer SSAT and ISEE prep this summer (2023). We advise students to do some prep, since these tests are really measures of how students compare to one another. Since most students prep, those that do not will be at a disadvantage. One can prep without a tutor, of course. One of the main purposes of a tutor in the test prep process is to ensure that the test prep in fact happens. Other ways tutors help are to offer strategy, work with timing, and to fill knowledge gaps, especially in mathematics and vocabulary.

When to Start SAT/ACT Prep

In my opinion, the best time for students to begin their prep for the SAT or ACT is the summer after their Sophomore year. That way, their prep will help them with their PSAT, which will then put them a step ahead in prepping for their SAT/ACT. Ideally they would continue their test prep and then take at least two more tests, one in May or June. The reason for this early effort is that if they are satisfied with either the verbal and/or the math scores from the Spring test then they can spend more effort over the summer preparing their college application essays and visiting college campuses. They may continue a light prep to raise the score of the section that still needs work, but they have the comfort of knowing they are about where they need to be with their test scores, and so there will be less overall stress. It also helps students determine what colleges are realistic to aim for.

Summer 2023 Tutoring and Test Prep

The learning center had a very busy set of Covid years, 2020-2022, and we are preparing for another busy Summer 2023. We continue to find young readers and math students who did not learn well during online schooling and who are still a little bit behind. We are prepared to meet students where they are and to help them progress in a low-stress, summer environment with fun tutors.

College Application Essays

To all rising Seniors…The best college application has a well thought out, personal essay that showcases a student's strengths and personality.  CNL MV offers students guidance as they develop their essays or put the final touches on them.  If rising Seniors do nothing else over the summer to prepare for the upcoming application process, they should consider working on their application essays. Our two college application essay specialists are very good at helping students figure out what they want to say and how best to say it. They offer two very different styles of support, and we can work with parents and students to make the best match.
