Should Your Student Consider a Non-traditional College or Program?

It can be a challenging process for college-bound students to find a college that is the right “fit” because the options are so wonderfully varied. There are large public universities, small liberal arts colleges, urban schools, women’s colleges, schools that specialize in the performing or decorative arts, and so on. Once you also factor in the wide array of geographical locations in the United States, it is no wonder the task of choosing a college can seem daunting. There is another sub-category of school to consider, though, and that is the non-traditional college.

Rethinking Study Habits

A recent article in the New York Times sheds new light on old ways of thinking about what are considered “good” study habits. Such things as finding a quiet place to study, sticking to a homework routine, setting goals, and avoiding bribes may be a bunch of hogwash, according to new information.

A+ Test Prep provided superior tutoring custom-tailored to meet my son’s specific needs and learning style. His SAT score increased by 160 points with 12 hours of tutoring!!! That put him well-within range for all of the schools to which he is applying. A+ truly listened to make sure they exceeded our expectations starting with matching our son with Rob. He is an experienced tutor who set goals and developed a specialized plan. Rob taught clear, structured, organized lessons, helped my son plan his practice and homework, and taught test stress-management and relaxation techniques. These lessons also helped fill-in gaps from the pandemic. The writing, reading and math lessons and strategies Rob taught gave Dylan a strong foundation of critical-thinking skills which will serve him well in college, the work-force, and beyond. A+ staff, including Rob, gave prompt, detailed and insightful feedback after each session. You will get ENORMOUS value for your financial investment with A+. I investigated 6 other tutoring companies and am confident A+ was the best for tailoring their tutoring to a program that best fit my son’s learning style!!

This tutoring program literally changed my daughters test scores by 1000 points, and they were so helpful, and communicative with me the entire time. I really recommend them for every student, whether they are trying to make their test scores better, or make their scores above excellent

We chose A+ for Preparation to help our daughter prepare for college entrance exams. May daughter had Pam for the verbal portion of the exam. Pam was amazing! She asked about extra-curricular activities and demonstrated genuine interest in my daughter's role as a student in and outside of the classroom. Pam also noted how important these activities are to colleges. John was the tutor for math and science. He helped my daughter feel comfortable and confident in her skills. My daughter's ACT composite score went up 5 points! I would highly recommend A+ for Test Preparation!

Our experience at A+ Test Prep and Tutoring has been simply the best. Their 13 week program prior to the ACT test helped to prepare our daughter so much so that she improved her score by 7 points. This was beyond expected, and we are very grateful for all the help. Your tutors are hardworking, kind and results focused. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for serious results.

The tutors at A+ Test Prep and Tutoring provided my son with the test-taking strategies and encouragement he needed to become more confident in his ability to do well on the SAT. With his tutors' guidance and a lot of hard work, Peter improved his score on the SAT by 100 points!

It was a pleasant surprise to find that while studying with A+ Test Prep my child actually enjoyed learning to take the SAT! The tutor was calm and supportive and very knowledgable about the content of the test as well as testing strategies. The office almost immediately answered all of my questions and was friendly and helpful. They made the potentially stressful experience of taking the SAT a positive and interesting challenge for my child.

A+ was fantastic to work with. They were flexible in every way -- in finding times to meet and being available online or in person. Our son really liked his tutors and he's really happy with his ACT scores. As a parent, I liked how available Dan and his staff were to answer my questions. We'll definitely use A+ for our younger kids!
