Summer: Making Every Moment Count

Last updated May 11, 2023

Summer is here and gone all too fast. Barbecues, pool parties, vacation trips, fireworks—with so many fun activities, Memorial Day becomes Labor Day in a flash. However, in between weekend trips and rushing to your summer job, consider investing some of those hours in your future.
Without paper deadlines and the pressure of tests, you can get a jump on SAT or ACT prep, prepare for upcoming courses, strengthen weak skills, or make solid ones even stronger.

 (Rising juniors) Take the SAT and ACT Practice Tests. Don’t hesitate. Dive right in! The best way to decide which test better showcases your strengths is to take both proctored practice tests. You can then review the results with an A+ Director who will help you understand your scores, help you determine which test is a better fit, and make a test prep plan.

 Work on College Essays. Summer is the perfect time to work on your college application essays since school is out and you have more time to focus on this critical aspect of your applications.

 Prepare for an Upcoming Course. Anticipating AP Chemistry or English in the fall? Get a head start on the periodic table or MLA citations with one of our experts and AP Test Prep. Start the new school year with confidence instead of butterflies in the stomach! You may choose tutoring in one of our offices (Jenkintown or North Wales) or in the comfort of your own home.

 Work on a Weak Skill Area. Sometimes a little skill-building is necessary before you tackle test prep. Bolster your knowledge with A+’s Grammar, Math, and Vocabulary Foundations Programs over the summer prior to doing an SAT or ACT course in the fall.

 Do Enrichment Work. There is no such thing as perfect writing; writing can always be improved. This goes for reading and math too. Write stronger essays and increase comprehension and reading speed with some one-on-one sessions. The results of your work will benefit you both academically and personally.

 Improve Executive Function Skills. Summer can be a great time to learn goal-setting, time management, organizational skills, or another skill you need to improve.

But don’t forget to enjoy! Remember the old saying, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”? (Well, before your time, maybe.) The point is, take some time to appreciate summer as you’re laying the foundation for your future. Eat an ice cream sandwich. Sit under a beach umbrella and don’t forget the sunscreen!

   Best Decision Ever!

A+ Tutoring proved to be a transformative experience for me, surpassing all my expectations. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend A+ Tutoring to any parent or guardian seeking academic improvement and aiming to unlock their child’s full potential.

Prior to selecting A+, I carefully researched and evaluated other services. My goals were twofold: to prepare my son for the standardized testing required for preparatory school and college applications, and to enhance his time management skills and study habits.

Mr. John’s personalized approach resonated with my son’s personality and specific learning needs. Despite my son’s demanding sports schedule, Mr. John was incredibly flexible and accommodating. The sessions were comprehensive, combining instruction, engaging conversations, and homework assignments to reinforce existing concepts and introduce new ones in advanced math, English, and science.

The tangible outcomes were apparent: not only did my son’s grades improve by at least one grade level, but he also secured early admission to prep school! Moreover, I observed a significant boost in his confidence and overall demeanor.

I am deeply grateful to Mr. John, Ms. Dorothea, and Mr. Dan for their exceptional dedication and support. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that we felt fully supported throughout the process. Their contributions have made a profound impact on my son’s academic journey, maximizing the value of my investment.

   I just wanted to thank A+ for helping my son achieve his goals. He worked with 2 instructors Andrew and Barbara for both the SAT and AP exams. Whatever they did it was magic! Not only did he get the results he wanted- he surpassed them. It was hands-off for me, he scheduled and communicated with his instructors on his own, which taught him responsibility and accountability. Yet, their lesson follow-up emails kept me in the loop. I can’t recommend them any more highly. If you decide to use them you won’t be disappointed, you will see a student who is better prepared for their studies as well as any tests they choose to take- they even seem more mature and confident. A+ I’m giving you an A+ Thank you so much, Leah Reinhard.

   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!
