Skip the Science, We’ll Do It For You.
Yes, twenty-four thousand dollars…
A 100% possible.
But why should you believe me?
Well, I have the Bright Futures Scholarship, and for the past two years, I’ve been able to look at my tuition costs and smile.
It feels incredible to know my costs are so low and, more importantly, that I won’t be buried in student debt.
Imagine that feeling — that could be you and your child.
And no, this does not require FAFSA applications or any essays.
You just need four simple things: service/work hours, course requirements, GPA, and SAT.
And we help you with the hardest one…
Being a Cypress Bay graduate, it was always common to see students with perfect applications—perfect GPA, extracurriculars, and course load.
Yet, they couldn’t crack the SAT. Month after month, they saw no improvement from their initial score. But why is that?
Doesn’t a high GPA mean a high SAT score?
Well, no. The SAT tests material in uncommon ways. It makes connections you’ve never thought of, adds complexity with extra conditions, and generally looks at problems through a different lens.
For example, even though students may know that the mean is the sum of all numbers divided by the number of numbers, they may not think to use this concept backwards: that mean multiplied by the number of numbers equals the sum of the numbers.
The SAT is filled with these types of questions, not only in math but also in reading.
To crack the SAT, we need a different strategy, one that involves learning how we learn
Most students study things they already know well because it feels comfortable.
It’s really hard to study our weaknesses, even when we know it will help us grow the most.
Learning to handle the discomfort of not knowing and feeling like we’re not good enough is a skill we all need to learn new things.
Studying in the wrong way is incredibly common.
Techniques like re-reading, re-writing, and re-listening are often taught in schools, but all of these methods are ineffective.
Research over the past 20 years has been incredibly clear: to learn effectively, you need to retrieve, space, and interleave your practice.
Most students neglect these strategies and then wonder why, even after studying for 5+ hours a day, they see no improvement.
And, of course, as with any goal, consistency is key to success.
A student could follow all the other principles to the letter, but without consistent practice, they will not improve.
Improving your SAT score is just like pushing a boulder through a mountain—it requires diligence and consistency.
With AATutors, we bring all these key elements together.
We push students to confront their weaknesses, keep them consistent through regular lessons, and provide optimal science-backed learning techniques (we’re nerds about this).
All so that your child just has to worry about showing up.
