A: Victory Step recommends private tutoring for students with a more rigorous schedule. For students who can't commit to a specific weekly class, we have tutoring packages that are developed around a student's schedule and customized to fit his/her personality and needs. Victory Step profiles the student to find the best instructor who would work with the student.

A: For the student's convenience, private tutoring is held at student's home residence (as long as a parent is present). An alternative option would be at a local library.

A: Depending on how many hours remain, you may put them towards a classroom program, or simply use them at a later time, as they do not expire.

A: The positive changes in your child at home and in school will be obvious. Additionally, we will give quizzes and practice tests periodically to see how much he or she has advanced in each area of need. Victory Step’s staff will share weekly reports with you and hold meetings to discuss how your child is advancing through his or her individualized program.

A: Of course! Victory Step’s tutoring students receive all of Victory Step’s materials - curriculum, vocab list, and ten practice tests. Students can search for a proctored location nearby on our website. If there are no locations in the area, or if a student has conflicts on Saturday mornings, he or she have the option to take the test at home. Students are provided with self-proctoring instructions to take the test at home.

A: Yes, all course materials are included in course fee. There are no additional materials to purchase and you will be provided with everything you need to effectively prepare for the SAT or ACT Exam. You will receive everything on the first day of exam or lecture. Our materials include:
- An official study guide with practice tests
- 10 Official Full-Length Practice Tests
- Homework Problems for each lesson
- A comprehensive curriculum book
- Detailed and Analytical score reports for each test.

A: The average Victory Step student preps with us for 3-5 months of weekly sessions. If your goals are higher, or if you are more challenged by the testing process, timing may vary. We also offer a free consultation that includes a diagnostic quiz to help you assess which plan works best. The precise length depends on several factors:
- The student’s goals
- Student’s tutoring needs, as demonstrated by the diagnostic test, on periodic practice tests, etc.
- The number of times the student requires a tutor each week
- When the student plans to take the official test.

A: Our head instructors work with you to get a clear idea of your child’s personality and what type of tutor would work best for him or her. The head instructor then passes the information to our regional director, who selects a highly compatible tutor in your area. And if you think the match isn’t a good one, we will replace the tutor and repeat the session for no charge. We guarantee that you will love your tutor!

A: Always! Victory Step believes that it is imperative to keep one tutor throughout the process so the student and tutor can create a bond. This helps gain insight into a student's learning style.

A: If you need to cancel a session, we ask that you do so at least 24 hours in advance.

A: Depending on your goal, you should expect 1 to 5 hours of homework a week. Test prep is a serious long-term endeavor.

A: Yes and No. We offer a score improvement guarantee. Your child will increase his score from his past PSAT or SAT/ACT Exam. However, we do not offer specific guarantees. Learning is a complex process, and standardized tests are designed to be challenging for even the strongest students. Many factors affect the outcome of a program: the length of the program, the number of meetings and tests, the student’s starting point, hours of studying, and others. We control these variables as much as possible while addressing concerns throughout the process. We also use previously administered official SAT/ACT tests to monitor scores, so that we can gauge progress and predict test performance on the real test day. Our teachers and tutors have a professional, personal, and ethical commitment to making sure that our students perform their level best on test day!

A: Yes. We teach essay building and how to write specifically towards the test to help students achieve their maximum essay score. Students will be working on essays at home and in class, with their instructor and peers.
