|---|---|
Student-tailoredStudents individual strengths and weaknesses are evaluated based on diagnostic exams. Students are given specific work to help with their shortcomings. | One-size-fits-allPromise individualized courses but actually offer a one-size-fits-all approach. |
A Dedicated, Expert InstructorTrained by Princeton Review, a leader in SAT education, the instructor has taught the SAT for seven years. He also has been an adjunct journalism professor at The State University of New York. During his work as a columnist and reporter at Newsday, a top U.S. newspaper, Richard was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. He isn't just some low-paid instructor hired by Your Score Booster; he's the owner of Your Score Booster, which gets most of its business through referrals. | Lacklustre instructorsYoung, inexperienced instructors who are unable to convey the lessons well to students. |
Top-notch MaterialYour Score Booster has developed material for every section. The exclusive Your Score Booster material includes tips, mnemonics and tricks that help students boost their scores hundreds of points. | Subpar materialMaterial is collected from a variety of unreliable sources, including the Internet. |
College Board TestsYour Score Booster tests students on practice tests directly from College Board, which produces the SAT test taken around the world. | In-house testsSome competitors use material that is not the same as the tests from College Board. |
Pay-as-You-Go-TutoringYSB students pay as they go for tutoring. There's no up-front commitment. There are no packages. Sessions are tailored to each student's strengths and shortcomings, so YSB would never make you commit to 20 hours or 32 hours up front. | Packages and CommitmentsOther SAT companies might offer individual sessions but push students to purchase packages and commitments. |
Strategy and TricksFor tutoring and classes, YSB teaches students mnemonics, tricks and strategies to boost their scores on all three sections. Tests reinforce the exclusive YSB lessons. | TestsOthers merely give students tests and then review the tests because they haven't developed the tricks and strategies. The SAT requires strategy, just not repeating tests. |
SpecializationYSB has specialized in the SAT and ACT since 2005. That laser focus has enabled the company to develop top-notch material to boost scores dramatically. YSB has developed exclusive material for the reading, writing and math sections of the SAT, material that helps students boost their scores dramatically. | Add-onsMany SAT preparation companies are high school math or English tutoring companies that ventured into teaching college-entrance exams. Others SAT preparation companies are college advisory services that tacked on SAT preparation. Still others are colleges who hire students to teach the SAT. |
Vancouver-basedYSB operates right from downtown Vancouver (and travels to students in the region.) | ChainsOthers are part of chains or franchises. Employees may have little invested in the company. |
