+ How does JXN tutoring work?

The tutor will meet with a student one-on-one, using practice tests to evaluate gaps in knowledge and formulate strategies for the individual student. Tutoring is most effective in a one-on-one setting, and so JXN Tutoring prefers to avoid scheduling one session for multiple students.

+ How long does a session last and how much does it cost?

Tutoring sessions are generally one hour in person. Online appointments are available for half hour sessions.

+ Who do I make checks payable to?

Effective March 14, 2016, please make all checks payable to JXN Tutoring. Cash is still accepted and cash payments are unaffected.

+ Do I need to purchase a specific workbook for studying for a standardized test?

Yes. Whenever possible, we work exclusively with books written by the test makers or official test material released by the test makers online. For the ACT, the book is The Offical ACT Prep Guide. Invariably, practice tests written by test prep companies not affliated with the test are of lower quality, frequently have outright errors, and do not necessarily reflect the actual test content.

+ Should I bring my computer?

If you are taking a computer based test, it is best to bring your computer to practice.

+ How many sessions should I schedule for a certain test?

There is no good way to answer this question. Every student learns differently (indeed, that is why one-on-one tutoring is valuable) and it is impossible to know what sort of maximum benefit is realistic without meeting with a student several times.

However, it is common for students to see the greatest benefit to tutoring for the ACT/SAT in the first six to eight sessions, so that is often a smart number of sessions to plan for before a test.

+ Can we meet at a different location than the one listed?

At this time, no.

+ Do you tutor for the GRE/LSAT/GMAT/MCAT etc...?

We can definitely work with students on the GRE. Inquire by e-mail about any other test.
