How Can Chariot Learning Help?

Chariot Learning offers everything an aspiring college graduate needs to get into a dream college and stay there!

 

SAT & ACT PREP

Chariot Learning specializes in the kind of SAT & ACT prep that works: one-to-one, in-home, laser-targeted, and skills-oriented!

The Chariot Learning curriculum, designed specifically for individual instruction by a recognized expert in test preparation, is delivered by tremendously skilled and experienced instructors.  As a result, our students earn their optimal scores by learning the reading, writing, and reasoning skills they’ll need to succeed in college.

By leveraging our unique unified curriculum, tested approaches, and targeted testing and review using official practice exams, we ensure our students are completely confident and ready for peak performance on test day!

One commitment we make to our families is that all Chariot Learning students are prepared for both the SAT and ACT. This allows our students the opportunity to lead with the test scores that best enhance their college applications.

READING & WRITING

Are you the parent of a freshman or sophomore wondering what you can do now to give your child an edge on the SAT and ACT? Perhaps you’re just worried that your son or daughter doesn’t have the reading or writing skills to keep up in school.

We’ve made the connection between the reading and writing skills needed for success on the SAT & ACT and those needed in college. Our Reading & Writing program is designed to teach students the reading and writing skills they’ll need on the tests, in college, and in their careers at a time when they’ll have a profound impact on academic success right now.

Contact us to put your child on the path to develop the kind of reading and writing skills that his or her future demands!

 

ACADEMIC COACHING

Your child’s success in high school and college depends on much more than academic knowledge. Very often, flaws in fundamental skills like organization, time management, or note-taking can undermine even the most determined student. Sometimes another teacher isn’t the answer… maybe your child needs a coach.

Our Academic Coaching program will help your son or daughter realize his or her true academic potential. Your coach will work one-to-one with your child in your home to develop these critical productivity skills and then remain in touch via e-mail, phone, and text to help your child stay on track with school assignments. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it?

SAT & ACT Prep

SAT & ACT Prep That Actually Works!

The SAT and ACT are not only incredibly important tests, but they’re also extremely teachable. So why are so many test prep experiences unsatisfying? You’ve probably heard of students who did some sort of prep, yet failed to see higher scores. Maybe your son or daughter has already invested a lot of time and effort (and your money) without results. How can you make sure the next SAT or ACT in your family’s future is a stepping-stone to success?

You’ll find all kinds of test prep programs out there — from books and software to classes and tutoring packages — but the sad truth is that they don’t offer what most students need. How can they? Every child is different, yet most of these programs are the same every time.

But one type of test preparation does work. Even critics of SAT & ACT coaching admit that tutoring offers the greatest opportunity for substantial score increases. At Chariot Learning, we focus on 1-1 SAT & ACT tutoring. The way we work with you makes all the difference:

    • in your home or at a location that’s comfortable for your son or daughter
    • on your child’s schedule: afternoons, evenings, weekends, even school holidays
    • truly individualized based on your child’s needs, goals, and learning style

Even better, when you work with Chariot Learning, you can be confident that you’ll be benefitting from massive experience. Mike Bergin, our founder, is recognized nationally as a leader in test preparation. Our amazing team of passionate educators, which includes certified teachers and college professors, brings phenomenal test knowledge and instructional insight to every session. No wonder our students tend to earn such stupendous score increases. Contact us now to get started!

Another reason why Chariot Learning is different from any other organization you’ve worked with is our unique methodology, specially designed for individual instruction and focused not just on strategies but on the enduring reading, writing, and reasoning skills your child will need to thrive in college. We couple the Chariot Learning curriculum with official practice tests to ensure that your child has every advantage in earning his or her very best score on test day.

There’s so much more you should know about why what we offer is SAT & ACT prep that actually works, about how we can help your child lead with the test scores that best enhance his or her college applications, about how your son or daughter can earn the scores needed to get into that dream school while developing the skills to really succeed there. Call or e-mail now to learn more and set up your first tutoring session.

According to the National Association for College Admission Counseling, even a small increase in standardized test scores can make a difference in their admission decisions of many selective colleges. Many of our students increase their test scores by 10, 20, or even 30 percentile points, which is equivalent to hundreds of SAT points. Isn’t that what you’re looking for? Contact us to get started!

If your child is a freshman or sophomore, this may be too soon to focus on the SAT & ACT. However, this is the perfect time to build stronger reading, writing, and academic organizational skills. We can help! Contact us about our Reading & Writing and Academic Coaching programs.  

Practice Tests

Proctored Practice SAT & ACT Exams

One of the irrefutable cornerstones of effective test preparation is taking full-length practice tests under simulated test conditions. Not only do practice tests provide students insight into the content and questions types they’ll encounter when taking the real thing, but the proctored group experience also evokes all the stress of an official exam…. believe it or not, that’s actually a good thing!

We are proud to work with the Brighton Memorial Library and Macedon Public Library to offer free practice exams to local students and free information sessions to parents. These tests are open to all area students, but seating is limited. Parent Q&A sessions are open to any parent interested in learning more about the tests, why they matter, and what you can do about them.

NOTE: We always administer tests from the most recent ACT and SAT student bulletins. If your child has already taken the current test, contact us for options.

  • Tests begin right after the doors open, so students should arrive 5 minutes early.
  • Students should bring pencils, snacks, watches, and calculators.
