Test Preparation
MyEdMaster offers three formats for test preparation: personalized tutoring in a small group setting, classroom style instruction, and one-to-one online instruction so that students may receive tutoring at times convenient to them and without leaving their homes. We are open seven days a week and are very flexible in our times and programs. Your child can even switch formats based on her or his needs and preferences. Personalized and online tutoring can be for as much time per session as you like. Your child can have a one-hour session, one and one half-hour session, two-hour session or longer. We know that different kids need different amounts of time to learn, so we don’t set fixed amounts of time for our classes. We also know that people’s schedules can change. For our personalized tutoring and online sessions, you can decide when to bring and pick up your child.
Our SAT group instruction meets 9am to 12 noon on Sundays online. Our Academies of Loudoun/Thomas Jefferson group instruction meets 9 am to 12 noon on Saturdays online. Test preparation tutoring and online instruction are available all other times we are open. Tuition for classroom style instruction is $72 per class, and $40 per hour for personalized and online tutoring. In-person instruction is available on a walk-in basis on Sundays from 1-5 pm at the Courtyard Marriott at 13715 Sayward Boulevard in Herndon where we rent its meeting room.
The results we have speak for themselves. Many of our students score in the 1500’s or even get perfect scores on their SATs. Most students score in the 30s on their ACTs. Roughly 75% of students get accepted to Thomas Jefferson or Academies of Loudoun. Almost all students taking math placement tests or CogAT/NNAT tests for advanced math classes or gifted and talented programs get accepted into those programs. Check out our Success Stories page for more on our successes.
Note: for the 1-1 tutoring sessions, no-show sessions (those for which the student does not show up and are not cancelled ahead of time) will be charged $40.
