Important Differences between Dalby and Other SAT Prep Services
We only use of College Board/ETS materials. Some companies use publications from Kaplan, Barrons, Arco, Princeton Review or their own in-house materials. We find those materials substandard.
Weekly, Timed Practice Tests
Believe it or not an astounding number of companies don't do timed practice weekly or they use non-ETS materials (what we term "virtual reality" SATs) for testing. We administer timed official SAT/PSAT tests regularly.
Shorter Classes
We limit instruction to about two hours per class. Many other companies have classes that are 3 or 4 hours long. We find that is too long to hold the students interest. We frequently hear stories of students skipping those classes, or leaving early to avoid the marathon.
Homework Policy
We only give homework if the student requests it or we specifically recommend it to a student. (Exception is weekly vocabulary quizzes which require the student to study at home.) We know that too many students don't do the homework so we do all the work needed on-site during the testing sessions.
Small Class Sizes
Class size is limited to ten or fewer students and the classes are grouped by math scores. We even have an Accelerated SAT class for high scoring students.
Tutor Availability
One of the Dalbys is available by phone or email to answer the student's questions or concerns.
Math Approach
Our math approach is based on learning the math needed, not by skipping large numbers of questions and "back solving" with the "no algebra approach" that many companies seem to embrace.
Tutors Regularly Test
In order to fully understand what students are exposed to regarding testing procedures and tests, our tutors regularly take the same exams as the students.
Tutors Who Love Their Work
To us, it's not just a job. Our tutors truly enjoy working with young minds and can relate to them at their level.
