Traditional Class, Private Tutoring & Express
Traditional SAT Test Prep Classes
Our small group SAT classes include in-person instruction for both verbal and math sections, as well as diagnostic practice tests with detailed score reports and personalized practice problems. Your student will receive access to our suite of digital SAT practice materials, including 12 full-length practice tests and 1450+ additional questions! Our school-year program includes 4 hours of mock testing, which can be completed at home, 20 hours of class time, and weekly assigned homework.
Our traditional classes start throughout the year, with several classes starting during summer months. During the school year, our traditional class meets weekly on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Please note that in the summer we offer several start dates, with our class meeting 4 days in a row for a total of 18 hours of class time.
Our digital materials package is included in the price of the group class. Private tutoring students add the price of the digital materials to their first session. All student have access for one year.
Private SAT & ACT Tutoring
One to one private tutoring offers complete flexibility in scheduling and areas of focus. This option is great for students that receive testing accommodations like extended time. We also recommend private tutoring for students aiming for a score over 1450 on the SAT or over 32 on the ACT. Our private tutoring students use our suite of digital practice materials, giving them access to full-length diagnostic tests with detailed score reports and practice problem sets. A one-time materials fee is required, and the digital materials are available to your student for one calendar year, regardless of how many sessions you book with ECTC.
Express SAT & ACT Classes
For students who have limited preparation time, our SAT Express and ACT Express classes are the perfect solution. These one-time, intensive sessions are designed for students taking the test in just a few weeks and emphasize the most critical strategies to maximize results in a short timeframe.
For both SAT and ACT, students can select our 90-minute Math Express, 90-minute Reading & Writing Express or both. Our express programs are ideal for test takers looking to boost their confidence and make the most of their remaining study time. Materials provided include a digital practice test, to be taken ahead of class, as well as a paper take home practice test. Students who wish to continue practicing after their class can purchase our digital SAT or ACT suite to keep their momentum going.
SAT & ACT Prep FAQs
Do you offer SAT or ACT prep in East Cobb?
Yes. We offer in-person SAT and ACT prep for students in East Cobb, Marietta, and surrounding areas. Our program focuses on strategy, timing, and targeted skill-building—not just taking practice tests. We partner with Test Innovators to bring a premium test prep experience to our students that includes 12 adaptive practice tests and thousands of extra problems.
How is your SAT prep different from big test prep companies?
We offer three different programs for your child. Small group prep in a traditional class setting, Express sessions for our busiest students, and individual tutoring. We are proud to partner with Test Innovators to offer digital practice tests and thousands of additional practice problems. Your child’s tutor will use the digital materials and your child’s results to quickly identify weaknesses and focus on the areas that will actually move their score.
No busywork—just targeted preparation.
When should my child start SAT or ACT prep?
Most students start 8-10 weeks before their test date for private tutoring and come in once or twice a week for a 55-minute session. Our traditional prep classes last 5 weeks and leads right up to the test day and includes 20 hours of class time plus practice tests completed at home.
If your student has a very short timeline, we recommend our SAT or ACT Express classes which are just 90 minutes and held the weekend right before the SAT.
How much can SAT and ACT tutoring improve a score?
Score improvement varies, but students who are consistent and follow our recommendations typically see meaningful gains. The biggest improvements happen when we combine content review with test-taking strategy. Like anything, the more work you put in the better the results – students who are looking for large score improvements must also practice independently. Don’t worry, we will assign homework!
Do you offer SAT or ACT crash courses or last-minute prep?
Yes. We regularly help students prepare in the weeks (or even days) leading up to the SAT and ACT by focusing on high-impact strategies and the most tested concepts. This can be accomplished in a one on one setting or in our Express classes, which are held the week before the big test day.
Do you help with both math and reading/writing on the SAT and ACT?
Yes. We cover all sections of the ACT and SAT, including math, reading, and writing. We adjust the focus based on the student’s strengths and weaknesses. Our traditional class includes both math and reading; the Express class options allow you to pick one or both; individual tutoring can be completely customized.
How often should students meet for SAT or ACT prep?
Most students meet 1–2 times per week leading up to the test.
Closer to the test date, some students increase frequency for more intensive review.
Do you assign homework or practice between sessions?
Yes—but it’s purposeful. We assign targeted practice to reinforce what was covered and to build familiarity with SAT question types.
