QUANTITATIVE COURSES
Choose Us Instead
The INSTEAD Academy course of SAT and ACT Mathematics is the right choice. Our senior staff each have a minimum of 10 years of experience teaching and innovating. They bring clarity, inspiration and - most importantly - top scores, and do so more quickly and cost-effectively than any other local or online tutoring option.
Course Content
Our short courses (4 sessions) focus on one of the four core topics tested on the Mathematics sections of the SAT and ACT. At the end of the course, students will control the subject matter and know to identify and execute on the opportunity for a quick solution. Generally speaking - for all but the best students - an investment in a short course will yield a 100 point improvement on the SAT score, and a 3 point improvement for ACT.
Our long courses (12 sessions) follow a training regime more closely aligned with the standard American practice: 12 hours each for Algebra, Number Properties, and Geometry. This course is the better choice for students aiming at a top-twenty American university or a scholarship, or both.
