Class Tutor of the Month: Joe K.

Compass tutors are hand selected from the top ranking experts. Beyond premier academic acumen they have to pass a proprietary series of qualifiers to ensure they can communicate that knowledge in a dynamic and highly effective manner.

There are no contractors or temps. Every tutor is a full Compass employee who has undergone a rigorous multi-stage qualification process and ongoing training curriculums designed to keep them well positioned to help students absolutely shine.

Compass Guarantee

The Compass Guarantee: We are the absolute best in the business at test prep, have the most effective technology, utilize proven processes, and have been setting the bar for over two decades. We put students first, give them everything they need to succeed, and teach them exactly how to hit their target score on test day.

Don’t Trust Money-Back Guarantees: They are almost never honored, there is always fine print, it never comes without a big fight, usually too late for the student outcome, and is designed to add financial pressure to the tutors which always adds stress to the students (multiple studies show this can negatively impact SAT score by ~80+ points).

Frequently Asked Questions:

How many students per class?

Maximum class size is 15 students as this allows group tutoring with an individual focus. Because we offer so many different time slots, days, and classes, actual class sizes can be much smaller.

Do you register us for the official exam?

No, Compass cannot register for the official exam on a students behalf. We encourage students to secure a space for an official exam date prior to the start of class. You can register for the SAT here and for the ACT here.

What kind of score improvement can we expect to see from this class?

The truth is that score improvements vary widely and depend on several factors:

  1. What is the student’s starting or baseline score?
  2. What level of math has a student completed prior to the class?
  3. Does the student attend all instructional sessions and complete all homework assignments and practice test sessions?

For a typical student starting in the 1000-1200 range on the SAT or 20-25 Composite on the ACT, we expect to see 100-200 points of SAT improvement or the equivalent of 3-6 points on the ACT scale.

How do the practice test sessions work for students with accommodations?

Students with accommodations will be able to complete their practice tests within extended time sessions. Compass provides proctored sessions for students 50% and 100% extended time. Please speak with your instructor or our testing coordinator to share your needs.

If I have a conflict for one of my classes, can I attend a different section?

Students are only able to attend the class section they are registered for. However, classes are recorded and are available to all registered students for viewing and instructors can be contacted during office hours to answer questions.

What if I can’t make a proctored practice test session?

Practice tests can be self-administered at any time. We also have a flexible schedule of online proctoring sessions for make-up options.

If the section that I want to attend is full, will there be a waitlist?

Yes, please fill out this form or contact us at classes@compassprep.com. We’ll alert you if and when space becomes available or another section is opened for enrollment.

Do you offer financial aid?

Yes, we have some limited scholarship funds available. Most often, requests for aid come from our partner institutions and/or teachers who nominate a deserving student. Our ability to offer aid is also tied to the enrollment numbers for a particular section. Please contact us at classes@compassprep.com for more information if you qualify for financial aid.
