One-on-one Test Prep.

Each standardized test has its own idiosyncrasies, but all of them seek to measure some combination of content knowledge and reasoning skills.

For more content-based tests, such as APs (Advanced Placement Tests) and SAT Subject Tests, our tutors use their expertise in the topic to map out a program of study for each student and to insure that students cover, master and memorize the requisite material.

The other admissions tests — SAT, ACT, ISEE, SSAT, SSHSAT, GRE, LSAT, Hunter Test and TACHS — all present reasoning challenges based on simpler content. For these tests, Veritas tutors teach a combination of content, shortcuts and reasoning skills. Our students learn a method that helps them become disciplined, persistent thinkers.

For many students, raising reading levels also plays a crucial part in test preparation. The Veritas Reader helps us accomplish that goal by providing tutors and students with a current, constantly evolving, tagged and categorized list of links to articles of interest from all over the web.

Academic Tutoring.

Veritas tutors make previously daunting tasks doable for our students. We have the expertise to challenge the most competitive students and the poise, empathy and dedication to enjoy lifting up the most academically challenged.

When you work with a Veritas tutor on an academic subject, the tutor will not do your homework for you. You will, of course, get the homework done, but your tutor will be working to insure that you understand not only the immediate lesson, but also how you learned it and how you will apply what you learned to help yourself take on the next lesson.

In addition, several Veritas tutors have distinguished themselves as tutors in the classic sense of the word — educators who work intensively with students in a variety of subject areas and make the world of ideas come to life.

Much has been made about the swirl of multi-media distractions competing for young peoples’ attentions — how hard it’s become for school to compete. We disagree. Everyone enjoys a treat, but no one feels good subsisting on cotton candy. Young people want to learn. We give them the tools to access the substance.

Academic Subjects.

Test Prep Classes.

The first thing to note about the classes we run is that they’re small — usually between six and twelve students. Limiting the numbers allows the teacher to get to know each student, keeping them engaged and challenged.

Most classes encourage students to take one or two discounted tutoring sessions toward the end of the course.

Our classes emphasize a positive group dynamic that makes students feel comfortable with the test while affording them the opportunity to learn from one another’s mistakes.

Classes generally coincide with upcoming test dates.

Skype tutoring works. Most importantly, it comes to you wherever you are.

Our home base in New York City gives us access to a remarkable cohort of ambitious, talented tutors with impressive academic and teaching credentials. With skype, your internet connection gives you access to us.

Skype tutoring started a couple of years ago with a trickle. Now it’s a torrent. Veritas tutors have helped students in Connecticut, New Jersey, California, Massachusetts, Texas, Maryland, Virginia, British Columbia, China, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, South Korea, England, Germany, Italy, Greece, Switzerland — and the list keeps growing.

It’s true that the small screen differs from meeting in person, but students feel comfortable in this idiom and do intense, focused work. Most of our online students never meet their tutors in person, but their scores have gone up by hundreds of points.
