Private Tutors Supercharge Your Test Prep

Studying for standardized tests like the ACT, SAT, and ISEE is rarely considered fun. And while Piqosity’s online, personalized software makes the game plan easy to follow and individualized, technology still can’t empathize and strategize to the same extent as a caring human.

When you choose to work with a Piqosity private tutor, they’ll walk you through your test prep from start to finish including:

  • setting score goals and understanding the steps to achieve them
  • developing a practice plan that is consistent and manageable
  • internalizing test-taking strategies and time management skills
  • tutoring you on core concepts in math and English
  • holding you accountable and pushing you to succeed

Not All Private Tutors are Created Equally

Piqosity’s private tutors are the best of the best. All of our tutors:

  • scored in the top 1% on the ACT or SAT
  • are brilliant yet also excellent explainers
  • are thoroughly vetted and trained by our management team
  • generally work out of our central Houston headquarters
  • benefit from our more than twenty years of tutoring experience

Online Private Tutoring FAQs

What does the free consultation entail?2025-03-17T15:29:04-05:00

The initial consultation is for us to get to know each other. This approximately 20-minute call is between Piqosity’s Advisor and the student’s parent/s. The call can occur either via phone or web conference and includes discussing key points like:

  • Your child’s goals and timeline
  • Their academic history
  • Personality and interests (to better help with tutor staffing)

The initial consultation is no-charge, and there’s no obligation to make a purchase if you decide not to move forward.

How do parents know the tutoring is good? Can they sit in?2025-03-06T14:29:14-06:00

We don’t generally advise that parents sit in on a tutoring session, because their presence usually causes the student distress (same reason why parents cannot usually tutor their own kids without frustration). Instead:

  1. Parents will receive written notes from the tutor after each session via e-mail
  2. Recordings of tutoring sessions are available upon request

All of Piqosity’s tutors are brilliant and well-supported by our management team including:

  1. Background checked

  3. Review previously assigned homework

How often should I meet with my tutor?2025-03-06T14:16:25-06:00
