How it works
A straightforward process for turning practice tests into a focused weekly plan.
1
Free consultation
We review the student's goals, timeline, current score, and main challenges. You'll leave this low-pressure call with a clear understanding of the exact steps needed to reach your target score.
2
Tutor matching & strategy
Before sessions begin, our team reviews your student's baseline skills, section needs, learning style, and schedule. We then recommend a best-fit tutor and build a customized, week-by-week roadmap focused on score growth.
3
Weekly one-on-one tutoring
Students meet with a tutor to review mistakes, learn test strategies, and build consistency. Meanwhile, parents are kept completely in the loop with detailed weekly email updates on their progress.
Choose the right level of support.
Some students need a focused review before test day. Others need a complete prep plan across several months. Ascensa offers clear tutoring packages based on your student's timeline, score goal, and current confidence level.
