I sent questionnaire the same day you sent it to me. As for payment plan I have no idea what your thoughts were for how long she will be in the program and how we should pay- as I said before the money is there I just need to know how to space it outa btw backyard my own ridiculous spending the basement tuitions etc... just in the next month I will have to come up with $200K in additional revenue to just complete those payments.

>> Hi Kathleen;
>> 
>> It was a pleasure working with Finney today. Based on how she responded to what she was learning, I think she will do just fine. 
>> 
>> She assessed herself as being a Hands On learner, which gives me pause about encouraging her to take the current SAT. I told her that once I get her profile - she said you were going to email it to me - we will know better about what to recommend. More importantly, as I work with her, we will have a better sense of how she is doing on the PSAT which as you know, mirrors the new SAT. 
>> 
>> She seems to really want to take the current SAT. I suggested she keep it as an option; it's not necessary she make that decision now. The only test she must take - as all 11th graders must - is the PSAT. She'll have a better sense about the exams as she works through the program and does the practice.
>> 
>> We will be seeing her Monday from 2:30-4:30. At that time we we schedule the remaining 6 in each area, which I believe will be enough for the 10/14 PSAT.
>> 
>> Have you made a decision as to which prepayment option you preferred? (See previous email below.) Finney can bring in the registration form with the tuition payment on Monday.

What an incredible ROI! So if you are on the fence about investing a little more than you had intended for test preparation, let me say that it's well worth the investment. Needless to say, I am looking forward to my second daughter beginning her preparation this summer.  Also, let me add that not only did she score a 31 composite on the ACT, she also learned invaluable critical reading skills that she will certainly take with her to Miami. I thank you, BreakThrough!

>> 
>> Hi Kathleen:
>> 
>> It certainly was a pleasure to speak with you earlier. As I had mentioned, I would like for Finney to take the 60 Second ACT vs. SAT Assessment as well as self-identify what type of learner she is.  Since these assessments revolve around learning style and personality, having this information is the essential first step to finding out her better exam as well times to take. After she takes the assessment, and you confirm, I will contact you to share her results. 
>> 
>> I have attached the brief Student and Parent Profile Questionnaires which will give me even more insight as to Finney's needs and goals; in other words, give me a more complete picture of her as a student, person, and test-taker!
>> 
>> My sense of her is that she will need 8 hours in each area  - math and reading/writing/language. (As we work together and I get an even better understanding of her as a learner, I will let you know if she may need an extra lesson or two.) My goal is to schedule most of her sessions before school begins, so she does't need to come as often between 9/8 and the 10/14 PSAT.
>> 
>> Options for payment of tuition:
>> OPTION #1: PSAT Preparation, 16 hours (ALL students are required to take this test on 10/14 for NMSQT)
>> $2820- $100 prepayment discount = $2720
>> 
>> OPTION: #2:  PSAT + SAT or ACT Prep, 24 total hours. (The SAT or ACT prep hours will be scheduled once we determine the best date for her to take the exam.)
>> $4200 - $200 prepayment discount = $4000
>> 
>> (The above options include the one time materials' fee: all guides curated and written by Breakthrough Test Prep, practice exams and Testing Timer SAT or ACT watch.
>> 
>> OPTION: #3: Pay as you go. The tuition for each 2 hour session, $345 ; $150/hr., with Charles Upton math director, $195/hr. with me, reading/language/writing. Initial session requires the one-time $60 materials' fee.
>> 
>> We look forward to seeing Finney on Thursday, July 16, from 2:30-4:30. I have also attached the registration form, student and parent testimonials, and the 'Interview with Harriet'.
>> 
>> (As indicated on the attached directions, make sure she parks and enters at the Gainsborough side of the house.)
