McElroy Tutoring has been growing very quickly over the past few months, so suddenly I'm spending the majority of my weekday mornings and afternoons managing company policy, consulting with local parents, and directing our team of tutors. Then, of course, when the late afternoon/evening rolls around, it's time for private tutoring with my SAT, ACT, and college consulting students (I usually tutor from about 2:30 - 9:00 PM on weeknights, 11AM - 5PM on weekends).
Finally, at night, I try to add to my blog if I have the energy. As you might have guessed, free time has been harder for me to come by! When I first started tutoring in 1998, I had a small but loyal group of students and I could remember how each one of them was progressing like the back of my hand.
Now I work with as many as 100 students a year, and run a small to mid-sized educational company. With all this added responsibility, it has occasionally become difficult to keep precise track of all my students' scores. In response to this need, I've developed a nice, organized system of calculations, formulas, and charts for keeping precise track of our students' SAT and ACT student progress.
All McElroy Tutoring tutors will have access to these graphs, formulas and templates, and parents will also have access at all times throughout the tutoring process. I like to think that our charts are much more dynamic, informative, and understandable than the ones from the big companies. Not to mention the fact that we are providing results from REAL SATs and ACTs, while those other test-prep companies use only imitiation tests made by their own employees. Simply put, you will be assured that your score improvements are real because our tests are 100% authentic.
It is our goal as a tutoring company to provide our students and parents with as much up-to-date information as possible about our students' progress, and to never stop improving our level of service. This system of reports represents another step toward that goal. Below, I have included a sample of one of these improvement charts. (The student named is not a real student; he is a model of a student at the high end of our score improvement range (150-350 points, average 254).
This sample chart does not include much of the more detailed information we provide to company clients, but it will give you an idea.
