A-List Special Offer: Albertson Soccer Club

As back to school season approaches, it’s important for students to begin thinking seriously about SAT preparation. The PSAT is offered in October, and the scores will be an important baseline for where students stand in terms of SAT readiness.  It’s important for athletes to get to work raising scores for the SAT as coaches begin looking for prospective students to fill their team.  A-List Education’s expert staff would be happy to answer any of your questions in terms of what the scores actually mean for admission and what steps you can take to improve your child’s chances of gaining acceptance to a great college.

It’s a good idea to start preparing sooner rather than later. As junior year progresses, students will have more and more commitments: soccer, finals, Regents prep, SAT subject tests, AP exams, etc. And as stated above, if colleges are looking at your athlete, coaches will want to have early scores, so they can get a good sense of how the team is shaping up. Starting the process now will eliminate stress in the end.

A-List is offering Albertson Soccer Club athletes and their families $100 OFF ANY TUTORING PACKAGE of 12 or more sessions!

  • A-List senior staff have 75+ years of combined experience and have helped thousands of students dramatically raise test scores
  • Individual and small group in-home tutoring for tests including the SAT and ACT
    • Individual tutoring starting at $150/hour
    • Small group tutoring as low as $70/hr
  • Fun and engaging learning environment + expert, dynamic tutors
  • Official Proctored Diagnostic Tests + detailed score reports
  • Use of revolutionary online tools and technology:  Vocab Videos and College Essay Organizer!

“The A-List team creates an experience that prepares students for the SAT, ACT, SAT II etc. This helps prepare each student so that they know what to expect on test day. I have had a wonderful experience using A-List. My tutor was not just a teacher, but a friend. Junior and senior year carry a lot of stress, but with the A-List crew and their help, I was able to overcome many obstacles.”

“I would absolutely be remiss if I did not take the opportunity to thank everyone at A-List for all of their help the past few years…There are not enough accolades to be given. I just want to thank you for all your patience, devotion, and hard work. It’s obvious to me that you TRULY care about these kids, and enjoy what you do. As you know, half of this story has a very happy ending…son #1 got into school of his choice. Now, we’re waiting for the college decisions for son #2. We’ve got our fingers crossed. I cannot thank you enough.”

A-List Discount: Graduate School Test Prep & Applications

Scores on graduate school exams are often critical to being accepted into a program of your choice. Unlike undergraduate admissions that look at a myriad of factors to determine one’s acceptance into the school, graduate tests are a significant component to admissions. In addition, graduate school programs are far smaller than undergraduate programs and thus more competitive.

We offer customized preparation for the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT tests and assistance with brainstorming and editing essays and completing the applications.

A-List is pleased to be offering our valued clients $100 off any graduate school package purchased this summer! To take advantage of this offer, contact us directly at 646-216-9187!
