This is a sum of more than 1.4 million dollars in academic scholarships. Everyone got into their first choice and most students made all three high schools on the TACHS. Many were accepted to the Honors and/or Scholars programs.
On average, each student earned over $35,000 in scholarships over four years.
17 out of the 40 students earned a scholarship. This is almost half of students I tutored.
14 of those students earned at least $25,000 in combined scholarships. This is slightly more than 1 out of every 3 students who I tutored.
8 students earned over $50,000 in combined scholarships. This is 1 out of every 5 students that I tutored.
Additionally, tutors who used my resources and were mentored by me helped their students earn scholarships and entrance to Xavier, Farrell, St. Peter’s, St. John Villa Academy, St. Joseph Hill, Notre Dame Academy, Archbishop Molloy, Chaminade, Christian Brother’s Academy, and many other schools in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and even Queens. This totaled over $200,000 in scholarships.
These scholarships were a large percentage of the total scholarships given by these schools. I will post further analysis on this and the quantifiable value that we add in the future here.
Preparation for the rigorous high school entrance exams in New York such as the Test for Admission to Catholic High Schools and High School Placement Tests has already begun. Contact me to talk about how we can get the best results from your student. Sixth and seventh grade is a great time to start, not only because of the impending high school entrance exams but also because grades in 7th grade matter heavily for entrance into most high schools. Most topics in Algebra, Physics, Chemistry, Math, and Calculus rely on concepts learned/mastered around 7th and 8th grade.
I like for all students to take a practice test before our first lesson. We use this to create an optimal plan, compare to future practice tests, and group students together with similar scores and abilities.
