SCOREBUILDERS is a one-on-one, standardized test preparer–SATS…I & II, ACTs–with a major difference.

SCOREBUILDERS helps build students’ scores by consulting with each student and mapping the pathway to success:

• detective work
• discipline
• abstract reasoning
• strategy and technique
• knowledge
• confidence building

SCOREBUILDERS provides the means for its students to succeed:

• working interactively with each student to solve actual test problems
• understanding the student’s psyche and his/her relationship with the test
• developing the student’s techniques to attack each problem type
• developing the student’s appreciation for the core testing components
• developing the student’s knowledge base through discipline & remediation
• developing the student’s confidence by coaching/cheerleading

SCOREBUILDERS meticulously follows-up with each student continuously and consistently.

SCOREBUILDERS is available also for your subject matter tutoring needs:

• Mathematics - elementary math skills, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, statistics &
  probability
• Sciences - earth science, chemistry, physics, engineering
• Verbal Skills - critical reading, writing skills, grammar, punctuation, vocabulary development,
  word usage
• Business - marketing, finance, economics, human resources, accounting

SCOREBUILDERS accommodates small select groups — preferably where there is prior evidence of students’ compatibility.

….because SCOREBUILDERS approaches each client as an individual and consults, one-on-one, recognizing that for the SATs there is a personal relationship that each student must develop with the test.

….because SCOREBUILDERS approaches the SATs holistically—it’s about the student’s personal relationship with the test, the student’s relative confidence to persevere given apparent uncertainty and the student’s relative maturity to apply adult, problem-solving skills.

….because SCOREBUILDERS approaches the SATs attempting to formulate recurring models of problem types that enable students to recognize each problem type and proceed accordingly.

….because SCOREBUILDERS breaks-down seemingly overwhelming problem types into manageable sequential activities; e.g., SCOREBUILDERS emphasizes that all SAT mathematics problems:

1. begin as reading comprehension; i.e., “can you understand what they’re asking for?”
2. followed by strategy development; i.e., “what physical action will you take to proceed?”
3. followed in turn by focus & execution—“where should you intensify your focus to
   ensure you answer the question correctly?”

….because SCOREBUILDERS will define the knowledge component required for different problem types and either remediate; e.g., algebra, as required, or provide effective programs for knowledge building; e.g., vocabulary development.

….because SCOREBUILDERS uses test makers’ source publications, in contrast to publications with problems that mimic the test makers’ format and structure yet are missing the core logic of the “real” tests' problems.

….because SCOREBUILDERS will use the student’s time effectively, reviewing or doing the actual tests published by the test makers, not lecturing about related subjects or taking attendance/breaks; sessions are scheduled for your convenience, subject to availability.

….because SCOREBUILDERS will derive and discuss interactively and clearly one or more solutions for each problem, while brand name courses are led by “presenters” who rely on published corporate solutions without consideration of alternative approaches or the needs of the specific student audience.

….because SCOREBUILDERS will, upon request, refer you to your neighbors, friends and peers who will attest to their satisfaction with their SCOREBUILDERS experience. (Please see our Testimonials.)

….because SCOREBUILDERS is not a broker who will assign the B-Team. SCOREBUILDERS will guarantee that the A-Team, with more than twenty-five years experience, will be guiding each student through the sometimes mystifying, always intense, yet in the end, rewarding journey toward mastering the SATs, ACTs!

….because SCOREBUILDERS builds character and maturity as the by-product of Bob’s methods. The process is defined by values, not by tricks or uninformed guessing. The student will develop study habits, and confidence when faced with uncertainty. The student will overcome his/her initial doubts and fears and will enjoy a sense of accomplishment.
