We offer one-on-one preparation courses for the GRE (Graduate Record Examination); LSAT (Legal Scholastic Aptitude Test); GMAT (Graduate Management Admissions Test); and MCAT (Medical College Admissions Test).
Educational Services is a licensed private tutorial service offering professional individual preparation course for the GRE. For forty-one years ES has documented impressive results working only one-on-one and tailoring our instruction to the individual needs of each of 2,700 students each year. We received the "Best of Philly Award" from Philadelphia Magazine in 1985, the only time the category was ever reviewed.
Because GRE, GMAT, and LSAT scores are averaged by most graduate schools, a high first-time score is desirable. Our full-time staff instructors ensure such results. Most are Ivy-League graduates with a minimum of twelve years experience providing GRE, GMAT, and LSAT preparation for us. Our materials are legitimately-released real past GRE, GMAT, and LSAT Examinations.
Our 9-hour ono-on-one course is scheduled one appointment at a time (365 days, 9AM to midnight) at the convenience of the student. In the first 1½ hour appointment we teach traps, tricks, shortcuts, strategy and quizmanship by doing a real past Graduate Test in slow motion for the student, who then applies this knowledge to at least one full-length real past Graduate Test for homework between each meeting. In five separate 1½ hour appointments the instructor starts by explaining every error made on the hoework, leaves correct written solutions for every item missed and re-teaches and concetrates on areas of weakness. For subsequent appointments, we may assign extra sections from older tests in particular areas posing difficulty.
Our course specifically lacks: 1) the inconvenience of pre-set inflexible classroom times; 2) simulated materials (frequently designed to get easier as you go along in other courses); 3) the inexperienced graduate-student teaching staff of some competition; 4) taped, computerized, or live lectures designed to help "everyone" regardless of individual differences. In contrast, our strategy differs for students starting at different levels of Graduate test-taking ability, and is specifically formulated for a student as we go along to ensure each student achieves a satisfactory score increase.
Course tuition is $1990.00, plus $200 for materials. Additional hours are available at $180.00/hour (including materials). Please feel free to telephone us for further information, or to make a first appointment.
MCAT Preparation is separately provided by the hour by our physicians and medical specialists.
