What We Do For Test Prep

Our tutors will help students prepare for Standardized Tests, including SAT and ACT Tests, using the following techniques:

  • Teaching strategies to break down difficult concepts into manageable parts
  • Tailoring strategies to each student’s strengths and weaknesses
  • Providing deliberate practice that focuses on improving areas of weakness and refining areas of strength
  • Creating a practice schedule that will help students complete the steps necessary for success
  • Teaching students to be metacognitive and make their learning visible

Disciplined Minds Tutoring is great. I’m so glad that I chose them for my SAT prep. Every tutor at Disciplined Minds is amazing and does whatever it takes to make sure you increase your score. Each tutor learns your strengths and weaknesses while working with you and will develop a plan to help you be as successful as possible on the SAT. I got an 1100 on my PSAT before I went to Disciplined Minds. I increased to a 1380 on the SAT. This was a huge achievement for me and I could not have done it without Disciplined Minds.

Disciplined Minds deserves 10 stars at least! We have sent both our sons there for SAT tutoring and it has been worth every penny we’ve spent. One increased his score 110 points and the other increased by 220! The tutors are amazing and really support and encourage the kids. As long as your child is willing to put in the work on his/her own time to complete the assignments, the tutors will do the rest. We have worked with Savannah, Scott, and Greg and they are all top notch! Thank you Disciplined Minds!

JoAnn is a wonderful tutor! She’s knowledgeable and is always prepared with great resources. I really appreciate that she even provided materials for my daughter to work on at home. JoAnn’s communication skills are fantastic too. My daughter said she speaks clearly and makes everything easy to understand. My daughter learned so much from her.

Both my daughters went to disciplined minds for SAT tutoring. They both saw Greg and had a wonderful experience. They both enjoyed working with him. He made them feel smart and boosted their confidence with math. He spent time understanding their strengths and explained his goals for them so they understood where they were heading. I recommend him highly for the math portion. Both of my girls did great with his knowledge and support behind them. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Greg is the best!!

Used disciplines minds for SAT and ACT tutoring! My son did math and English tutoring and both were great. After a few weeks, he just focused on English/Reading because his math score was pretty good. For the ACT, his English score went up 6 points-he used Savannah Law and she was great!

While disciplined minds has helped me during high school with ACT tutoring, they have also helped me tremendously throughout my college career. Most recently Trent helped me with my summer 6 week calculus course at UT. With his help I was able to earn an A on our final exam. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to do it without him.
