One-On-One Tutoring

MEK’s Tutoring programs take a strategic and comprehensive approach to one-on-one settings with students and teachers. Our tutoring programs consist of the following features:

One-on-one guidance from expert teachers
Individualized tutoring agenda based on students’ academic needs
Periodic assessment of student progress through assignments and practice tests
On-site testing and on-site tutoring sessions available at MEK Closter Campus

Students start their tutoring program with MEK with an evaluation and consultation to assess student needs and create a study agenda, which is designed for each individual student by the counselor and teacher. Throughout the sessions, students are periodically evaluated to assess their progress and adjust tutoring objectives accordingly. All tutoring agendas are aligned with the proven MEK Exam Prep and Academic Enrichment curricula.

With our Private Test Prep, School Support, and Academic Enrichment Tutoring programs, the MEK Tutoring Programs target all students’ academic needs to ensure student success in all areas.

All of our tutoring programs are available virtually, using Zoom and Google Classroom platforms.

Private Test Prep

MEK offers one-one-one tutoring for both college, high school, and middle school admission tests such as:

SAT
ACT
SAT Subject tests
AP exams
SSAT – upper, middle, and lower level
ISEE – upper, middle, and lower level
HSPT

Students always begin with an initial evaluation test. Using the results of the evaluation test, our expert academic counselors and dedicated teachers design a test prep plan customized to each student’s individualized needs.

During tutoring, students will take full-length practice tests, receive access to thousands of sample problems, complete homework and quizzes – all while learning test-taking techniques guaranteed to boost their score.

Private Test Prep is for students who cannot be accommodated by group classes because of scheduling, course difficulty, or student learning preferences.

Schedule: Recommend 10-20 sessions

School Support Tutoring

Our School Support Tutoring is a one-one-one program that helps students thrive in the classroom. Unlike our test prep or academic enrichment courses, School Support Tutoring is designed to help the student excel in their specific class with their school teacher’s curriculum.

This program is for students who may be struggling in a class or not earning as high a grade as they desire. Tutors help students achieve strong foundational skills in Science, Math, Social Studies, and English.

Students meet with their MEK tutor once or twice a week. During these sessions, it is the student’s responsibility to communicate the school agenda and their challenges with the concept at hand. Throughout the tutoring sessions, students review topics and complete reinforcement exercises that help them to retain key skills.

Schedule: Recommend 10-15 sessions

Season: All Year

By appointment only

Academic Enrichment Tutoring

Unlike School Support Tutoring, the goal of the Academic Enrichment Tutoring is to give students the tools to get ahead of their school classroom. It is designed to help students meet academic milestones and prepare for future academic success.

It is essential that students who register for Academic Enrichment Tutoring are fully aware of their goals so our expert counselors and teachers can design a curriculum that meets their needs. Individual tutoring agendas are designed to be aligned with the MEK Learning Circles and High School Honors curricula; however, specific milestones are custom-fit to each student.

Expert Instructions

We design tutoring plans based on each individual student’s academic needs and pace. The study plan is adjusted as necessary as students progress through the curriculum.

Expert Instructions

We don’t give out the answers — our teachers coach students on how to think. Each student learns strategies and skills for arriving at the right answers independently.

Detailed Error Analysis Reports

We offer detailed score reports that analyze student performance data after each practice test and assignment, a powerful tool that pinpoints areas of weaknesses and improvement.

Constant Guidance & Communication

We teach students to take ownership of their progress through persistent communications and feedback on improvements, weaknesses, and mindset.

Independent Study Hall

Students enter the Independent Study Hall either before or after their tutoring sessions to complete assignments and quizzes in a virtually proctored environment.

Mindset Building

We teach students study habits that eliminate silly mistakes, increase mental endurance, recognize test traps, and transform them into critical thinkers.
