The Signet Method

Discover

Your tutor will begin by getting to know your goals, strengths, and weaknesses. They will help you identify what you're struggling with - study skills, content, anxiety, or something else.

Plan

Unlike big test prep “factories” that use the same approach for every student, we tailor a study plan just for you and your learning style. You’ll work with the best study materials for your needs, including Signet’s proprietary tools and other materials.

Work

Your tutor will track your progress, give you feedback, and adapt your study plan to move you up the score ladder step-by-step. Realistic practice experiences will make you 100% ready. Your tutor will stick with you until you’ve met your goals.

My son had aspirations of attending a top tier university, but his preliminary SAT assessment indicated he had to improve his test-taking skills if he were to reach this goal. Signet customized a lesson plan for him. His tutor correctly assessed his areas for improvement and worked with him one-on-one to strengthen those skills he needed to do well on the SAT. All of my son's hard work paid off in the end: He improved his combined SAT scores by 250 points which helped him gain acceptance into a top 5 nationally ranked university.”
