CATES uses Free Mock Tests and Free Private Consultations to build an individualized profile of each student. We analyze the student’s needs, goals, personality, and learning style to uncover his or her strengths and weaknesses.  CATES then selects among its roster of expert tutors to build the most successful relationship.
At CATES, we recognize the value of continuity in the test-taking process. With over 120 years of combined professional experience, CATES believes establishing a successful, lasting relationship with a qualified tutor is essential. Once matched, the tutor will manage the student throughout the entire test-taking process. Our tutors are rigorously trained in all facets of standardized testing, and the “One Tutor” approach guarantees each student will advance uninterrupted while focusing on established goals.
With an expert knowledge of modern test-taking methods, CATES serves as an aggregator for the best materials on the market. In assessing students’ needs, we develop customized study plans that incorporate only the best tools designed to fit each individual student. CATES knows that not every resource is suitable for all students, and we train our tutors to identify the right materials and manage students throughout every step of the test-prep process.
