Diagnostic test + custom roadmap

Sets the baseline and focus areas — re-evaluated weekly as data comes in.

Digital PSAT–aligned mocks

Bluebook-style adaptive routing, same UX as the real test, each followed by a tutor review.

Weekly homework drills + analytics

Focused drills between sessions; analytics show where time is best spent next.

SAT runway + direct tutor access

Feeds straight into our SAT track, and same-day answers when a problem doesn't click.

1-on-1 questions.

Who is PSAT 1-on-1 right for?

Students targeting National Merit (Commended / Semifinalist / Finalist), students who want pacing built around their own baseline, and younger students (grades 8–9, PSAT 8/9) who want a personalized head start. The roadmap is set to the individual.

How many hours do I get?

28 hours of live 1-on-1 PSAT instruction — two sessions a week — plus weekly homework drills and Digital PSAT–aligned mock tests with reviewed explanations.

What grades is it for?

Grades 8 through 11 — from PSAT 8/9 through the PSAT/NMSQT. Starting early is a real advantage: a strong PSAT 8/9 score can qualify 8th–9th graders for talent-search programs like Johns Hopkins CTY, on top of the head start it builds for the SAT.

Does PSAT 1-on-1 also help with the SAT?

Substantially. The Digital PSAT shares its adaptive engine and content frame with the Digital SAT, so every hour also builds SAT muscle — and feeds directly into our SAT track.

Can I pick my tutor?

We match based on the diagnostic. If the chemistry isn't right after the first session, we swap — no questions.
