for all other subjects, generally pricing is: $35/hr for middle school, $40/hr for high school, $45/hr for high school AP’s, and for AP test or entrance exam crash courses: $50/hr minimum. 

For professional development, essay writing needs, or for college admissions consultation and essay assistance, prices range on need. The lattermost of those three will require similar pre-screening procedure to SAT ACT Training Scheduling, and will also be within that tier of pricing.

*my most recent SAT flight of pupils all received a 1440+ on their exams; and of the two who requested personal help on college admissions, both were accepted to top tier schools, with one attending his dream school—Yale University—and the other “settling” for Claremont McKenna College. The other six students in my flight of SAT kids have chosen to attend:

UCLA, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, Swarthmore, and US Naval Academy at Annapolis.

Past SAT Student Standouts of mine have attended other reputable colleges, such as:

UC Santa Barbara, Cornell, U Miami, Washington U St. Louis, Yonsei U, UC San Diego, UoP, Northwestern, Oregon, UNLV, Rutgers, and UC Berkeley. 

See if they are willing to hear you out, and if you would kick it with them outside of school. Then, if you actually do, see if you still find that you respect them as you grow to like them as people. If you find that you do still have a respect that trumps any newfound appreciation/friendliness developed—you found yourself a true partner for professional growth.
