Frequently Asked Questions

1) Why should I choose the GK Academy?

We have studied pretty much every standardized test prep philosophy out there for the ACT and SAT.  We have gathered insights from many methods. When you work with us, you are working with a team that focuses on what YOU need to succeed.  We want to get to know you before we make recommendations!

2) Where can I learn more about which tests you teach and when these tests are offered?

The range of test dates depends on the test. The ACT and SAT are offered seasonally, and graduate school exams are offered year-round. 

ACT – September through June

SAT – May through June, including Subject Tests

 

3) Do you offer group test prep and why is personalized test prep better?

For the vast majority of students, one-on-one coaching delivers better results – higher scores – than group test prep. Coaches can devote undivided attention to their students, allowing them to tailor curriculum to the unique strengths and weaknesses of each student. This personalized approach is critical to the success of our method. A close relationship between coach and student also demands personal accountability from both sides. Group classes simply can’t match the strengths of a one-on-one tutoring model.

 

4) Where do you meet with students?

Online or via Text, Phone or E-mail.

5) Which tests and subjects do you help with and what other services do you provide?

At present, the most demand for our services comes from students preparing to take the ACT and SAT although we have plenty of expertise in many academic areas.

6) Do you work with students who have special testing considerations and/or learning differences and how do I know if I qualify for accommodations?

Our commitment is to adapt to the unique needs of our students.  We have extensive experience working with students who have unique learning styles.

Qualifications for testing accommodations are approved through an application process directly with the test makers. Typically, students with diagnosed learning differences and who receive accommodations in high school get ACT or SAT accommodations most easily.  On some occasions, we have actually written letters to decision makers in order to facilitate the approval process.  We also have close relationships with licensed professionals who can test for accommodations.

The GK Academy Mentors Students.

 

The GK Academy mentors, coaches and tutors ACT and SAT students.  The company was started in Minnesota.  We have coached hundreds of students for standardized tests such as the ACT or SAT  in Woodbury MN.   We also have a long history of working with students in Shoreview MN.   Nationally, we work with students online.  We believe that test prep industry standards need to be improved.  Students improve the most on the SAT or ACT when  tutoring programs are customized.  Long-term study skills are also very important because some students who ace the ACT or SAT do not perform well in college.  Inflated ACT or SAT scores can result in students gaining acceptance to colleges or universities that they are not prepared for.  Students need test-taking strategies that last for a lifetime.  This is one of the reasons that we consider ourselves ACT and SAT college mentors as opposed to traditional tutors.
