CIRCLE TEST PREP

Like it or not, the SAT*or ACT® test will be the single most important exam of your child’s high school career. Your son or daughter should not take it, even for the first time, without preparing properly.

ABOUT CIRCLE TEST PREP

My name is Lori Tofexis. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, and I am the sole instructor for both SAT and ACT prep. Since 2010, I have prepared over 700 students for their college entrance exams.

Qualifications Matter: I hold a Professional Teaching Certificate from the State of Florida in Mathematics through Grade 12. I have also been a professional writer.

Experience and Professionalism Matter: Your child will be taught only by me, never by a college student. The SAT and The ACT are the only tests I teach.

Results Matter: SAT maximum increase 340 points. ACT maximum increase 8 points. Ask me for proof.

PRIVATE TUTORING

One-on-One Tutoring: It is the only way to get strong score improvements quickly.
My typical student is with me for just 5 months.

Mock Exams: It is essential for every student to take a realistic practice exam prior to the real test.
I hold free mock tests at my office location.

In Person or Online: In person at my office or via Zoom. Your choice.

Hourly rate: $140 per hour. Most students require 8 – 16 hours.

ONLINE PRIVATE TUTORING

It is easier than ever to tutor students remotely.

The interactive whiteboard captures the collaborative nature of a personal tutoring session.

I have successfully tutored students from across the US and worldwide in this manner.

SUMMER ACT AND SAT PREP

Without a doubt, summer is great time to prep for the SAT and ACT exams. Now both tests are being given over the summer.

Which exam is better: SAT or ACT?

The answer to that often depends on the student. For some students it truly makes little difference. The scores will be similar regardless of which exam they take. For other students the results can be dramatically different.

TESTIMONIALS

I highly recommend Circle Test Prep. We tried 2 other tutors and thankfully we switched to Lori. It was immediately obvious that she knows what she is doing. The mock test set up is great for students as it provides the right environment to take the practice tests without the added pressure of an official score.

Lori was a HUGE help. She made all of the concepts seem so simple and got my ACT score up 8 points - even when I didn't think that it was going to move. I would recommend using her no matter what your goals are!

Lori Tofexis was highly recommended to me, and Lori has lived up to that strong recommendation, with both of my sons.

My previous tutor just reviewed tests with me, but Lori had a series of lessons that carefully taught me what I needed to know. I never thought I could get such a high score, but she taught me so much.

My son was skeptical, but after a few lessons he understood the questions on the SAT so much better. Lori motivated him to work even harder and his practice test scores continued to climb - finally achieving an SAT score that I never thought was possible.

My son is a great student but his PSAT score was low. We are thrilled with the amazing results. Now, he qualifies for the Bright Futures scholarship.
