In-house SAT and ACT preparation
Looking to offer SAT and ACT preparation at your school? Our team of educational specialists can develop a customised course tailored to your school's needs. We understand the UK school system and can effectively translate SAT and ACT material for your students.
Both exams are accepted by US universities, and our tutors, graduates of top American universities, are extensively trained in SAT/ACT preparation. We offer 1-on-1 SAT tutoring, ACT tutoring, and 5-day SAT prep courses and ACT prep courses for group preparation to help students maximise their test scores.
If you're unsure which exam to focus on, we offer invigilated practice tests in-person or online to help your students decide. Let us bring our expertise to your school and help your students succeed in these critical exams.
Aspiring to America one-day course
For the past 20 years, A-List has guided thousands of students to achieve their dream of studying in America. Our one-day course introduces students to all the major areas of the US university application process. Courses cost £1,500 for a class of students in-person or £1,000 for online sessions.
The day can be scheduled flexibly around your school timetable.
US admissions consulting
We provide schools with a valuable, short-term support through our expert consultancy services. Areas may include:
International students must carefully consider how to fund their degree due to the price tag of many American universities.
We prioritise helping students apply to US universities, supporting their aspirations and reassuring families of their success and return on investment.
US universities use a "holistic" admissions review process, evaluating students based on their scholarly and personal traits.
Faculty training
We offer professional development for faculty and staff, including skills development for designated US university coordinators to support teachers in writing recommendation letters, creating clear and effective school transcripts, profiles, and discussing financing options for international students.
We also provide consulting services to schools, keeping teachers informed of new information and details as our team stays up to date with the nuances and ever-changing updates across a wide range of US universities. Our goal is to increase your school's attendance and sponsorship funding acceptance rates.
