Prep Sessions from Competing Companies
* You will have at least 2 other companies trying to get you to attend their sessions
FACT 1: Prep 101 has been helping students do their very best since 1999. Other companies just came to UWO recently and do NOT have the knowledge of your courses like Prep 101 does
FACT 2: Over the past few years, MANY sessions were cancelled through the other companies operating at UWO because students were NOT interested in signing up. I have NEVER cancelled a session through prep101 because of lack of student interest. I have only added extra sessions to accommodate such high numbers of interested students
FACT 3: I will not claim like other companies that every student increased their mark by 20%. In my opinion, this isn’t a great claim to make. This would mean that every student who came to me had marks below 80% as otherwise, they would not be able to increase their marks by 20%. Students who come to a session with marks below 50% obviously have an easier time to increase their mark by 20 or more percent. How much you increase your mark depends on many factors. In a course like math 1228, some students do poorly on test #1 and then do better on test #2 by getting help. However, MANY students will prefer the material of test #2 and do better regardless of tutoring because they find the material inherently easier. Probability is much easier for many students than Combinatorics. You also have to consider that students who do poorly on test #1 because they did not put the effort in, will likely seek private tutoring as well as work much harder to prepare for the next test.
I have students who come to me to help them go from 80’s to 90’s or 100% and I have students who tell me they never passed math before and end up with 75 to 85%. Anything is possible, but in any case, students must do tons of work on their own after a session. Just attending a session is unlikely to result in a high grade. I give LOTS of old exams to try and my booklets are made up of old exam-like problems, so the more practice, the better!
Every Student is an individual and should be treated as such. Some students will attend one of my sessions and email me they received marks in the 90’s and even 100%. Some students email me that they need help weekly and then they use the prep session as a review to make sure they still remember ALL material being tested. Many students seek out spots in my ACE classes, even before the term has began to ensure they understand the material as it is taught each week.
FACT 4: I have taught 41363 students over 407 prep sessions through Prep101!
