Please explore the menu on the left-hand side for more information about Mr. Krueger's services and other information, including testimonials. You may click on a listing of his clients' elementary and secondary schools here, as well as a list of his clients' college acceptance schools here. Please note that starting with the high school graduating class of 2013, students will not only have to exceed on the AIMS test (in all three areas), but also have qualifiable SAT and/or ACT scores to receive the prestigious AIMS scholarship. For the current requirement, high school students only need to excel in the three AIMS test area. This means that it is imperative for current sophomores and juniors who plan on attending college in-state to prep for the SAT and ACT.
Ken has assisted thousands of American and international students, along with their parents, with the challenging processes of high school and college admissions, standardized test prep for the HSPT, PSAT, SAT, ACT, SAT Subject Tests, AIMS, GRE, and high school and college math tutoring. Credentials, services and fees, online resources for college planning, summer school information, and much more free information can be found on the website above, including more about his highly touted new book: “Ken Krueger’s College Planning Guide: Where Do I Start? How Do I Get There?” Ken’s test prep and consulting services have enabled students to attend colleges worldwide. His friendly, comfortable, tutoring environment, styled after the Harkness Table model of East Coast boarding schools, enables students to relate personally and conversationally, gain confidence, reduce test anxiety, learn test-taking and timing strategies, develop group interaction skills, and to practice, practice, practice from real PSAT, SAT, and ACT resources. Development of positive thinking skills, review of the necessary math, reading, and essay writing skills, are major components of his course. Ken is the sole proprietor, and provides his personal touch and wealth of experience, unlike other standardized prep courses which are taught by “trained tutors.” Ken's program brings about triple-digit score increases on a regular basis. (See testimonials.) Classes meet once weekly for 1.5 hours for an average of 8-12 weeks. Monthly rates equate to $28/hr. Financial need students qualify for discounts. Summer school program classes will soon be starting. See summer school page for more information. NEW for Fall 2011: I will be offering prep classes twice per week for some students on selected days. I find that certain students benefit by meeting more frequently. One of Cindy and John McCain’s kids improved 400 points from one SAT to another by meeting with me twice weekly.
