Unlike group classes at testing centers, Tutor Doctor provides personalized one-to-one tutoring that adapts to your student’s specific strengths, challenges, and learning style. We start with a free practice test to understand exactly where your child stands, then create a custom prep plan focused on their individual goalswhether that’s improving specific sections, building test-taking confidence, or maximizing scholarship opportunities. Our tutors come to your home in Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers, or surrounding areas, making it convenient for busy families.

Most students benefit from starting test prep 3-4 months before their target test date, though this varies based on baseline scores and goals. We recommend beginning with our free practice test as early as sophomore year to establish a baseline and identify which test (SAT or ACT) better suits your student’s strengths. This gives plenty of time to build skills gradually without cramming, and allows flexibility to retake the test if needed for college applications or merit scholarships.

Your student takes a full-length SAT or ACT practice test in a realistic testing environmentwe can administer this at your home anywhere in the Indianapolis area. Within days, you’ll receive a detailed score report that breaks down performance by section and question type. More importantly, we’ll schedule a consultation to review the results together, discuss your student’s college goals, and design a personalized tutoring plan that targets the specific areas where improvement will have the biggest impact on their score.

The SAT is now fully digital and adaptive, while the ACT is introducing new digital options alongside traditional paper testingit can be confusing! That’s why we start with diagnostic testing to see which format plays to your student’s strengths. Some students excel with the SAT’s adaptive format and shorter reading passages, while others prefer the ACT’s straightforward approach and optional science section. Our experienced tutors help Indianapolis-area families navigate these choices and can even prepare students for both tests if needed.

While every student’s journey is unique, our personalized approach has helped thousands of students across the country achieve meaningful score increases that open doors to their target colleges and unlock merit scholarships. Success depends on factors like starting point, effort level, and time invested, but our one-to-one model ensures your student gets the focused attention and customized strategies they need. Many of our Indianapolis families report not just higher scores, but also reduced test anxiety and increased confidence—benefits that extend beyond test day.
