Frequently Asked Questions

What is your hourly rate?

All one-on-one admissions exam tutoring begins at $150 per hour. If a student's preferred meeting location is more than 20 miles from the intersection of Interstate 635 and Dallas North Tollway, we charge a $25 distance fee per session to reimburse our instructors for time and travel expense.

Where do students meet with their instructors?

Assuming a distraction-free study environment, a student's home is the default location for all 1-on-1 tutoring. Please let our office know if your student would prefer to meet in an alternate location (e.g., public library) or meet virtually.

Which materials do your instructors use?

Unlike other test prep companies, we reject a "one-size-fits-all" curriculum. As a result, our instructors have the flexibility to customize lessons to your student's specific needs. That said, our instructors primarily utilize official materials released by the College Board and ACT Inc. as well as practice questions taken from released exams, which allows students to learn key strategies and concepts in their tested context. 

May I request a specific instructor for my student?

Certainly. However, we cannot guarantee an instructor's immediate availability. Many of our instructors have a large client base of satisfied test prep students, and word of mouth travels quickly. If an instructor is currently at capacity, we would be happy to place your student on a wait list for the next available instruction slot.

Should my student take the ACT® or SAT®?

There are many factors to consider when deciding whether your student should take the ACT or the SAT. Some factors include your student’s strengths and weaknesses in various school subjects, how they performed on the 10th grade PSAT, timing considerations, testing preferences, and whether or not the exam was recently updated. During our intake call, we can guide you in selecting the exam best suited to your student's individual situation.

Do you also offer college counseling services?

No, Pegasus Test Prep does not offer college counseling services. We confidently refer all of our clients to Catherine Marrs at Marrs College Admission Advisors. Catherine Marrs is a Certified Educational Planner with more than 18 years of college advising experience, and her expert insights into the complex application process are an invaluable complement to our test prep services.
