Pre-Assessment: See also Admissions.

Prospective candidates complete a two session pre-assessment sanctioned over a three day period. Typically, students work through a series of reading and explication exercises drawn from both current secondary school studies and college level courses. These sessions offer prospective applicants an opportunity to sample the quality and rigor of the tutorial while providing the instructor chief indicators of drive, motivation, academic skills function, scholastic affinities, and most importantly, sustained focus for labor intensive text and lecture analysis.

Candidates "surviving" the initial assessment and interview are invited to complete the three day evaluation period by reworking class and text notes and completing auxillary homework assignments and supporting exercises. Reconvening on the third day after the initial assessment, the applicant, her parent(s), and the mentor review all completed work and collectively reach a decision on admission. Generally, satisfactory presentation of reworked class and text notes accompanied by substantial accomplishement of augmented homework and supporting exercises is rewarded with an offer of a contractual agreement and admission to The Aristotle Tutorial.

Accepted applicants electing to commence the tutorial proceed with a tactical orientation to confirm study schedules, to affirm academic objectives, and to initiate preliminary scholastic strategies assisting study skills development, heightened intellectual aptitude, and future professional enterprise.

The mentorship then convenes two to three times weekly as agreed upon by all parties. Average tutorials meet for two to three hours (depending on the quality and kind of academic skills objectives, specific coursework agendas, and individually tailored protocols for the cultivation of sustained focus).

From the outset, the student demonstrates advancing academic skills, improving scholastic performance (in the classroom and on the homefront), and heightened facility for sustained focus while completing demanding text and lecture analysis as continual indicators of successful program implementation.

Fee Structure:

$100.00 per hour to be held in escrow by the client and payable only after the student first achieves all test grades of "B" or better.
