Everything you need to know about Dalton Prep
Dalton Prep combines data-driven diagnostics with personalized strategy and elite mentorship. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all prep. Our approach starts with understanding your unique strengths and gaps, then creates a customized roadmap tailored to your specific target score and learning style. With top 1% educators and a 1:4 student-to-tutor ratio, you get genuine mentorship alongside rigorous SAT mastery training.
Our students average a 340-point improvement, though gains vary by starting score and program length. Students entering with scores below 1200 often see 350+ point improvements, while those already above 1400 might see 100-150 point gains. Real results depend on your baseline, effort, and time commitment. We provide honest projections during your strategy session based on your specific situation.
Most students work with Dalton Prep for 3-6 months, meeting 2-3 times weekly. This timeline allows adequate time for diagnostic assessment, strategy development, intense tutoring phases, and optimization. Accelerated and extended programs are available based on your target score and current performance. Your strategy session will determine the best timeline for your specific goals.
We guarantee effort, excellence in instruction, and strategic methodology—but not specific scores, as the SAT has inherent variability. What we do guarantee is that our approach, combined with your commitment, will maximize your test performance. Our track record speaks: 94% of our students gain admission to Ivy League and Top 20 universities. That's the real outcome we guarantee.
Yes. Dalton Prep offers both in-person and virtual tutoring depending on your location and preference. Our virtual platform includes real-time screen sharing, interactive whiteboards, and recorded sessions for later review. Students in our virtual program achieve the same transformative results as in-person students—location is never a barrier to elite SAT prep.
Our programs are customized to your needs and goals, so pricing varies. Entry-level programs start around $2,500 for 12 weeks; premium packages with intensive tutoring and college admissions coaching range $4,500-$8,000+. We offer payment plans and financial considerations for qualified students. Discuss pricing details during your free strategy session.
Dalton Prep specializes in elite performance. If you're already at 1400+, we focus on the precision and strategy needed to breach 1500+. This means deep-dive analysis of your error patterns, advanced time-management techniques, and test psychology. Our top tutors excel at helping high-performing students close those final 100 points to reach 1500 or higher.
Ideally, start SAT prep 6-9 months before your test date. This gives time for diagnostic work, strategy development, intensive tutoring, and multiple practice tests. However, Dalton Prep has accelerated programs for students starting closer to their test date. Discuss your timeline during the strategy session—we'll create a plan that works for your situation.
