Local Tutoring Company Responds to Drop in SAT Scores by Offering Massive Financial Aid

(Portsmouth, NH) A high SAT score often paves the way for admission into the country's best colleges and universities. But that way is harder to navigate for many low and middle-income parents who cannot afford SAT prep programs that often cost over $1000.

Top-Tier Academic Consulting, a locally-owned and operated tutoring company established in 2003, has responded to this crisis by offering a tuition-reduction plan so that no high school student will be denied the opportunity to prepare for the exam in an optimal fashion.

"It's clear from the latest College Board results that middle and lower income families are struggling not only paying for college but preparing for it. We would like to help reverse this trend by enabling every student, regardless of their family's financial resources, to use our services," said Dr. David Corbin, founder and owner of the company.

Many colleges and universities currently operate using a need-based formula that takes into account family income and assets. Moving forward, Top-Tier will do the same by reducing costs up to 67% for families in need for all of its services (subject-area tutoring, college test preparation, and college admissions counseling) by making use of a three-tiered financial aid system.
