Frequently Asked Questions

Tuition: Subject-specific support helps students with particular content related support. If you need help learning, relearning, reinforcing or pre-learning specific content, our teaching team can help you hone the skills you need to excel in distinct subject areas. The tutoring support offered by Champion can help support learners struggling to grasp key concepts, get caught up, or to get ahead and push their understanding beyond what is being taught as part of the base curriculum in the classroom.

Academic-Life Coaching: Alternatively, if you aren’t necessarily looking for support with individual subjects, but instead need help organizing your thinking, writing, researching, understanding why you’re having a hard time learning concepts taught in class, are struggling with executing functioning skills, or don’t know how to study, academic coaching is for you and Dr. Rogers can help support your journey. The focus of academic coaching is on students’ general academic and life success, which means we will first investigate elements that make learning challenging, teach new learning strategies, and help to refine crucial skills like time management and organization so that you can learn more confidently and independently in any subject. The goal of academic coaching is to have you become self-sufficient. Once we make progress on some baseline management skills and implement certain learning strategies, you will start to enjoy the learning process more and become an independent, confident thinker ready to take on any subject matter.

Step One: Schedule a session with Dr. Rogers where she will discuss your / your child’s situation, what you are looking to achieve, and how we can help you work towards successfully meeting your goals.

Step Two: We jump right in and start the highly personalized process of designing a coaching / tutoring schedule that is appropriate for you.

If academic-life coaching is our focus, we will uncover the essentials about your strengths and challenges as a student. Dr. Rogers will teach you new skills & habits which will be practiced and refined over time. We will record and measure everything we do on a unique coaching tool called your “Habits Graph”, and we will put together your personal PULSE™ portfolio to help track your progress.

If life coaching or young adult transition is our focus, Dr. Rogers will spend time uncovering and analyzing your unique strengths and interest profile, identifying your purpose and aligning goals, and developing your personal PULSE™ portfolio. These tools will help tremendously when we start looking at possible career paths and job opportunities. The transition from school to the working world can be one of the more exciting and tumultuous transitions in your life. Understanding your strengths and purposely aligning your goals ensures you start your professional career off in the right direction.

If tutoring is our focus, Dr. Rogers will arrange an introductory session with one of Champion’s subject tutors, and together you will develop a plan to work towards achieving identified goals in one or more subject areas.

This differs from student to student. Some learners only require a booster set of 6-8 sessions centered around a specific goal, while other learners will be recommended for weekly support (especially if there are neurodiverse learning considerations). More than frequency, we know that consistency is the key to learning, flexing and habituating new habits and optimizing the learning process. This looks different for every learning and will be assessed early in the process.

There is no single ideal time. Students may take the SAT in Grades 9–11 depending on readiness and college plans. For Grade 12 students targeting early decision or other early applications, timing becomes especially important. Preparation can typically take 3–4 months, and sometimes longer depending on the student's starting point, goals, and availability, so it is important to plan ahead.

The SAT and ACT have different formats and testing approaches, even though they assess many of the same core skills. Start by checking the testing policies of your target universities, then compare the exams against your student's strengths, preferences, and testing style. If you need help deciding, a Champion SAT coach can guide you during a consultation.

Yes. Students take a diagnostic SAT assessment to establish a baseline and identify their current strengths and areas for improvement. This gives us a clear starting point for personalization. The diagnostic is designed to assess SAT readiness and preparation needs; it is not currently an SAT-vs-ACT diagnostic.

A consultation is recommended but not mandatory. A Champion SAT coach can understand the student's goals, timeline, current preparation, availability, and learning needs and then recommend the most appropriate pathway. If you already know which program will fit you best, you can proceed directly.

Champion offers three pathways: Comprehensive for structured, end-to-end preparation; Crash Course for students who have already done some level of preparation or have limited time; and Masterclass for targeted support with specific topics, strategy, pacing, difficult questions, or mock-test review. The right choice depends on the student's goals, timeline, current preparation, and availability. Custom plans can also be built around individual needs.

All Champion SAT preparation is one-on-one and personalized. Pace, content, questions, independent practice, testing, and progression are adapted to each student's needs. Preparation can also be coordinated around schoolwork, exams, activities, and other commitments, so two students preparing for the same SAT test date can follow very different learning journeys.

AI and the adaptive portal help make practice more targeted. Based on the student's current performance and the skills they still need to develop, technology supports the generation and selection of practice that addresses specific gaps. Expert tutors remain at the center, using data and technology to inform instruction and intervention.

After a quiz, practice test, or mock, students receive detailed performance analysis; teachers can see the same data, and parents can view progress as well. We look beyond the score to identify patterns in accuracy, timing, question types, content gaps, careless errors, and calculator use. These insights then guide the next stage of teaching and practice.

Champion is working on adding accommodation functionality to the online preparation portal. Once available, students will be able to take relevant quizzes and practice tests with their approved accommodations to better simulate real-world test conditions. Note that for the official SAT, all accommodations must be pre-approved by the College Board.

We set up an initial consultation call and a diagnostic test link to begin understanding the student's needs and help you identify the appropriate pathway. If you decide to proceed, payment is collected. We then use the diagnostic results to build the student's personalized learning journey and begin preparation.

An educational psychological assessments is a group of assessments given to students to better understand their learning profile. It gives valuable information on how people learn, and their strengths and weaknesses. A psych-ed evaluation has four different areas that provide context: norm referenced or standardized assessments, interviews, behavioral observations and informal assessment procedures.

Additional assessments, should they be deemed necessary, are available. They include assessments measuring neuropsychological deficits fitting within the school neuropsychological conceptual model of assessment.

An evaluation can help parents and educators target learning weaknesses and build on strengths. It is a multimethod assessment, which means information is gathered from several relevant sources and interpreted to understand the person’s cognitive, academic and social strengths and weaknesses. It will help caretakers and educators understand the nature, presence and degree of any learning or social/emotional needs of a child.

Champion’s psychologist will meet with your child for four to five hours. An optimal testing session is done in one setting, but may be separated into two separate sessions if personal circumstances require it. To minimize distractions, parents are not allowed in the room while the assessments are being conducted, but are welcome to wait close by.

A highly trained and qualified psychologist will facilitate the assessments. Champion’s psychologist is a Nationally Certified School Psychologist (USA) with many years of experience working in schools, conducting assessments and interpreting results.

Cognitive processing, reading, reading comprehension, written expression, math skills, listening skills and spelling are covered in all evaluations. In some cases, if determined necessary, assessments to test attention, focus, emotional development, social development and memory are also included in the evaluation.

Let your child know they are going to be having some assessments done in order to help you and them understand themselves better. Our Champion psychologist can answer any questions or concerns your child may have during the session. This is handled in a positive manner with careful attention given to articulating how the experience will help the child be most successful.
