WHY KLEOS?

KLEOS is a Greek word meaning "glory" and "renown"¹. In The Iliad and The Odyssey, kleos "often referred to having one's achievements venerated in poetry"².

KLEOS TUTORING strives to empower students to realize their full potential so that they are proud to speak of their academic achievements. Many students are not confident in their education, or their ability to handle what the world throws at them, we work to create both the knowledge to achieve and the self-confidence deserved in regards to academic successes.

Kleos Tutoring (formerly Ivy League Student Aid & Testing Services) was founded in 2007 as a standardized test tutoring company that slowly expanded into tutoring all school subjects and providing guidance in the NYC school application process. Our mission has been, and always will be, to help guide students to realize their own strengths and to become the best student he, she, or they can become.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does "online tutoring" work?

Using either Google Meet or Zoom, paired with a digital whiteboard (Miro), student and tutor meet for typically 1:00 to 1:15 sessions. The shared board is saved and the student has full access to review any work/notes shared during the session. Homework is assigned between sessions to make use of the tutoring time most efficiently.

What is your rate?

Our 2024-2025 School Year rates are $200/hr for general homework tutoring & $250/hr for standardized test tutoring.

How long are sessions?

There is a one-hour minimum per session and we often allow the student and tutor to start with a one-hour session and feel out what the best timing is to keep the student focused and also cover the needed material on a given day.

What's the difference between the SAT and ACT?

As of recent … not much. The SAT recently changed its format to match the ACT. The SAT and ACT have different sections as part of their test so we always recommend that a student do a full practice test of each and see which one “feels easier”. Sometimes it is a rhythm thing and sometimes it is just a comfort level with the slight differences in how questions are worded between the two tests.
