3 Best SAT Prep Tutors in Santa Barbara

Parents often find themselves in a bind when looking for SAT Prep in Santa Barbara. Up until that point (normally junior or senior year for their student), they have relied on their school to provide their student with the appropriate education. The problem is, colleges and universities look toward "standardized testing" like the SAT exam or ACT exam in order to make their admissions decisions.

After a lot of research of credentials, pricing, and reviews of SAT prep companies in Santa Barbara, I have come to compile a list of the top 5 SAT prep companies in Santa Barbara in order from best to worst.

1. Tried & True Tutoring (www.triedandtruetutoring.com)

Tried & True Tutoring is founded by credentialed teachers and experts of providing SAT prep in Santa Barbara. The costs are low, they have great reviews and results, and they are local and reliable. You can follow their blog here.

2. The Princeton Review (www.princetonreview.com)

These cats have been in the SAT prep game for a long time. They have the "know-how" but the problem with them is that their methodologies our outdated, and their prices are high. However, they will help your student score higher.

3. TutorDoctor (www.tutordoctor.com)

These tutors have to pass an assessment in order to tutor, but they are never trained on best 1-on-1 teaching practices which I think is a big downfall. Pricing isn't bad, but you get what you pay for here.

Winner: Tried & True Tutoring 

Reasons: Low Price, Customized Assessments & Curriculum, Credentialed Teachers train each individual tutor, best customer service, and they offer a money back guarantee.
