How Novella Prep Differs

August 29, 2018 by F. Tony Di Giacomo, Ph.D.
Novella Prep

In a word: holistic. Said differently: thorough. Think about the difference between traditional vs. preventative care in health, and you understand how we are different. We prepare with purpose since our principle focus is overall achievement beyond the test (such as college planning and study skills), and then teach skills that help on test day as well as beyond the test.

When families come through our doors or call us on the phone, they are typically looking for a solution to a particular challenge. Our evaluation process and needs assessment for all students ensures that we explore all facets of what helps students succeed. Add that to our collective decades of test prep and education experience and you have winning solution. We first strive to ensure the student’s overall well-being and potential achievement are optimized. The greatest grade and score gains come from establishing strong study skill fundamentals and then addressing gaps in skill or knowledge to help advance students toward achievement.
