Custom DesignedAt Sam Alfonsi’s College Bound, we use a one-tutor-one student philosophy. It is this highly focused and interactive approach which maximizes the potential for results while helping students refine, develop and advance their fundamental academic skills. Moreover, in a one-on-one environment, College Bound instructors can become keenly aware of each student’s personality traits, work ethic, and learning styles. This not only allows for direct communication and feedback, but for each student to build self-confidence.
