Schedule and Scheduling
Registration E-mail

Logistics
Technology Platforms
We use several different technology platforms in our programs: Online Score Tracker (OST) for all of our online testing; LearnDash for SAT videos and quizzes; our website Parent/Student Portal; and others. Should your student encounter any issues with any of these platforms, please let their tutor know. They will seek swift resolution to any problems.
Cancellations by You
There are no make-up classes available as there are no other parallel courses offered during these programs.
Publicity
Occasionally, LTP posts images and videos of our classes and students on LTP’s social media accounts. You hereby authorize LTP to capture and post images and videos of your student on LTP’s social media accounts. You may email LTP and ask us to remove any images or videos from LTP’s social media account at any time. Further, your credit card or debit card authorization is also verifiable consent that you are the student’s parent or legal guardian.
Homework Time
Students should expect 1-2 hours of homework per week.
Students Must Do Homework
Please ensure your student completes their homework for class and brings in all of their work. Do not assist your student with their homework – we need to understand where they are struggling.
Come Prepared for Class
Please ensure your student brings their LTP BINDER, pencils, and laptop for each class.
Be on Time
Please ensure that you drop-off and pick-up your student on time. To keep everyone safe, do not stop in the middle of the road. Parents/students are solely responsible for managing travel arrangements.
Students Only
To keep a fun and interactive environment for students, parents may not remain in the building during class or testing.
Cancellations by LTP
In the case of inclement weather (e.g. snow storms) and emergencies, this policy may be waived. LTP may consider, but is not obligated to grant, fee waivers for emergencies and such decision shall be at LTP’s sole determination. We will, however, do our best to conduct our classes/sessions virtually when possible to maintain schedules.
Communication
General Communication
The primary contact for questions is Cali Moorman (cali@loudountestprep.com). If you contact her, please allow her at least 24 hours to respond. Note: We are closed on Fridays.
Student Feedback
As the tutoring progresses, we will send out information about your student’s performance as needed via our website Discussion Thread feature. It is your responsibility as a parent or guardian to read, and if necessary, respond to these communiques.
Check-in with Your Student
By registering for our tutoring programs, you are making a considerable investment in your student’s future. Please check in with your student frequently regarding homework, practice test results, and how they’re feeling about the program. The earlier we are made aware of concerns, the sooner we can address them!
Zoom Meetings Use AI & Transcripts
We use Zoom for most of our meetings.
Please know that we use AI to create a transcript of our Zooms. This helps us with follow-up action items and also serves as a reference for historical purposes.
Miscellaneous
Student Email Address
We will ask your student for their email address and cell phone number (if they have a cell phone) for use in tutor-student communication.
We will only use this information for professional reasons and it will not be shared externally.
Learning Differences and/or Accommodations
Over the years we have gathered knowledge about how you can help your student with learning differences and/or accommodations to be successful. Read them here.
Note: If your student has testing accommodations (IEP, ADA) of extended time through College Board, while we are able to accommodate additional time, we are unable to accommodate the following: braille, large print text, screen reading technology, or scribes (oral dictation) at this time.
About Test Scores
We use a variety of exams during our program. We have created some of them ourselves, and some are from the College Board. They vary meaningfully in difficulty. Please do not be alarmed if your student scores lower on one exam than another. There is a method to our process as we work to strengthen and refine each student’s abilities.

Cheating Policy
One of the most important aspects of our teaching process is the continual feedback loop. This loop is created by giving students homework based on material presented in that class’s instruction.
Our expectation is that the student will complete their homework without the aid of parents, tutors, or other external materials (such as looking up the specific question online to obtain the solution via photo math or any other source).
Why is this important? If the student receives outside help, we cannot accurately assess where the student needs additional help and where they do not. In addition, after years of trial and error, we feel strongly that our teaching methods will produce optimal outcomes in the real test setting.
This may make more sense when considering a coaching metaphor. You hire a coach to teach your child how to hit a baseball. Another person at home teaches your child a different batting technique. Your child then strikes out at the game. The child received conflicting instruction, and was confused when at bat. We do not want this to happen on test day.
You are hiring us to be your student’s test prep coach. Please ensure that you allow us to do our job.
If your student is caught cheating, we reserve the right to remove them from the program without refund.
Billing
For the AP Calculus Parallel classes, you may prepay or pay monthly with recurring payments.
NO refunds for any portion of your class(es) will be issued following receipt of payment.
Loudoun Test Prep reserves the right to expel a student at its sole discretion. Reasons for expulsion include, but are not limited to: bullying, cheating, and violent behavior. In the event of expulsion, Loudoun Test Prep will refund the prorated cost of the remaining classes, except in the case of cheating.
Our tutor knew that my daughter knew the material, but somehow it wasn’t coming through on the practice tests. He worked backward with her to find the missing link. She began to see success on the practice tests before she took the real SAT. She went into the SAT feeling confident and her score went up 200 points!
