Tutoring, Test Prep & College Admissions Counseling in Weston, CT
ConnectPrep is a Fairfield County firm that has tutored Weston families for 17+ years. Our tutors come to your Weston home — or meet online — for 1:1 Digital SAT & ACT prep, full-service college counseling, K–12 academics, AP support, and private school admissions, built around the Weston High School calendar.
Weston families have many tutoring options — most run a national curriculum that ignores what Weston students actually face: AP overlap in May, FCIAC fall sports, and a college bar where competitive applicants need 1500+. ConnectPrep is built around that reality. Every session is 1:1, customized to a diagnostic, and adjusted every two weeks; the same team that builds the test-prep plan also builds the college list and manages applications.

What SAT Score Do Weston Students Actually Need?
Connecticut administers the SAT to every public-school junior on SAT School Day, so most Weston juniors have an official baseline by spring. The competitive question is always the same: what score does your student need for the colleges on their list?
| Score Range | Context | Typical Target Schools |
|---|---|---|
| 1500+ | 99th percentile | Ivy League and peer-tier universities |
| 1400–1490 | Strong | Top-25 universities, strong merit candidates |
| 1300–1390 | Competitive | Top-50 universities |
| 1200–1290 | Solid baseline | Broad match range |
General Connecticut score context; we calibrate each student’s target to their specific college list during the free consultation.
Most families we work with are closing a 100–500 point gap between a baseline score and the competitive threshold for their target schools — exactly the range ConnectPrep programs are built to close. See how our Weston SAT program works →

| Grade 9 | Strong first-year GPA, course selection, early extracurricular direction. | Academic advising, executive-function coaching, a long-range course and activities roadmap. |
| Grade 10 | PSAT/PreACT, AP groundwork, a baseline Digital SAT diagnostic (ideal start: October). | Diagnostic testing, an SAT-vs-ACT decision, and the first structured test-prep block. |
| Grade 11 | Core SAT/ACT testing window, AP exams, college-list building — the most pivotal year. | 1:1 test prep to target score, school-list strategy, and the start of essay brainstorming. |
| Grade 12 | Applications, essays, interviews, final score attempts, financial-aid and decision strategy. | Full-service application management through decision day, plus interview prep. |

In-Home & Online Sessions in Weston
In-home sessions
Tutors travel throughout Weston on weekday afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Sessions run 60–90 minutes.
Live online
The same tutor can move any session online during crew/sailing season, AP weeks, or school breaks. No separate online-only tier.
Diagnostic-driven
Every program starts with a full Bluebook diagnostic, then a weekly 1:1 plan re-paced every two weeks from practice-test data.
Practice testing
Full-length, Bluebook-aligned digital practice SATs throughout each program, with question-by-question review.
Most Weston students test at their high school on Bluebook-supported Chromebooks. We practice every student on the same device they’ll use on test day — so a missed week during FCIAC playoffs or AP season never derails the program.
