Chyten Educational Services to Work with Natick High School Students on College Test Prep, Tutoring

From Natick Public Schools:

Natick Public Schools and Chyten Educational Services announced Wednesday, Sept. 21 that they are launching an innovative partnership to better the SAT and ACT scores of Natick’s public high school students. The partnership will include extensive tutoring and test preparation benefits for all Natick High School students at exclusive program discounts, a year of complimentary personalized webinar access for parents and the opportunity to win a free, online, comprehensive ACT or SAT preparation course.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for Natick students and parents, one which we are proud to be leading,” said Neil Chyten, president and founder of Chyten Educational Services. “We’re committed to helping college-bound Natick High School pupils achieve their goals -- not just on a test, but for the next stage of their lives.”

To help launch the engagement with Natick students, Chyten Educational Services will offer an ACT vs. SAT Comparison Test free of charge. The ACT vs. SAT Comparison test will be held on Nov. 9 at Natick High School and will assist students in determining which of the two most commonly utilized standardized tests best fits their academic profile.

The free test offering comes at a time of student uncertainty among standardized test options. Even as the ACT test has joined the SAT in being a universally accepted test in college admissions, the competitive admissions process leaves students questioning which test will lead them to a prosperous college future. Chyten’s comparison test allows students to have both their academic and test-taking abilities matched to the most appropriate test. The result is a diagnosis that helps each student decide which test will best position them with college admission offices.

In addition to the ACT vs. SAT Comparison Test, Natick students will receive a discount on Chyten’s innovative test-prep program. The program aims to ensure that whichever test students select, their scores will reflect the absolute peak of their academic potential, enabling them to gain acceptance to a wider variety of colleges and universities. The Chyten tutoring system has had tremendous success among students of diverse backgrounds in improving performance and increasing confidence.

“One of the partnership advantages we offer at Chyten is concierge level service for parents,” says Chyten. “Natick families have their own academic and test prep advisor who is happy to assist parents in creating a game plan for success. Also, throughout the year we’ll be offering live and recorded webinars designed to support and inform parents of college bound students. There are decisions to be made, and we’re here to help.”

“We are proud to welcome Chyten Educational Services to the Natick community and look forward to their efforts to help our students succeed,” said Natick High School Principal Brian Harrigan. “This partnership is the latest example of innovative thinking that makes the Natick school system one of the best in the Commonwealth.”

As an extra benefit to the Natick community, Chyten will offer a scholarship program, the Superintendent’s Award, in the form of a sophomore essay writing contest. In the spring of 2017, current sophomores will write a 750-word essay on the topic of social responsibility and active citizenship. The winner of the Superintendent’s Award will receive Chyten’s SAT or AC T test preparation program free of charge. The course will be personalized for the award winner to help them meet their individual target SAT or ACT score.

Natick families can take advantage of these partnership benefits by visiting the Chyten website or calling the toll-free Natick Chyten Partnership hotline via 888-385-3401 or by sending an email to msheys@chyten.com.

Additional district partnerships with other localities are under consideration. Chyten launched a customized test preparation and tutoring program with Westwood Public Schools this year.
