Growing Stars provides comprehensive tutoring services designed to help students excel in the ACCUPLACER English tests and achieve their optimal college course placement.
The ACCUPLACER is a computer-based assessment used by colleges to place students in the appropriate course levels. The English section evaluates students’ readiness for college-level reading and writing. The ACCUPLACER is “computer-adaptive,” meaning that the difficulty of the questions adjusts based on the student’s responses. Colleges use these results to determine if a student is ready to take regular, credit-bearing courses or if they require additional academic support.
Growing Stars offers an online ACCUPLACER English tutoring program tailored to help students confidently succeed in this computer-adaptive assessment. Our one-on-one expert tutors equip you with the linguistic knowledge and analytical skills needed to achieve a high placement score. By working with our tutors, students can bypass expensive, non-credit remedial reading and writing courses and enter college-level classes as soon as possible.
The ACCUPLACER English assessment covers the following areas. Our tutoring addresses all necessary concepts within each section:
ACCUPLACER for English Language Learners (ESL): Assesses language use, listening, reading skills, and sentence meaning specifically for non-native speakers.
Tailored Support for Each Student Our qualified tutors provide personalized, one-on-one support tailored to address the specific reading and writing needs of each student. In addition to helping students understand the format of computer-adaptive testing, our tutors assist learners in refining their skills to achieve optimal performance.

Why is ACCUPLACER tutoring helpful?
The program follows a comprehensive and structured approach that covers every key learning objective outlined by the College Board. Therefore, it prepares the learner to take the placement test with full confidence.
Why choose one-on-one tutoring?
This teaching method provides the student an opportunity to learn at their own pace, which is ideal for an untimed, adaptive test that evaluates individualized skill levels.
What happens if I don’t “pass” the ACCUPLACER test?
There is no such thing as failing the ACCUPLACER test, but a poor performance typically indicates that you will need to enroll in a non-credit remedial class prior to taking the courses necessary for completion of your degree. With Growing Stars’ online tutoring services, you will be better prepared to place directly into credit-bearing courses, saving you both time and money.
Do advanced learners benefit from this course?
Yes. Because the test is adaptive, advanced learners can prepare for the highest-difficulty questions, allowing them to place directly into advanced college courses and skip introductory levels.
