Thomas J. Courtney and Associates, Inc. was founded in 1968. Over the years, we have offered educational programs at over 75 schools in the metropolitan area on the elementary, secondary and college levels. In addition, we have offered training programs for employees at such diverse firms as Long Island Lighting and Electric, Ciba-Geigy, and Marine Midland Bank to name a few. This website, however, is devoted to one of our principal program offerings: our TACHS PREPARATION PROGRAM which we offer at six locations in the metropolitan area.

"My son was accepted to his top choice school. The Courtney TACHS Prep Program was well worth the investment".

About

Mr. Courtney, a certified School Psychologist in New York State, understands the anxiety students can feel when preparing for and taking exams. The instructional methods he developed build confidence, not anxiety. Unlike students in high-pressure programs who are given test after test, our students come away with the knowledge they need in all areas tested. On exam day, they feel confident and ready.

Our classes are offered on Saturday mornings. We have found that the students are rested and, as a result, are able to get more out of the program. The Saturday morning classes have proved to be more effective than after-school programs.

"Our daughter was usually a nervous wreck before tests. She went in very calm to the TACHS test and came out ecstatic".

TACHS Preparation Program

Our TACHS PREPARATION PROGRAM is an eighteen hour program with classes usually meeting once a week for six weeks. The program prepares students for the Test for Admissions into Catholic High Schools (TACHS). Specifically, the students are given instruction that will prepare them for the language arts, math, reading, and analytical sections of the TACHS examination. It is taught by experienced, licensed teachers. Included will be examination structure, test-taking strategies and techniques, as well as practice of all types of questions.

Our TACHS PREPARATION PROGRAM is offered at six locations throughout the New York Metropolitan area. Please call (914) 751-2856 for class locations and schedules.

FEE

The fee for our TACHS PREPARATION PROGRAM is $325. The fee covers the 18 hours of instruction and all materials.

Please note that the parents are responsible for registering their children for the TACHS exam.

WE DO NOT REGISTER CHILDREN FOR THE EXAM.
