THE PROSPECT OF LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL DOESN’T NEED TO BE DAUNTING.

COLLEGE & CAREER PREP

ACT/SAT/PSAT PREP

— Typical program: Eight 90-minute sessions (12 hours)

The Real Deal: 

A dancer needs to practice her routine to the same song that she will use during the competition; a wrestler needs to wrestle people in his weight class before the meet. In the same vein, our students use real tests and practice between sessions under real conditions. Through their authentic experience, students develop all-important stamina and are more confident on test day. After all, if you practice like you play, then you will play like you practice! 

Tried and True: 

We empower students with gold-standard strategies and get real results.

Enlightened Approach:

Your child is more than a test score; we build well rounded, whole people–not just test takers. 

VALUE:

You’d spend hundreds or thousands more with other groups and individuals for a similar outcome. Our scale allows us to provide uncompromised quality for an affordable price. 

WE COVER IT ALL:

We coach every section of every test–no need to spend time and energy cobbling tutors together. 


PERSONALIZATION:

Our programs are robust but customized to meet your child’s particular needs and goals. No two student experiences are ever the same.

PROGRESS MONITORING:

Student progress is tracked and monitored so we can celebrate what’s working and fix what’s not.

JOB READINESS

Stepping into the working world with polished skills gets more important every day; today’s employers are looking for more than just smarts. Is your child equipped to thrive? We’ll help them get there. Our coaches have a wealth of wisdom paired with immersion in today’s trends.

Opportunities for Students with Learning Differences

Many students are stuck “in the middle”–fully capable of thriving beyond high school but they don’t fit in the mainstream mold. Examples include students who are affected by ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. Unfortunately, options for these students may appear limited. But they’re not! We’ll open up a world of opportunities that can both empower and support your child. Our coaches are passionate, knowledgeable advocates who will change your outlook on the road ahead.
