SAT Preparation
Grades 9–12

Our one-on-one, custom-designed SAT programs are rigorous, thorough, and tailor-fit to meet each student's needs. We begin with a baseline score, design a targeted plan of attack, then work systematically through problem areas, key strategies, and content drills — all backed by detailed parent session reports after every meeting. Our tutors are Prepped and Trained℠ certified: knowledgeable, reliable, and motivating.

ACT Preparation
Grades 9–12

Our ACT tutoring is built around one goal: getting your student ready and confident for test day. We analyze baseline scores (or administer a simulated test if none exists), then craft a personalized plan covering Math, Science, English, Reading, and the optional Essay — with pacing strategies and targeted drills throughout.
