We hold the controversial belief that test prep can and should teach real academic skills. Rather than emphasizing “beating the test,” we take a holistic approach: as students take practice tests and improve test-taking skills, they also learn what academic areas the test assesses and then build those skills, leading to success on the test—and in high school, college, and beyond, too.
We listen to and respect each student as an individual, and lessons will be engaging, unique, and adapted to each student's needs. In exchange, students are expected to dedicate serious time and energy to their studies. Our highest-scoring students have two tutoring sessions each week and spend between three and eight hours on homework.
