We believe in staying small. We don't teach more than 10 students at a time (with two instructors, that's a 1:5 teacher-to-student ratio). Our experience shows us that learning in small groups is the most effective way to study—even more effective than one-on-one tutoring.

We believe in being smart. Before you take an official SAT test, before you take a class to prepare for it, before you decide what you have to work on, you should know how your current skills measure up. We'll work with you to figure out your strengths and weaknesses.

We believe in being strategic. If you have a head for numbers, you might not need help on the math section of the test, but you'd love to know how one reading comprehension answer can be more correct than the others. Maybe you write a killer essay but grow weak in the knees at the thought of the Pythagorean Theorem. We let you focus your test prep on one or two sections—or work on all of them.
