What makes our program unique?

They know kids and know how to relate to them.
They are smart, and have attended the nation’s top colleges.
They have been trained in teaching methods and learning styles.
They know everything there is to know about the test.

Our knowledge

We know the SAT, the ACT and the SAT II’s: their differences and similarities.
We have many years of standardized test experience.
We will explain every aspect of your test so that you can understand it.

Our tailoring and flexibility

Our program recognizes the differences among students and provides a program that fits you.
We understand the college admissions process and help you match your standardized tests to your overall goals.
We consult with students and parents throughout the process to make sure we understand you and your goals.
We offer programs of different length to accommodate students with differing needs.

Our approach

We recognize that it is difficult to learn from a lecture.
Instead, we teach all concepts and techniques through interactive experience.
We keep students involved to help them retain the material better.
If you choose to learn in a group, our class sizes are small to facilitate participation.
