What are the refund and guarantee policies?
We do not give refunds or offer score guarantees. However, if students or parents are dissatisfied with their results, we work with them to address their concerns and support them through their final test.
Do you also help with the college admissions process?
Of course! We offer a College Admissions Guidance in-person bootcamp to work with students on their essay-writing skills, financial aid opportunities, resume building, and more! Additionally, through our College Essay Offering program, students can obtain valuable advice on how to strengthen their supplemental essays and their flagship essay in an individualized, feedback-oriented setting. If students […]
Is there a program that combines SAT and ACT prep?
Yes! We offer a Combined ACT & SAT program as well as an ACT & SAT + College Admissions Guidance program. Both programs are designed for high school sophomores who are serious about preparing for the ACT and SAT. However, students starting later in the test prep process may choose to focus on one test […]
Do you offer programs for seventh and eighth graders to get a head start on their SAT and ACT prep?

Do you offer free private tutoring to students in your in-person SAT/ACT prep classes?

What are the dos and don’ts of your in-person classes?
Do… Don’t… Arrive to class five to ten minutes before it starts. Arrive late to class. Punctuality is key! Avoid missing class. We offer makeup classes, but we strongly prefer that you attend the session time that you signed up for! Skip our office hours if you still have questions that need answering! Complete your […]
Do you assign homework?
Yes! No matter the class, we assign some kind of Math, Reading, and/or Grammar homework to keep our students in tune with core concepts. We always review assignments during the following session and allow for student questions and collaboration. We believe that at-home study is just as important as in-class instruction because it allows students […]
Do you cover strategies or content?
Both! A solid grasp of the content (Math, Grammar, etc.) as well as specific strategies for beating your particular test are both critical to scoring high on the SAT and the ACT. Some students might need more focus on content, while others might have the content down and thus need more strategy review. Either way, […]
Do you have a YouTube channel?
As a matter of fact, we do! From SAT Reading playlists to an ACT English Bootcamp, we have hundreds of (free!) videos to assist you throughout high school.

How does program payment work?
It depends on the course offering that you choose. For our video courses, for example, we ask that you make a one-time payment, whereas for our tutoring sessions we offer a little more flexibility. On the contrary, for our in-person courses parents are required to pay in two installments: one just before the program starts […]
