We partner with you to create test prep and academic consultation as foundations for long-term learning, not just short-term technique. We are here to remove the stress students feel during admissions time – and replace it with the skills, trust, and results to create ongoing learning strengths for life, through proven approaches such as, 3 Step Method for Problem Solving in Math, Active Reading, 3 Step Method in English, PMR method in Science, etc., to unblock self-limiting beliefs with each student.
Our top-ranked 1:1 educators understand a “skill-level” is only a starting point for each learner’s test prep or admissions coaching. Through our three-step free online process – Consultation, Strengths Assessment, and highly Personalized Recommendations – we build a completely unique SAT, ACT, GRE or academic coaching program for each student, online, across a range of learning differences and needs.
