Standardized Test Prep

We uniquely integrate learning sciences and college planning into our ACT exam prep and other standardized test prep to make the time and effort studying for it be most effective.

More Than SAT Test Prep: Approach

World-class athletes have world-class coaches.

A coach’s role is to help maximize an athlete’s energy, time, strategy, and resources so that the athlete could reach beyond the potential of his or her own efforts. Our team of tutors are best-in-class Academic Coaches who could bring out the best in our students, so that their test prep time and efforts are maximized.

We uniquely integrate learning sciences and college planning into our ACT to make the time and effort studying for it be most effective. Our students learn how to study for the ACT in addition to gaining great results. Here’s how we do it:

Detailed Diagnostic, Individualized Goal Setting, and Personalized Roadmap

From here to there: Based on your diagnostic test, we can pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses in terms of both content of the test and your strategic approach to the test. We then work with you to set tangible goals and create a customized roadmap to help you reach your goals — your test prep goals and how they fit into your long-term college and career goals.

Our Teaching & Coaching

Our Academic Coaches go through a rigorous hiring and training process — we have expert knowledge of what we teach, and we are excellent communicators and educators. We are keen to the challenges and struggles that our students face, and we are are strategic about providing coaching to help our students get to their goals. Furthermore, we maintain frequent and transparent formative assessments and feedbacks, keeping our students and parents in the loop.

Our Teaching Materials

Our Teaching Materials build on over fifteen years of experience and expertise in the test prep industry as well as research-proven teaching and learning practices developed at Harvard Graduate School of Education and Harvard Innovation Lab. Our teaching content, practice problems, and support are divided into different levels of difficulty, and they are scaffolded to provide the right level of support and challenge for our students.

Our Principles, Our Promises

Our Company Principles are built around helping each student discovering and building on his or her strengths and interests, and using them to gain confidence, maximize one’s efforts, and support their weaknesses. We not only focus on test scores as a final outcome, but we see it as a part of the holistic personhood of a student, seeing how test scores fit into college preparation and application process. Because we are also experts in College Consulting, we can maximize our students and parents’ efforts for maximum benefit in the overall college process.
