General strategy

One feature that sets us apart from other companies is our individualized “road map” we make for each of our students to set them on a path for long-term success. We begin by personally interviewing each student to determine their strengths, weaknesses, and interests. We then use this information, along with the student’s academic history and test scores (we offer diagnostic tests for those who have not taken them yet) to compile a list of “safety, “target,” and “reach” programs/schools. We then propose a strategy and timeline for the next several months or even years for how the student can best reach his or her goals.

 

Rather than achieving college admissions solely through test tutoring, we believe in the importance of helping students discover their interests, develop their academic skills, and build their confidence in preparation for interviews and presentations.
