Our preparation methods are so effective when properly followed that we guarantee you will improve your SAT score (for example) by at least 100 points on actual tests. We don't play games as some courses do by giving you a contrived, difficult test the first day and then counting your increase based on that artificially low score. We work individually (but affordably) to ensure that each student gets the attention he or she needs; this is not a factory approach. We prep all year round and customize both curricula and schedules for your convenience and optimal results. We also help with essays for college and scholarship applications.
We work with students wherever you are, and our tutors are phenomenal! We also offer an extremely effective online PSAT/SAT prep course that uses video and audio to teach everything that appears on the SAT, with unlimited access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for up to a year (extensions are available).
We also offer individual tutoring sessions for students who need help with a particular subject.

"I took the SATs today! I felt surprisingly more confident than I thought I would...I only skipped a few questions throughout the whole thing, and I remembered so much of what we learned in your class. For example, the parallel construction popped up EVERYWHERE...and the Top 100 Words to know definitely helped a ton. So, I just wanted to check in and let you know that I DID IT!! Well, thank you so much for everything you've done, especially the essays...I looked over my essays that you've graded last night and that really helped me out today."

"The class was recommended to us by his counselor at Thomas Jefferson High School....My son had already scored a 1420 on the SAT when he took Ms. Manning's class, so he was already in good standing and we weren't sure he could do much better. After her class he scored a 1600! She makes the student work; this isn't a better score through osmosis (an SAT word!), so your child has to want to participate, but if they do chances are good they will get a better score and that is not always the case with SAT prep classes....the SAT score is so important in the college application process it's important to take a really good program."
