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.

"Allie is a sophomore at Mary Washington and absolutely loving every minute of every class. I must say - your course changed her life whether she knows it or not. Before your course, to college admission people she was invisible - lost in a sea of academic mediocrity. After your course, she took her ACTs and SATs and suddenly she was on EVERYBODY'S radar. She had wanted to go to Mary Wash since she was 10 years old and frankly we doubted that she was going to make it. After your course and her tests results, she sailed in - and is having the time of her life. Thank you."

"I really felt that Top 100 Words as well as the Vocabu-toons were very helpful....All of the different sections have interesting ways of presenting the information....I liked how [the teacher] went through the tests very thoroughly."

"The book Boot Camp for Your Brain is everything I need to know. The Top 100 Words have helped to build my vocabulary. I wish teachers had taught math the way the MathFacts taught math."
