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.

"My son took Ms. Manning's bestprep course and his scores increased 330 points from his last PSAT to this one. Additionally, since the most recent PSAT, his scores have increased even more in practice testing. My son went from the 80th percentile in reading/writing to the 97th percentile and 91st percentile in mathematics to the 97th percentile. This course works like magic. The tutors for SAT and ACT focused my son on the problems he was having and gave him solid advice on how to answer the questions faster, make better guesses, and make more intelligent eliminations. With the ease of being able to set a tutoring schedule around my son's very busy life, I cannot recommend this course enough. It was worth every penny to get him from hoping to get into a second tier school to knowing he will get into a second tier school and have a good shot at a top university. Priceless.""

"The first time I took the LSAT, I self-studied. This time, I took this course, which has pointed out a hundred things to me that I never would have caught or thought of on my own. I feel more confident going into the LSAT now. I feel as ready as I'll ever be. Definitely much more confident than my first time taking it. This has been super helpful overall."

"To be honest, when my mom signed me up for the class I wasn't too thrilled. It was just one more boring class on my very long list, but as I got into the program, I began to love it. I have learned so much that I know I can walk into that testing room confident!"
