Mastering the skills that matter.
While we do share test-taking approaches and strategies, our focus is on teaching the material. Most immediately, we want students to be able to handle even the trickiest questions on the test. More important: It’s the deep learning that kids carry with them into college and beyond.

Beyond the content, there’s another level of education that’s about the process: how to go from not knowing something to getting it in a way that can be built on. Studying for standardized tests is an opportunity for students to learn how they learn—What’s most successful for their particular brain and body?—and get better at it.
​
The more awareness we can bring to the process, the closer students come not only to being able to educate themselves but to wanting to. That’s one of the loftiest goals of education: teaching kids to love learning so they go out into the world and do it.
We create unique curriculum for each student based on their existing knowledge, their goals for the test, how many sessions we have together, and how much time they have to study. Naturally, we address every aspect of the material on the test, focusing on what each student needs most. Our curriculum also includes:
Custom curriculum for every learner.
TEST-TAKING PREPARATION
How to orient to the test and how to study​
TEST EMPOWERMENT
A framework for aiming for higher scores while lessening anxiety
TEST-TAKING STRATEGIES
How to pace and how to approach specific types of questions
DEEPER LEARNING
