We choose subjects we can do extraordinarily well rather than carrying a full catalog. Below: who each program is for, what to expect, and what it costs.
Our flagship program and the reason most families find us. Twelve sessions, two full-length practice tests, and a written study plan that the student keeps even after we're done. Most students start three to four months before their target sitting.
We don't believe in "magic strategy." We believe in clean math habits, careful reading practice, and one tutor who sees the student weekly. The 220-point average gain is calculated across our last 110 12-pack students — the worst gain was 80, the best was 410.
Year-long support for students taking AB or BC at a Boston-area high school. Most families start in September with weekly sessions; some come to us in March for a six-week May exam push. Our tutors teach calculus in the morning and tutor it at night — no one is winging it.
We work the student's actual class. We do not run a parallel curriculum. Homework that's already due Monday gets the priority — growth comes from doing real work right, not from extra busywork.
Two of our tutors are former physics teachers and one is finishing a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. We meet students where they are: the AP-1 student staring at free-body diagrams for the first time, and the C: Mechanics student needing calculus tightened.
Physics rewards problem-solving habits more than memorization. Most of our session time is spent at the whiteboard with the student narrating, not the tutor lecturing.
AP Chem is the course where good students lose their first A. The volume of material across nine units is real, and the FRQ section is its own beast. Our tutors break the year into three phases — build, consolidate, exam — and adjust the cadence each phase.
We're particular about lab work. Labs are where real understanding lives, and they're where the FRQ rubric points to a 5. We rebuild lab notebooks if the student's notes have fallen behind.
Five sessions starting in late June, finishing the Common App essay and one supplement before the Labor Day deadline craze. Our coaches are working writers — an MFA, a journalist, a high-school English chair — not gatekeepers grading "approved topics."
We do not write for students. We won't ghost-edit a draft. We help the student find the story they want to tell and revise it through six or seven drafts until it's actually ready.
Tell us about the student and the goal. We'll propose two tutor matches by the next business day.
