Let our smart and mindful Ivy League mentors lead your student towards their desired university.

Academic tutoring:
More than teaching subject matter, our objectives aim at equipping pupils with strategies to learn content independently. Before delving into long-term teaching, we determine the student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style through proprietary cognitive assessment. This assessment generates a personalized study plan with data-backed suggestions on how to enhance academic performance. After evaluation, we guide your student through lessons, adjust academic strategies, and monitor progress.

Test prep:
As we solely teach our students 1-1, our curriculum is personalized with tailored lesson plans. Diagnostic tests are administered at the start; our team assesses the student's strengths and weaknesses, delving deeply and analyzing the specific issues that are causing academic mishap. Using this information, we establish a personalized approach that suits your child's learning style and efficiently boosts their scores.

Admissions counseling:
Our empathetic 1-1 mentorship scheme is combined with a network of resources and opportunities. Our team understands the desire to present oneself as "well-rounded", but these days, admission officers seek students with a distinct passion. Therefore, to help your child pursue their passions in high school, we provide many opportunities for them to intern and participate in extracurricular activities. Finally, in senior year, we help compile a resume with a clear theme, accompanied by well-written essays that’ll help them stand out in the pool of applicants.
