My husband and I tried helping Kait get ready for the Hunter High School test, and we were shocked at how hard it was. We needed a pro to help out, even though Kait is a bright girl. But with help from her tutor she was able to tackle the test like a pro, herself. Her tutor always knew when to challenge her and when to make her feel comfortably confident. Even after Kait took the test (and got into Hunter!), we continued to have her work with her HT tutor, just with general school help. Really incredibly helpful!

Holistic

We approach test prep from a child-centric perspective, and are sure to cater to the needs of the human we’re working with, not only the student. We don’t try to make a child’s life fit into a test prep program; we make sure that test prep fits comfortably into a child’s life.
