Finding the best route to success

In addition to helping students prepare for college entrance tests, we also help them explore more effective, momentum-building processes that are taken with equal or greater weight by college admissions counselors. 

Testing is not the end all be all. Effective, thought-out planning and targeted academic support is our goal for each student.
