SSAT Tutoring


Gaining entry into selective private schools is more and more difficult every year. For many students, the SSAT is by far the most daunting part of the process; approached in the wrong way, it can become the basis for a lifelong fear of standardized testing.

Secondary School Application Essays


The nation’s top prep schools are searching for students with promise, curiosity, and ideas waiting to spring forth. They are also looking for students who are genuine, empathetic, and awareness of the world around them. With the right essay, students can provide compelling glimpses into their character, intellect, and academic promise.

SAT Tutoring

Introducing Mike and Patrick Barrett, our newest team members. Mike and Patrick, gurus in the tutoring world, are what we call “rogue tutors” with their stunning, successful new approach to standardized tests. The rogues lay out a program that de-emphasizes memorization, flashcards, and all the other inefficient parts of traditional studying, and puts the focus on intelligent analysis instead.

GRE Tutoring


The GRE is one of the most poorly constructed standardized tests in America. Its capricious computerized format and unorthodox question formats mean that most GRE-takers either end up with extremely disappointing scores or spend months preparing and reviewing. Our Rogue Tutor Mike Barrett has cracked the GRE code. This five hour one on one tutoring package is via phone and available to students everywhere.

GMAT Tutoring


The GMAT is sort of a hybrid of several other well-known tests, which means that the problems most people encounter when applying the traditional test prep methods to it are especially varied—and that, in turn, means that working with Mike Barrett to approach the test in the right way can save you even more time and frustration than it does for people taking other tests. The GMAT is actually a pretty easy thing to take apart if you focus on what it’s really doing, and Mike is just the guy to show you how to do that.
