Loren Dunn is an exceptionally gifted and dedicated educator. In just a couple of months, he was able to help my son increase his test scores to the level where he can be competitive at the schools of our choice. What's even more important, Loren made each lesson so engaging and interactive that my child has always been looking forward to studying with Loren. We can't recommend Loren more and look forward to working with him again in the future.
Great Minds Don't Think Alike
We believe…
Every student is different. This simple fact should inform every aspect of the tutoring process, from tutor match to program timeline.
You get out of tutoring what you put in. Great results are earned, and a tutor’s job is to channel the student’s hard work in the most productive and efficient direction.
It takes a village. No matter the subject or test, preparation should be a team effort. When you work with us, you get a team of people committed to helping you or your student succeed.
It’s a poor craftsman that blames his tools… but it’s a negligent craftsman that ignores them. We strive to use only the best materials in all our programs, combining in-house curriculum with the highest-quality third-party materials available.

Individualization
Once tutoring is underway, your Pro will continually work to cater the learning experience to your needs. From the way material is presented to the practice work between sessions, you’ll learn on your terms.
Guidance
Our Pros are more than just content masters—they’re learning experts who are there to support you in every way possible throughout the tutoring process. And in addition to your tutor, there’s an entire team behind the scenes ready to help the program run smoothly from start to finish.
Test Prep
What do the LSAT, the AP Chem exam, and the Lower Level ISEE have in common? We have black belts in all of them. So no matter what test you’re preparing for, we’ve got a Pro who can help.
Practice Tests
We believe that every aspect of the test-taking process can and should be practiced. That’s why taking practice tests is just as central to our programs as studying content and learning strategy. Click to learn more and schedule a practice test today.
SAT/ACT Pathfinder Diagnostic
The SAT/ACT PathFinder is a 3-hour diagnostic exam that measures your testing strengths & weaknesses relative to the unique characteristics of the SAT and ACT. Our team of experts then analyzes the results and recommends the test that fits you the best.
Cognitive Learning Assessment
Our Cognitive Learning Assessment is an online diagnostic test developed by neuroscientists at Penn Medicine. In one hour, the test measures your student’s executive functions, complex reasoning ability, memory, and processing skills.
Academic Support
In a classroom setting, it can be difficult for students to get the 1:1 attention they need to truly master the material. Our Pros are experts in over 50 fields, they're as passionate as they are knowledgeable, and they’re here to help you learn on your terms.
Mindfulness & Mindset
Mastering standardized tests and excelling academically require more than content knowledge and strategic know-how. Approaching these challenges with the optimal mentality and being able to control your headspace during periods of intellectual stress are crucial ingredients for success.
Youth Sports Partnerships
In many ways, athletes make the perfect students: they generally come to us with concrete goals and with an understanding of the importance of hard work and consistent practice already instilled in them. Our Youth Sports Partnerships program cultivates relationships with athletic organizations to provide support for as many student-athletes as possible all across the country.
School Partnerships
We understand that effective academic tutoring and test prep means more than just training the best tutors and helping individual students attain their best possible results. It’s our privilege to provide our partner schools with the assistance their students need all year round.
Educational Consultant Partnerships
Our tutors and staff are some of the foremost experts in supporting students striving for excellence on standardized tests and in the classroom, but they're not admissions experts or academic counselors. That’s why we’re always looking for partners who specialize in those areas. We make each other better, and nobody benefits more than the students.

What to expect if you work with Billy Calder. First, he will share his vast knowledge of the science of how the tests work and which test to take (we were unsure), and confidently and calmly recommend an action plan to your teen (who is likely dreading this process). He then shows up to each appointment on time (or early) with a consistently optimistic, patient and kind attitude. Billy encourages and supports and answers texts and is truly rooting for your teen to reach his/her goals. The interest he takes in his clients is appreciated, meaningful and inspiring. Emotions aside, BIlly’s clearly adept at helping students improve their scores and take tests with confidence.
