How College Prep Works

  1. Intake Meeting: Discuss program expectations, scheduling, next steps and any questions or concerns you might have with our College Prep Advisor.
  2. Assessment: We start the course with a personal test to find out what you’re good at and where you need help in math, reading, and writing.
  3. Custom Learning Plan: After the test, we make a plan just for you. Whether you need help with pre-algebra, understanding what you read, or writing essays, we’re here for you.
  4. Flexible Scheduling: You can pick in-person or online and day or evening sessions that fit your schedule.
  5. Expert Tutors: Our tutors are skilled teachers who know how to get students ready for college. They’ll be there to guide you and make sure you feel confident.
  6. Progress Tracking: We’ll keep checking how you’re doing and change your learning plan if needed to help you keep improving.

Let's get started!
