About
As a full-service organization, we specialize in college application strategy, essay coaching, standardized test prep, and personalized tutor support. While college admissions is our focus, we also provide academic guidance to strengthen students’ skills and readiness throughout high school.
We’ve earned a reputation for excellence through our core values: personalized attention, carefully hand-picked tutor matches, and measurable results. If we don’t currently offer exactly what you’re looking for, let us know—we’ll find the perfect, highest-quality match for your needs.
Principles
START SLOWLY: Overwhelming students with information gets them nowhere. We begin at a manageable pace, guiding each student step by step
BREAK IT DOWN: Avoidance often means confusion. We show students how to tackle applications, essays, and test prep piece by piece.
LEARN THE MATERIAL: Success on standardized tests and in school comes from mastering the content, not just learning tricks.
BUILD HABITS: Organization, dedication, and follow-through are essential for both academic success and strong college applications.
Learning is a journey. Planting the Ivy is your teacher.
