Our instructors are professional high school and college level Math and English teachers who are dedicated to helping you achieve the best score possible. Classes are approached as a tutorial. All courses begin with a diagnostic test, which will help instructor and student evaluate strengths and weaknesses. Class size is limited to 16 participants in order to ensure individual needs can be addressed.
