SAT & ACT prep · 1-on-1, online
Raise your score 150+ points on the SAT, 3+ on the ACT, in 30 days.
Weekly 1-on-1 lesson with tutors who scored 1570+ SAT and a 35+ ACT, and an AI tutor teaching out loud the other six days.
Free 15-minute call, no card. You leave with your student's score plan, and the first session happens before you pay anything.
The consultation, the plan, the tutor, and the AI tutor that teaches the other six days.
What happens after you book
- 01
The call
Fifteen minutes with you. We find where your student is losing points and what is worth fixing first.
- 02
The plan
Their score plan, written down: the target, the sections costing the most points, and the order we take them in.
- 03
The first session
Your student works with their tutor before anything is billed. If it is not right, that is where it ends.
Everyone teaches one hour.
We teach the other six days too.
That is the whole difference, and no alternative can copy it. A tutoring service has no AI. An AI app has no tutor.

A tutor cannot be there every day. An app cannot know your kid. We built the one system that does both, and it is why scores move in weeks instead of semesters.

Fifteen minutes. We find every point she is losing.
The whole system, start to test day.
Six steps. The first three happen on one free call, so you will have seen the plan and met your tutor before you pay anything.
01
A free call, and a diagnostic that itemizes the gap.
Fifteen minutes, nothing to fill in. The consult writes itself down as we talk, and the diagnostic comes back as a list of question types rather than one number.

Every week aims at a named block of points, and every week has one tutor session and six days of AI teaching behind it. You see all of it before you decide anything.

The plan re-plans itself. A bad week rewrites the next one, before your tutor opens it.

You meet your tutor on that same call.
Not "we will be in touch once we find someone." We name the tutor, say why they fit, and book the first session before you hang up.

Your weekly lesson: your tutor, with the hour already planned.
Built from the roadmap before they sit down. A goal, a brief, and the exact material on the board. No tutor improvising your kid’s hour.
Session plan · Sofia’s weekly lesson Week 2 of 14, with Waleed
- Warm-up Three systems from last week, timed 8 min
- Teach Systems with no solution 15 min
- Example One problem, solved backwards 10 min
- Drill Five problems at test pace 17 min
- Close Sofia names the trap herself 5 min
05
The other six days: an AI tutor that talks.
Not a chatbot she has to remember to open. It calls her through the lesson Waleed assigned, out loud, on the same whiteboard, asking questions until she gets there herself.

New one on the board. Read it out loud for me.
- Sofia
three x plus two y equals twelve… six x plus four y equals thirty
- AI tutor
Good. What do you notice about the left sides?
- Sofia
the second one is just… double the first one?
- AI tutor
Right. So if you doubled the first one, what should the right side be?
- Sofia
twenty four. but it says thirty.
- AI tutor
So what does that tell you about these two lines?
Sofia’s mic is on. She is talking, not typing.
It never gives the answer. Every word of it reaches Waleed before the next lesson.

Both halves feed one brain, and it closes the loop.
The weekly lesson and every AI lesson land in the same profile. It moves the skill map, rewrites next week, and writes your Friday report. That loop is the product.

Sofia moved up a level in algebra and craft & structure. She is catching her own setup errors now. Next week: advanced math, the last big block of points.
We were the tutors first.
We taught for years before we built any of this. Every tutor we bring on is vetted and trained against the same standard before they teach a single session.

Do the first session before you pay.
The consultation is free and needs no card. Your student's first session happens before anything is billed. If it is not right, that is where it ends and you owe nothing. If it is right, that session counts as the first of the month.
- The consultation is free, and there's nothing to pay to book it.
- Nothing is billed until after your student's first session.
- Month to month from there. Stop whenever you want.
What parents are saying.
Names are changed at the families' request. The experiences are real.
We've paid five times this price for less. The tutors really know the material, everything is built around my son specifically, and he can get help any day of the week instead of waiting for his next session.
This is the first time I've actually known what my child was learning. They gave me my own login, so I could see every session and every practice assignment. Such peace of mind.
Waleed figured out where my son was struggling almost right away. He also checked in and helped him during the week, not only during their sessions. We were so grateful for that.
Not ready to book?
Leave your number
We'll reach out and share how we can help your student. No call to schedule.
What parents ask first.
How much can my kid’s score actually go up?
Our students average 150+ SAT points and 3+ ACT points in their first 30 days. Your kid’s number depends on where they start and how many weeks are left, so we will not quote you a target before we have seen a diagnostic. On the consultation we show you the gap broken down by question type, and what is realistically reachable by your test date. If we think your target is not reachable in the time you have, we will say so on that call.
What is the AI tutor, exactly?
A voice tutor. It calls your kid through the lesson their human tutor assigned, talking out loud, writing on the same whiteboard, asking questions until they get there themselves. It never hands over an answer, and everything it does lands in the notes their tutor reads before the next session. It is not a chatbot bolted onto a tutoring service. It is the six days a tutor cannot be there.
So is my kid taught by a person or by a machine?
By a person, backed by a machine. A real tutor leads every live session, sets the plan, and approves every piece of work the AI assigns. Between us the founders scored a 1570 SAT and a 35 ACT, and every tutor we bring on is vetted and trained before they teach. The AI extends that tutor across the week. It does not replace them.
Should they take the SAT or the ACT?
The diagnostic answers that. The two tests reward different things: pacing and data reading on one, breadth and speed on the other. It is common for the same student to score meaningfully better on one. We will tell you which to aim at before you spend a month prepping for the wrong test.
Our test is in six weeks. Is that too late?
No, but the plan looks different. A short runway means we go straight at the highest-value question types, drop everything else, and lean much harder on the days between sessions. That is exactly where we have room an hour-a-week tutor does not. Bring your test date to the call and we will show you what the six weeks would look like.
What if it is not working?
Nothing is billed until after your student's first session, so you see the work before you pay for it. If it is not right, that is where it ends and you owe nothing. If it is right, that session counts as the first of the month, and it is month to month from there: cancel any time, with no package to buy your way out of. You will also see the skill map every week, so you are never guessing whether it is working.
