Our tutors have logged over 250,000 hours providing insights and instruction to students in the one-on-one setting.
We know that students are the greatest experts about themselves. We start by listening. Then, we help students solve problems and overcome the obstacles standing between them and success.
Students often don’t like to talk about their struggles in the classroom and on tests. That reluctance makes it hard to get to the heart of what they need to do to improve. We work hard to create a safe, supporting relationship with our students so they feel comfortable being honest with both us and, perhaps even more importantly, with themselves. We listen, connect, and support to help students progress to academic success.
A sense of control is central to motivation and to stress tolerance, both a subjective sense of autonomy and “being in their right minds” when school feels intense. We put students at the center of their own learning, equip them with the tools and strategies, and them master strategies through practice, giving students the sense of control they need to achieve their best on test day.
The PrepMatters team isn’t just changing test scores, grades, and admissions; we’re changing self-images. We know that just as success changes self-images, changing self-images leads to success.
