How Ivy League tutoring works at Ivy Tutoring
- Free call. We ask where the student is now, the goal and the test date or deadline.
- A matched tutor. We pair the student with a tutor who scored at the top of that exam or took that class.
- 1-on-1 sessions online. The same tutor each time, at hours that fit school, sports and work.
- Practice between sessions. Students use our free SAT practice tests and free ACT practice tests, and the tutor reviews what was missed.
Why choose an Ivy League tutor?
A tutor who recently earned a top score knows the current test, not the one from ten years ago. Our tutors took the digital SAT, the enhanced ACT and today's AP exams themselves, and they went through the same college applications our students are writing now. They are also close enough in age that students tend to ask them the questions they will not ask a teacher.
A school name is not the whole story, so it is not the only thing we hire for. Each tutor has to show a top score on the exam they teach, pass our screening and train with our team before working with a student.
