Intelligentsia Tutoring Co. Offers High School and College Test Prep

November 25, 2020 by Denise Courter

Intelligentsia Tutoring Co. Offers High School and College Test Prep

 

Feelings of academic uncertainty are at an all-time high this year with school closures, remote learning, and testing delays. When will things return to normal? When will schedules get back on track? Will my child be able to take the next step academically?

Intelligentsia Tutoring Co. knows that the best way to ease anxiety over uncertainty is to set a plan and create a sense of control. Every year, this is the time when test prep for the spring really begins and, in 2020, it’s even more vital to lay out a path for success. Yes, test dates may change and locations may not be fixed, but mastery of the tests and material are within your control.

Intelligentsia offers test prep for scholastic and collegiate entrance exams, including the ACT, SAT I & IIs, AP and Regents Exams, as well as the ISEE, SHSAT, and SSAT. Their tutors are skilled in elevating the performance of underachievers, and in raising the bar for students that are already performing above their peers.

Plus, they’ve launched small-group test prep courses. Whether you join a class or bring your own pod, their small-group test prep courses consist of only 5-8 students to allow for focused group study and individual instructor attention. Held remotely or in-person, their courses are geared towards beginners looking to take their tests in the spring or summer of 2021. Classes meet for 90 minutes, twice a week, for 24 weeks.

Nailed it! At Home Experience was a messy but fun Nailed it! At Home Experience was a messy but fun afternoon. Think this dynamic duo did a great job of creating the Double Trouble Double (and a single) Cheeseburger Meal. And it tastes delicious! It did topple over at the end but no one cared, since we weren’t in the running for $10,000 like it is on the @netflix show @nailedit !

A little Vitamin C, mixed in with some Vitamin D, A little Vitamin C, mixed in with some Vitamin D, goes a long way. Spring has sprung, jackets are going to the back of the closet and there’s hope in the air. 

As a native CA girl who grew up with orange 🍊 groves; oranges and the sun ☀️ are a perfect pairing. Grateful for the gorgeous weather and the feeling of hope that Spring brings.
