Ivy Experience

We are your essential ally throughout the college admissions process. We help students in every phase of their education. That is why we provide everything from SAT/ACT test preparation, to college application and essay coaching, to academic tutoring, to admissions prep meetings and college night seminars. With college admissions more competitive than ever, students need to excel in each of these realms to optimize their applications. We work with clients on their terms: when they want to meet, how often they want to meet, and where they want to meet. In select areas in the Greater Philadelphia and San Diego areas, our tutors can come to the comfort of your own home, or meet at a local bookstore or coffee shop. But we can work with a student anywhere in the world; through FaceTime and Skype, we have worked with students nationwide and internationally – to date, in 33 states and 19 countries on SAT/ACT test preparation and college application and essay coaching. We build close, personal relationship with students and their families. By working with students throughout so many phases of their high school journeys, we understand their passions, character, and interests, and how to best support them to achieve their goals and dreams. We foster strong community relationships, too. We offer educational support and enrichment services to private clients, groups, community organizations, and schools at an excellent value. We empower students, preparing them for future success. It is not just about getting students the correct answer on one test or meeting the deadline for an application. We instill confidence in students, equipping them with the critical thinking, analytical, organizational, and self-reflection skills needed to achieve success in all future endeavors.
