Our vision is considerably larger than our team. We envision the evolution of an improved model for students to make informed decisions about how to navigate college, medical school, entrepreneurial, trade, and military pathways. With fourteen years' experience behind us, we have established range and depth in decision-making and risk management integral to these pathways, and we prepare and coach students on how to bridge the critical "bottlenecks" that often derail them from their respective pursuits. We expect this model to become an increasingly attractive option for many ambitious learners. Our focus is on building trusting relationships and earning successful, merit-based outcomes.

​

  The link between education and opportunity is clear -- and, through our experience, we've understood that our time-tested and proven methods, tools, and expertise make a serious difference in our students' and clients' outcomes, particularly by anticipating and preparing for challenging coursework and tests in advance. 

​

We are proud but humble about our track record. It's a privilege to do the work we do.

The three pillars of our mission have remained the same since our founding:

 

  • Provide students with the highest quality tutoring, coaching, and guidance

  • Maximize short-run and long-run outcomes while minimizing cost and risks associated with higher education

  • Incorporate methods and curricula that encourage exploration across a wide variety of professional fields 

 

​

For over fourteen years, our small but highly experienced team has had the privilege of working with thousands of students and clients, whose requests range from lesson-based tutoring to full-course immersive programs to preparation on SATs and ACTs, medical exams, law exams, engineering exams, and strategies for the best placement and outcomes within these competitive institutions.

 

​

Our models are based on experience, service, and efficiency, and given the unique circumstances of each student and case, we've developed customized and innovative tools to ensure success both in the short- and long-run. Our commitment to honest feedback is vital to our mission.

Mission&Vision

Why work with us?

Our proven methods and expertise on various subjects, exams, institutional and career placement, risk and cost management, and scholarship awards has earned us our reputation. Our students and clients receive the highest quality of service, coaching and teaching, and personal investment in the industry; and we give you freedom to choose -- in person or via remote platforms from anywhere. We prefer to see our students face-to-face, but many of you can be rather busy! 

 

Our students have earned enrollment at the finest universities and programs in the world. Many go on to work at prestigious companies, proceed to medical or law school, or earn commission in the military. We never underestimate the potential of any single individual with whom we work.

​

Over the years, we've been honored to coach and guide students who, through our collaborative efforts, have found placements in institutions such as The University of Notre Dame, University of Chicago, Northwestern University, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Michigan, Vanderbilt University, University of St. Andrews, Case Western Reserve University, Purdue University, The Air Force Academy, The Naval Academy, West Point, Carnegie Melon, Brown University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, THE Ohio State University, University of North Carolina, Baylor University, University of Texas-Austin, University of Florida, Rice University, Indiana University, University of Iowa, University of Minnesota, University of Tennessee, University of South Carolina, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Georgia Tech, Emory University, among many others

​

Beyond the undergraduate level, we also teach, coach, and advise students pursuing graduate, medical, or law degrees. Our work at this level is similar to that at the undergraduate level, but the stakes are often higher, given the implicit and explicit costs of reaching this point. Our former students have attended institutions such as University of Chicago, Rush Medical College, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine (CCOM), Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine, Loyola Stritch School of Medicine, Michigan State University College of Medicine, Central Michigan University Medical School, University of Missouri at Kansas City Medical School, Amherst School of Law, McKinney School of Law, Baylor College of Psychology, University of Minnesota School of Medicine, University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, among others.
