When you say the word education, most people think of schools and classrooms.
We think of 1-on-1 expert instruction.
Through thousands of hours of collective one-on-one test prep experience, we are acutely aware of what studies have shown time and again: students who experience expert 1-on-1 instruction do 2 standard deviations better than they would in a traditional classroom setting.
What makes an expert tutor?
Virtual or in-person, our tutors marry their masterful knowledge of the material with an intimate understanding of each student’s abilities to chart a skill-building path that can transform their performance on standardized tests.

With SmartyPrep, now we’re excited about cutting that number in half. Because the skill-building tools make our tutoring efforts just as effective outside of session, we get the same results in half the time. What’s more, students don’t waste time working on concepts they already understand. On SmartyPrep, they’re always challenged to grow through the customized instant feedback and adaptive practice that supercharge skill acquisition.
SmartyPrep’s combination of man and machine allows us to constantly redefine expert tutoring as we critically engage with this feedback loop of artificial intelligence, data, and human instruction. And in redefining the test prep landscape, SmartyPrep is leading the charge in democratizing one-on-one expert instruction.
