I met with tutors for French, Physics, and Biology. I can honestly say that my experiences with each of these tutors was nothing short of spectacular. They are not only wonderful tutors, they are all committed, understanding, friendly people. They were consistently able to keep me engaged, manage time efficiently, and make my overall learning experience very enjoyable.

My tutor was very hands-on when it came to my learning. She has a keen knowledge of all the relevant information and really wanted to see me excel. She took so much stress off of me by making it fun and accessible. What more can I say? You guys are amazing!!!

My tutor was patient, outgoing, and a pleasure to be around. Great Expectations broke things down to their simplest form, making the material much easier to comprehend. Thank you!!

In only a handful of sessions, my GE tutor helped raise my SAT score by 210 points. While I worked with the same tutor for SAT prep and college applications, I also met with 3 amazing other tutors for various subjects. I would recommend Great Expectations to absolutely anyone because I am confident that their tutors are capable of helping any student through whatever academic challenges may arise.

I can honestly say that my experiences with each of my tutors was nothing short of spectacular. They are not only wonderful tutors, they are all committed, understanding, friendly people. During my last-minute, panicked cram sessions that would occasionally run as late as 1:00am, my tutors did whatever it took to keep my attention and keep my work rate up (sometimes that meant feeding me chocolate periodically). I would recommend Great Expectations to absolutely anyone because I am confident that their tutors are capable of helping any student through whatever academic challenges may arise.

background

Grades 9-12

If you go to an Information Session at any top tier university, you are likely to hear some visiting high school student ask, “Is it better to get a B in an AP class or an A in a regular class?” Almost without fail, the Admissions representative’s response will be, “It’s better to get an A in an AP class.”

While standardized tests, extracurricular activities, and admissions essays play influential roles in college admissions, more than 50% of a college’s decision still comes down to a student’s transcript. Admissions officers not only look at your GPA, but also at the rigor of your coursework — did you challenge yourself at every turn? Taking Honors or AP classes demonstrates to colleges that you are eager to challenge yourself and are not afraid of college-level material or workloads. Remember, in their eyes, doing well in standard high school-level classes doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be ready for the challenge and pace of college-level courses; taking and excelling in advanced classes is the best way to prove that you are.

Don’t wait until you’ve dug yourself a hole that you can’t get out of before deciding to get help. Our tutors will not only help you gain a deeper understanding of the material presented at school, but they will also teach you effective study habits and organizational skills while preparing you for upcoming assignments and tests.
