Student & Parents Give Us Five Stars
“My son only had two weeks before his next SAT test and there was only time for 4 Powerful Prep sessions. His Tutor (Ryan) was amazing! My son’s scores went up 190 points and guaranteed his acceptance to his desired college. Thank you Powerful Prep!”
“Such fantastic SAT test prep! I needed a test prep tutor that could cater to my weaknesses (math!) and help hone my strengths and Powerful Prep did that and more. One-on-one with a great and knowledgeable tutor, flexible hours, and a strategy that made the test process less intimidating. I got a huge score boost and best of all, got into the college of my choice! I definitely recommend to anyone looking to boost their SAT/ACT score.”
“Our tutor was awesome. In just eight, 1.5 hour sessions, she took our son from a 28 to a 32 on the ACT. Mary was always pleasant, always on time, and very patient with our son. I would highly recommend this service!”

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cost compare to other test prep programs?
We focus on results, which means hiring only the very best tutors; specifically tutors with Ivy League degrees. All that to say, our focus is on being the very best option – not the cheapest. We respect that we may not be for everyone but if you are serious about increasing your test scores, we are the best option.
How long is your program?
Our program is customized to each student’s unique needs and depends largely on how many points you want to gain. Some students who need 100 points on their SAT or 1 point on their ACT will prep with us for a month; others looking for a perfect score will prepare with us for a year. But on average, three months is a good timeframe to start with.
How many hours a week is your program?
At Powerful Prep, one of our founding principles was developing focused, research-based curriculum. We became the nation’s highest point-gain program based on that, and the research tells us that 90-minutes is the most that students can focus with retention. So our meetings are 90-minutes, once-a-week, usually with about an hour a day of homework outside of class. Parents who compare us to other programs that have 5 and 10-hour-a-week classes will ask, “is 90-minutes really enough?” It is; and we have 10-years of results to prove it.
Superior SAT and ACT Scores, Guaranteed
*For students with official proctored baseline scores below 1300 (SAT) or 30 (ACT); who complete 12 tutoring sessions, complete all homework, and attend one proctored practice test per month.
