Summit Prep is New Jersey’s top-reviewed tutoring company: over 300+ 5-star Google reviews and an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Our students’ average score gains are 210 points on the SAT® and 6 points on the ACT®. Our full-time, career tutors (each trained a minimum of 160 hours on the SAT/ACT) use a customized, evidence-based curriculum to target only the skills each student needs; if the fit isn’t right, we don’t charge for that session and promptly match the student with another expert. We offer private tutoring online and at our Short Hills and Bernardsville centers.
Consistently stellar outcomes backed by public reviews
- Over 99% 5-star reviews: delighted students and parents are our norm, not our exceptions.
- More 5-star Google reviews than any other tutoring company in New Jersey
- 300+ authentic, public reviews across all review sites
- The highest praise we receive is that almost all of our families come back for us to tutor their younger kids as well.
- BBB Accredited Business with an A+ rating.
- Members of the National Test Prep Association, bound by its industry-leading code of ethics.
- An official ACT Affiliate tutoring organization: our tutors are allowed to take the real ACT (only about 50 tutoring organizations have this designation)
- Our average student increases 210 points on the SAT and 6 points on the ACT. Those who do more prep than our average student have even larger increases, with some increasing 300+ points on the SAT and 10+ points on the ACT.
Career tutors, not side hustle instructors
- Each of our tutors receives a minimum of 160 hours of training on the SAT/ACT before meeting with a student. As far as we know, we have the most extensive tutor training program in the U.S.
- Our SAT/ACT tutors are full-time with a salary and full benefits (health, dental, and vision insurance; 401(k); disability and life insurance; etc). Our rare career tutoring structure ensures that we attract and retain top talent.
- We have three tiers of tutors (Professional, Expert, and Executive). If you want the best of the best, our executive tutors tend to have 10 or more years of full-time SAT/ACT tutoring experience. They have seen it all and bring that experience to meet their students’ individual needs.
Customized, evidence-based curriculum
- We have top experts working with the best tools. For the SAT, for instance, we tried every single SAT platform provider in the world to find the best supplemental tests for our students (in addition to the real SAT practice tests from the College Board).
- To keep improving, students need both breadth and depth of content: they need access to practice all of the different question types that can be asked on the SAT and ACT, and they need an abundance of questions on each topic to master those topics. We provide both.
- We specialize in private tutoring with a curriculum designed for customization. We only teach and assign the topics that students are missing from their practice tests, which allows us to efficiently eliminate each student’s weaknesses without wasting time and resources on topics a student already knows.
Risk-free and comprehensive
- The best instruction still requires the best fit. If a student meets with a tutor and it is not a good fit (rare, but it happens), then we do not charge for that session, and we switch the student to a different tutor.
- While our specialty is private SAT and ACT tutoring, our mission is to empower students to succeed in life through education. To further this mission, we also offer tutoring for other subjects and tests: K-12 academic tutoring, AP exam tutoring, GRE tutoring, LSAT tutoring, MCAT tutoring, and more.
Convenience and Service
- We provide tutoring both online and in-person from our centers in Short Hills and Bernardsville, New Jersey (both locations have abundant, free, and easy-access parking).
- Our admin team is available 7 days per week to help families schedule in-person or virtual mock tests or tutoring.
- We aim to serve. If you ask, we will do our best to meet your needs.
