Initial Consultation
At A+, our goal is to create an instructional program individualized to meet your student’s specific support, enrichment, or test prep needs. During the initial consultation, we ask about your student’s learning needs, personality, strengths, interests, schedule, and any other relevant information we need to best advise you about how to move forward.
Diagnostic Testing
We start every program with diagnostic testing to identify the specific areas in which your student needs support or enrichment. In the case of SAT/ACT test prep, this also gives us insight into which test, the SAT or the ACT, is a better fit for your student’s strengths.
Cognitive Assessment with Mindprint
Our partnership with Mindprint is a critical component of every test prep program. This cognitive assessment gives our tutors and your student key insights into how your student learns, applicable test prep strategies, and other tools for providing your student with the best possible instructional program.
Curriculum Design
Based on the information you provide during our intake, your student’s diagnostic scores, any other testing reports or documentation you provide, and the Mindprint report, we design an individualized program of instruction. Our goal with every program is to help each student achieve her educational potential.
Tutor Assignment
After we learn about your student’s personality, learning needs, and schedule, we will match him with one of our world class tutors. Our tutors are all highly vetted and trained, each having received top scores in test prep and years of experience with a wide range of subjects, grades, and student support needs.
Ongoing Monitoring
Our goal is to keep you informed and up-to-date about your student’s progress. You will receive lesson notes after every tutoring session. We will also connect with you regularly, and use both diagnostic testing and school grade reports to ensure we are providing the support or enrichment your student needs to succeed.

Angela Jay2024-02-15Best Decision Ever! A+ Tutoring proved to be a transformative experience for me, surpassing all my expectations. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend A+ Tutoring to any parent or guardian seeking academic improvement and aiming to unlock their child’s full potential. Prior to selecting A+, I carefully researched and evaluated other services. My goals were twofold: to prepare my son for the standardized testing required for preparatory school and college applications, and to enhance his time management skills and study habits. Mr. John’s personalized approach resonated with my son’s personality and specific learning needs. Despite my son’s demanding sports schedule, Mr. John was incredibly flexible and accommodating. The sessions were comprehensive, combining instruction, engaging conversations, and homework assignments to reinforce existing concepts and introduce new ones in advanced math, English, and science. The tangible outcomes were apparent: not only did my son’s grades improve by at least one grade level, but he also secured early admission to prep school! Moreover, I observed a significant boost in his confidence and overall demeanor. I am deeply grateful to Mr. John, Ms. Dorothea, and Mr. Dan for their exceptional dedication and support. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that we felt fully supported throughout the process. Their contributions have made a profound impact on my son’s academic journey, maximizing the value of my investment.

Leah Reinhard Peshek2023-11-15I just wanted to thank A+ for helping my son achieve his goals. He worked with 2 instructors Andrew and Barbara for both the SAT and AP exams. Whatever they did it was magic! Not only did he get the results he wanted- he surpassed them. It was hands-off for me, he scheduled and communicated with his instructors on his own, which taught him responsibility and accountability. Yet, their lesson follow-up emails kept me in the loop. I can’t recommend them any more highly. If you decide to use them you won’t be disappointed, you will see a student who is better prepared for their studies as well as any tests they choose to take- they even seem more mature and confident. A+ I’m giving you an A+ Thank you so much, Leah Reinhard.
Rebekka Hartwell2023-10-28We had a great experience with A+ Test Prep and Tutoring. I appreciated that the tutor tailored the sessions around our daughter's needs and worked with her strengths. I can definitely recommend this program to anyone needing some extra support.
Rhiannon Kelly2023-08-31My son needed assistance preparing for an exam. We reached out to A+ test prep and they were wonderful. They were able to schedule him for tutoring without an delays. Their knowledge, assistance and guidance speaks volumes. A+ exceeded all outlets expectations. Thank you
Andrea Emmons2023-07-06The tutors were terrific, very thoughtful and really understood my child's needs in terms of studying. The hours worked well with our schedule and the homework assigned was super helpful!
V Penz2023-06-22A+ Test Prep provided superior tutoring custom-tailored to meet my son’s specific needs and learning style. His SAT score increased by 160 points with 12 hours of tutoring!!! That put him well-within range for all of the schools to which he is applying. A+ truly listened to make sure they exceeded our expectations starting with matching our son with Rob. He is an experienced tutor who set goals and developed a specialized plan. Rob taught clear, structured, organized lessons, helped my son plan his practice and homework, and taught test stress-management and relaxation techniques. These lessons also helped fill-in gaps from the pandemic. The writing, reading and math lessons and strategies Rob taught gave Dylan a strong foundation of critical-thinking skills which will serve him well in college, the work-force, and beyond. A+ staff, including Rob, gave prompt, detailed and insightful feedback after each session. You will get ENORMOUS value for your financial investment with A+. I investigated 6 other tutoring companies and am confident A+ was the best for tailoring their tutoring to a program that best fit my son’s learning style!!
Megan Gasper2023-05-26This tutoring program literally changed my daughters test scores by 1000 points, and they were so helpful, and communicative with me the entire time. I really recommend them for every student, whether they are trying to make their test scores better, or make their scores above excellent
Zarah Adams2023-05-04We chose A+ for Preparation to help our daughter prepare for college entrance exams. May daughter had Pam for the verbal portion of the exam. Pam was amazing! She asked about extra-curricular activities and demonstrated genuine interest in my daughter's role as a student in and outside of the classroom. Pam also noted how important these activities are to colleges. John was the tutor for math and science. He helped my daughter feel comfortable and confident in her skills. My daughter's ACT composite score went up 5 points! I would highly recommend A+ for Test Preparation!
