Online SAT Prep and College Essay Workshops
This summer, supercharge your test scores and applications
College acceptance can change your career and life trajectory, and strong performance on entrance exams and applications is a crucial indicator of your readiness for college. Unfortunately, private tutoring can quickly get expensive, and tips-n-tricks, cram-style test prep programs don’t develop the meaningful skills you need to apply, get accepted, and thrive.
That’s why we’re here.
Bridges to Readiness programs prepare you to excel on college entrance exams like the SAT as well as essays and personal statements that can make or break your college application. Not only will you improve your test scores, but you will gain access to a world of opportunities for life after graduation.
