We know the game of competitive college admissions, and we help our students perform at the top 1% of their abilities

One Percent Prep

We take on fewer students so that we can focus on their personalized progression

We’ve noticed that large tutoring companies rely on a well known brand name but often can’t deliver the individualized attention that students need at the most critical point in their academic journey. As a boutique firm, One Percent Prep does not have to roll out some generic program – students will have the full attention of Ivy League graduates who have proven they know what it takes to get into the best colleges in the world. Whether you need help studying for the SAT or nailing down the last edits on your college essays — we got you covered.

Our Services

Standardized Test Prep

We use data analysis tools that we have developed in-house to create objectively optimal plans of attack for our students. This means we don’t waste time covering topics with low return-on-time. Additionally, all of our tutors are Ivy League educated — we think it is important that our students are guided by tutors that have already proven they are capable of navigating the process. Lastly, our founders play an active role in all student journeys, ensuring a smooth and successful outcome.

College Essays

College essays are a critical part of the academic process. While standardized test scores are important, they are table stakes, and extracurriculars are commoditized. The only component of the application where students can truly differentiate themselves in a highly competitive process is the essay. We are highly experienced at helping students extract what is unique about their journey and articulating it in a compelling way.
