Test Prep Gurus is committed to offering our people opportunities for growth, both professionally and personally. We’ll ask a lot from you and we’ll provide a lot in return. If you're interested in working with a talented and passionate team, and want to effect positive change in the world through your work, then we would love to hear from you.

Rules we work by:

1. Our clients will walk over hot coals to help their child reach their future goals. So will we.

2. Test prep isn't a cost. It's an investment.

3. Standardized exams tell us little of value about an individual -- the scores are simply a means to reach his or her long term goals.

4. Our secret sauce is “D.I.G.”

   • Deliberate Practice

   • Intrinsic Motivation

   • Growth Mindset

5. The test prep process has the power to change students’ lives – the colleges they are admitted to, the scholarships they win, and what they perceive they are capable of in the future.

Who We Are:

• Nothing is standardized, each program is unique. We customize each program to more effectively help students achieve their goals.

• First guide the student to understand why we are doing what we are doing. The what, how, and when, come after.

• We know that good grades or intelligence don't always correlate with high starting scores on these exams. Each student's starting score is just a jumping off point.

• Everything we do is structured to achieve a result: the homework, practice tests, schedule, instructor pairing, partner communication, and so on, down the last little detail.

• We utilize a “takes a village approach” to ensure student-success. Every part of the team matters, the director, the instructors, the support staff, the parents, and the counselor.

• Bootcamps aren’t healthy (or very effective). If that's your thing, we probably aren't a good fit for you.

• We take the time to learn about each family and student.

• Choosing a test prep firm is similar to hiring a law firm. Quality and experience make the difference between a mediocre experience and an exceptional one.

• We don't just talk about growth mindset. We live it.

• The test prep process, when properly executed, is about much more than increasing a score. It’s about admission to a selective right-fit college, winning scholarships, increasing opportunities for the future, and inspiring students to push the boundaries of what they believe is possible.

Who We are Not:

• If the cram school model sounds appealing, you won’t find it here.

• We don’t teach to a test. We go much deeper than that. Over time it becomes mentoring, coaching, and pushing students to grow beyond their perceived barriers and flourish.

• We are not tutors. We are instructors.

• We don’t punch time cards. Schedules are flexible and fluid so that we can meet students and clients on their time.

• We aren’t instructional mercenaries. This is a passion.
