Who we are

Started by a student, for students.

RG Prep isn't another test prep factory. It's a one-on-one partnership built on trust, personality fit, and getting you the score you actually want—without the BS.

Our number one priority is the relationship between the tutor, the student, and the guardian(s).

We believe test prep shouldn't feel like a chore you dread. When you're comfortable with your tutor, you ask better questions, learn faster, and actually enjoy the process. That's when the scores follow.

But here's what makes us different:

Most test prep companies treat you like a data point. Download the app, watch the videos, drill the questions. Rinse and repeat until your eyes glaze over.

RG Prep is the opposite.

Our tutors will get to know you—how you think, how you learn, what trips you up, and what motivates you. Every session is tailored to your brain, not some algorithm's idea of "the average student."

And we don't just teach test tricks. We help you build actual skills: critical reading, logical reasoning, time management, and confidence under pressure. Skills that matter long after you've submitted your college apps.

The RG Prep Approach:

  • Honest feedback, not smoke and mirrors. If something isn't working, we change it.

  • Flexible pacing that respects your schedule, your mental bandwidth, and your life outside of testing.

  • Real mentorship. Our tutors are college students who've been exactly where you are. They remember what it feels like, and they’re here to guide you through it—not just hand you a playbook.

  • Results that matter. Our students don't just hit their target scores—they leave feeling more capable, more confident, and ready for what comes next.

Why choose private tutoring over an app?

Because you're not a dataset. Your learning style, your strengths, your struggles—they're unique. AI can't adapt to your mood on Tuesday after a rough day at school. It can't explain a concept five different ways until one finally clicks. And it definitely can't celebrate with you when you nail that English section.

We can.

If you want test prep that actually feels human—and gets results—let's talk.
