• Detailed Information

  • At its heart, Aspire is committed to securing academic success for our students. Our number one priority is serving each student’s long-term best interests; we take care throughout the tutoring process to make sure we are meeting your student’s needs. Our diverse team of tutors provides academic support in a wide range of subjects for students of all ages and learning levels; many are trained and experienced in working with ADD/ADHD, executive functioning issues, memory and processing challenges, and other learning differences.

    Test Prep

    The Aspire difference is especially felt with Test Prep. Our team equips students with the test-taking strategies, time-management skills, and academic tools they need most. Our team will analyze your student’s initial ACT or SAT test to find exactly which concepts to prioritize in order to match you with the best tutor and maximize your score. Higher scores on the ACT and SAT can mean the difference between merely going to college and getting into that dream university. Our students typically improve between 100 and 250 points on the SAT and 3 to 6 points on the ACT. Just this past summer, Diya increased her SAT score from an 820 to a 1320!

    Scholarships

    We award tutoring scholarships on a sliding fee scale based on financial need. We are a nonprofit organization, so our commitment is to our students rather than a profit margin. We believe that all children deserve to have equitable access to academic support.

Scholarships are limited and fundraising is an ongoing process, but reaching out for aid is a vital step.
