College Prep draws students from more than a hundred middle schools to its Broadway campus in Rockridge, and for many of them the first year is a real step up. Discussion-based classes, problem-first math and three required lab sciences ask students to think independently from day one.
Our UC Berkeley tutors help College Prep students work through challenging problem sets, write and revise analytical essays and build the study habits a demanding schedule requires. Students who are used to a more traditional middle school math class often find a tutor especially helpful during the first semester.
Applying to College Prep
College Prep asks 9th-grade applicants for either the ISEE or the SSAT, with no preference between them, and testing should be complete by early February. We offer one-on-one ISEE and SSAT prep that starts with a diagnostic and builds from there.
Tell us about your student, whether they’re applying or already enrolled, and we’ll find the right tutor.
