Why Enhanced Prep?
Many tutoring companies claim that they can help students increase their test scores, but very few can support those claims and almost none of them focus on a student's ultimate goal - getting into their dream school.

We match students with the right tutor who can help them study for a biology test one day and prep for their upcoming college entrance exam the next.
