GroupSmart® is our secret sauce.
We’ve learned from our experience.
After 50,000+ hours of test prep and tutoring, we know it’s critical that students feel comfortable in their learning environment.
Some students find reading comprehension challenging
Some students love math
Some students are okay with both
Some students love critical reading
Some students find math challenging
Some students thrive on both
Why would we throw all these students with different strengths and challenges together in the same class?
We don’t. And we won’t. This is what makes us unique.
We don’t want to see students bored, and we don’t want to see students embarrassed. We want to see students thrive. Our GroupSmart® algorithm makes this possible.

How GroupSmart® works
We’ve crunched all the data we’ve gathered over the years to create an algorithm that strategically groups students for the best outcomes. When you enroll your student, we will ask a number of questions. The answers serve as inputs for our GroupSmart® (patent pending) algorithm.
Together with machine learning, the algorithm determines the best grouping for math and reading for your student. The magic sweet spot is one in which students are challenged by their classmates, yet are comfortable enough to participate in class and ask questions without feeling inadequate.
More details please…
On our registration form, you will select all times your student is available to attend class. Then, you will receive instructions for your student to take an online proctored diagnostic test (a full-length SAT or ACT, depending on the course you choose). About a week before classes start, we create and publish your student’s exact class schedule, which is based on test scores and student availability, as well as other information.
Students are in class with others of similar strengths and challenges. They confidently ask questions and learn from each other’s queries. No other test prep company does this.
