Our story
since 2018
After graduating high school, our founder Michael Gao started tutoring younger friends. He realized that high school was needlessly stressful; with a little 1-1 mentorship from an empathetic, smart tutor, school and the admissions process could actually be fun.
Now, he leads a growing team of Ivy League tutors. Michael graduated with a 4.0 GPA, scored a 36 on his ACT, 1560 on his SAT, and was admitted into schools like Columbia, Wharton, and Brown. His other tutors all go to top schools and scored in the 99th percentile on their admissions tests.
Our passion is passing down the tips, tricks, and lessons we learned when we successfully navigated high school and the admissions process
