One-on-One Tutoring for Lifelong Success

From acing that tough middle school math class to receiving that dream ACT/SAT score, our in-person and virtual personalized tutoring programs support students through every major educational milestone.

Middle School

No matter the high school entrance exam acronym your middle schooler is preparing for (HSPT, ISEE, SSAT, SHSAT, or the CPS Admissions Test), our tutoring will boost your student’s admission chances.

Academic

The most customizable of all of our customized tutoring services, academic tutoring helps students achieve their goals, whether it’s getting through a challenging course, preparing for finals, or raising their GPA.

AP

Don’t let the chance to earn college credit pass your student by! Advanced Placement (AP) tutoring will help your student master course content and bring home those coveted 5s on their AP exams.

ACT/SAT

Our showstopper. Our bread and butter. Our award-winning ACT/SAT tutoring gets results because, quite simply, no one knows how to create data-driven, personalized, skills-based instruction like we do.

It's the Approach that Matters Most

We don’t just prep students for exams here at Academic Approach—we’re in the business of prepping them for life.

Our students soak up more than facts and figures; they master the art of discovery. They cultivate self-belief, forge resilience, and learn the magic of transforming knowledge into real-world applications.

With our helping hand, they’re not just acing exams—they’re morphing into relentless knowledge seekers. We’re not just about passing the test; we’re about crafting lifelong learners.

Let’s get started on this journey together, shall we?

Transformations Told Firsthand

These testimonials are proof of the impact of our commitment to Teaching Beyond the Test™ and the meaningful relationships we build with each student and their family.

My tutor was more than just a weekly appointment. He really listened, and always asked how my basketball team was doing. He cared. He made what could have been a boring experience into something I looked forward to each week.

"We do not have enough words to express our appreciation for the marvelous team at Academic Approach. They provided excellent feedback, identified strengths and weaknesses, gave advice on courses, and offered career strategy for our sons."

"I loved my tutor. Not only did I get the score I wanted, but Academic Approach had a way of teaching that made sense to me. I had several friends who worked with the Approach, and they all said the same thing: they made the material easy to understand for each of us, even though we learn differently."

Working with Academic Approach was a nice confidence builder for our daughter. It helped her realize that with a little guidance and a little push in the right direction, you can accomplish what you set your mind to.
