Through a skills-based approach to preparing students for the SAT and ACT, Academic Approach teaches beyond the test, empowering students and educators from all backgrounds to grow scores, skills, and confidence both on and beyond standardized tests.
Our Mission
Academic Approach began with a focused mission: to mentor students while building their skills and confidence as they fill in essential gaps in curriculum that prevent them from being fully successful both on the test and in the classroom. Over the years, Academic Approach has developed instructional content, services, and staff to reach thousands of students in the Chicagoland, New York City, and Boston areas, raising scores, growing skills, and opening doors to higher education.
With our growing staff of dedicated, high-quality educators, Academic Approach continues to deliver both highly customized one-on-one tutoring programs for students that provide teachers with assessments and instructional services that raise student achievement.
