Our
focus at Bright Future Academy continues to be one-on-one in-home tutoring
for all academic subjects.
Realizing that preparing
for a PSAT, SAT or ACT test is vital in order to attain a high
score, (and get into an excellent college) we went out in the
marketplace and searched for a company that shares the same
vision we do – excellence in tutoring.
We are proud to be partners
with PrepMe, an innovative industry leader
in standardized test prep, commited to providing ONLINE test
prep for the PSAT, SAT and ACT exams.
Their
approach to test prep is similar to our approach to tutoring.
PrepMe has the technology to customize the test prep to fit
each student’s needs. Strong in math but need help with
the writing? No problem! Your student can gear their sessions
with their tutor to focus on just the written essay. Terrible
at math but an excellent writer? Easy! Your student can use
their prep time to review and sharpen their math skills.
Thanks to
our relationship with the founders of PrepMe, we have been able
to secure a special gift for all of our students and web site
visitors. Simply fill out the link below and a PrepMe Representative
will personally walk you through a demo of their course, and

*Our
competitors' score increase claims are not based on real-SAT
to real-SAT data. According to them, their score increase
data comes from diagnostic-SAT to real-SAT increases. These
diagnostic tests can often be misleading as they are not written
by the real writers of the SAT: ETS.
- SAT
Prep Books—An SAT prep book often has great content
at an extremely low price, but it does not adapt to a student's
needs and cannot answer individual questions. Rarely are
a book's authors recent SAT-takers and they are rarely experts
in the test they are writing for.
- Traditional
Classroom SAT Prep Courses—Classroom SAT prep courses
often have solid curricula and affordable prices, but they
do not give individual attention to every student. The students
who need the most help and the student closest to a perfect
score have to go at the same pace, so everyone loses. Furthermore,
in order to have classes all over the country, a course
cannot set very high standards for its teachers, and these
less-than perfect teachers frequently have to teach GRE,
LSAT, MCAT and other test prep courses.
- The
PrepMe Advantage—Only PrepMe has the fantastic content
and expertise of a well-researched book combined with the
individual attention and adaptability of a private tutor.
No other SAT prep method has our adaptive technology either.
