Expedited, intensive one-on-one tutoring for families in crunch time—looming test dates, slipping grades, or finals pressure. Sessions typically start within a few days.
Sometimes the situation isn't routine. A test date arrived faster than expected. A class is slipping six weeks before finals. A deadline is bearing down and there's no time for a four-month plan.
That's what the Score Boost Sprintis for: a structured, expedited, high-intensity pathway built specifically for time-pressed families. Same elite tutors, same one-on-one quality you'd get on a standard plan—just engineered to start fast and move fast.
Every Sprint is private, one-on-one, and priced at a flat $225/hour—a deliberate premium that reflects the expedited scheduling and dedicated tutor time these situations require. Choose the tier that fits your window.
The focused, last-stretch option. Best for students within roughly two weeksof a test date who need concentrated work on high-impact strategies and "must-know" content.

The full crisis-recovery pathway. Best for deeper situations within roughly three to four weeks of a test date—a grade to rescue, more ground to cover, or a multi-week intensive run-up to a major exam.

Not every crisis is a test. When a class is slipping and finals are weeks away, the Grade Rescue Sprint brings the same expedited, intensive one-on-one support to subject coursework—math, science, English, history, and AP-level material.
Same flat $225/hour, same start typically within a few days, available as a 4-hour ($900) or 10-hour ($2,250)intensive depending on how much ground there is to recover. It's designed for situations where a major grade, test, or finals deadline is within roughly two to four weeks. We build a concrete plan around the grade you're trying to save and the time you have left.
The Sprint is a premium, limited pathway. Because it requires us to clear tutor calendars and commit intensive hours on short notice, it is priced above standard tutoring and offered to a limited number of families at any given time. If we can take your case, we'll tell you immediately—and just as honestly if a different approach would serve your student better.
Yes. The Score Boost Sprint is built specifically for last-minute and crisis situations, with sessions typically beginning within a few days.

The 4-hour Express is designed for students within roughly two weeks of a test date; the 10-hour Intensive suits a slightly longer window of about three to four weeks. If your timeline is tighter or longer, contact us and we'll advise honestly.
