We coach the test like a person — not like a content library.

IvyStrides was started by tutors who'd been teaching test prep for two decades and were tired of watching the industry drift toward content libraries, gamified apps, and dashboards that nobody actually opens.

We took the parts that worked — small cohorts, live teaching, a tutor who actually knows your kid — and we built a portal around them. Practice tests that mirror Bluebook and the Enhanced ACT. Recordings of every session. Direct chat between tutors and students. None of the rest.

The numbers are real: 90% of our SAT students gain 200+ points. 90% of our ACT students gain 4+ composite points. 90% of our AP students score 4 or 5. We track them because if they slip, we want to know first.

If you want to talk to a person before signing up, that's what the free 30-minute consultation is for. We send a real tutor, not a sales rep.
