ACADEMY OVERVIEW
Masterprep Academy is a premier provider of after-school classes and tutoring services. We specialize in preparing students to score well on standardized tests (ACT, SAT, SSAT, PSAT, SAT Subject, ISEE, USABO, USNCO, AP Tests), but we also support student's academic progress by offering GPA Management and College Admission Counseling services.
The secret to our success is largely due to our:
Small class sizes! We cap our class size at 6 students in order to ensure individualized attention and assistance for each student.
Proprietary curriculum! We develop our own teaching materials for many of our courses, ensuring our instruction is keeping up with changes to local school district curriculum, as well as with changes to standardized test structure and content.
Track record of success! We only hire teachers who have demonstrated an ability to do well on standardized tests, along with a track record of successfully teaching students how to score well on standardized tests.
We seek highly motivated individuals to join our team of educators, administrators, and counselors. Successful candidates should be comfortable working in a fast-paced learning environment. This is an excellent opportunity for qualified candidates looking to join a team of hard-working, proactive, positive, and successful educators.
