ABOUT US
Our students
achieve the score gains of the most expensive boutique test prep firms
in 65% of the time & at significantly less cost
because of our DATA efficiencies & PROPRIETARY program.
Our Difference
We empower live teaching with:
Technology that collects tremendous quantities of data to make test prep as efficient as possible – pinpointing what skills a student, school – or even district – needs to master for outsized score gains.
A program that
provides simple, visual cues that help students identify and perform these skills.
relies on our analysis of official sample tests and evolves with trends in the tests themselves.
involves continual diagnostic analysis of this material for a personalized teaching focus.
OUR FOUNDERS
Cofounders Dr. Ashleigh Barnes & Jonathan Andrew are a wife-husband team of former professors who have applied their research and teaching backgrounds to this venture. Jonathan received a science degree from Harvard College and a Master of Laws degree from Harvard Law. Ashleigh holds a JD, a PhD and a Master of Laws degree, and continues to teach at the University of Florida’s Law and Business schools.
OUR TutorS
Each of our tutors is highly qualified and has graduated from competitive institutions. But that alone would be insufficient for the program-wide success we expect. Each of our tutors undergoes an intensive ACT and SAT tutor training program. But that’s just the beginning. For as long as they work with University Select, each tutor participates in an ongoing mentorship program to brainstorm student lesson plans. Finally, not only are our tutors well qualified and well trained - they are simply wonderful teachers and people.
TESTIMONIALS
“I worked with one of University Select’s tutors during my junior year. Using data analysis of my sophomore year PSAT, I was able to focus on the question types that would represent the biggest score gains. I felt thoroughly prepared, and the methods I learned enabled me to perform at my best.”
“I took the Writing & Math Boot Camp and my scored moved up by 100 points! I am thrilled because this means that after this course I received the highest level of Bright Futures scholarship. Most tutoring places just offer tricks, but University Select helped me understand the skills you are asked to perform on test day!”
