What Makes Us Different
1.One-Stop Shop
The phrase “one-stop shop” is overdone, perhaps, but that’s exactly what we are — a family-owned education group of tutors and consultants dedicated to providing our families with comprehensive educational support.
That means you can come to us for reading/writing support in 5th grade, come back for TJ prep and private school admissions in 8th, continue on during high school for SAT and academic support (remotely, if you’re off to boarding school), and then work with one of our trained college counselors for your application essays.
There’s nothing more rewarding for us than to see students through their academic journey, and we’re grateful to have helped hundreds of students achieve their goals.
2. Personal Attention + Mentorship
When we book 1:1 sessions with students, we mean what we say — one student, one instructor. We’re focused on our students throughout, tracking learning styles, academic and extracurricular interests, and overall improvement (we always start our sessions by checking grades and test scores). We also follow up each session with feedback which will be sent directly to parents.
Above all, we care about student-instructor chemistry, which is the key to improvement and mentorship. It’s why we always book one session first to ensure it’s a good match for both sides.
3. Full-Time Instructors + Staff
No revolving door here — unlike other tutoring centers, we don’t hire seasonal instructors (i.e. high school and college students). All of our instructors have extensive teaching experience and are trained to align with Principia’s teaching and communication standards; we also hire full-time instructors and curriculum designers to ensure we can provide consistency and up-to-date curriculums for our students. Our instructors often work with the same student from Algebra 1 all the way through multivariable calculus, for example, and we’ve found it’s incredibly effective and efficient to be able to offer that consistency.
4. Flexibility + Ease
Some education companies seem to expect a Faustian bargain (500 hours?!) to lock you in for the long-term. Not Principia — once your account is set up with us, we’ll bill your card at the end of the month for that month’s session, and you can track all invoices through your account.
5. Results-Oriented
We're proud of our track record — our academic students routinely raise their grades a full letter grade, our test prep students improve an average of 270+ points on the SAT and 5+ points on the ACT, and over 90% of our college consulting students are accepted to one of their top three choices. The proof? We’ve grown entirely through word-of-mouth, and continue to rely on happy parents and students to grow our business organically.
Dear parents and students — thanks for the love!
