Program Overview

Mission

Sharp leverages technology to democratize access to effective test prep, providing personalized instruction and expert tutoring at a price any family or school can afford. Our mission is to empower every student to realize their academic potential, regardless of background or learning style.

Program Description

Sharp is a mobile and web-based SAT prep platform that adapts to each student's level from the first question. It identifies the specific skills holding a student's score back, delivers targeted practice using expert-crafted questions, and provides step-by-step explanations through an AI tutor when students get stuck. For students working with a tutor or college counselor, Sharp gives them access to the student's data so they can monitor progress, review mistakes, and provide targeted instruction.
