About

Best in Class

Sentia tutors are the best in their field—a class to themselves. Experts at all things tutoring, testing, and admissions, they rise above the pack because they never lose sight of the most important part of tutoring: forming a personal connection. Our tutors aren’t just personable for manners’ sake. They understand that, in the absence of a driving intellectual passion, learning is just busywork. That’s why they work hard to understand what their students want to research, create, and innovate.  

We’re driven by your success. It’s why we do what we do. 

More than tutors, we have proven ourselves to be trusted mentors. Since 2008, we’ve partnered with families to help their students realize personal and educational goals. Every year, our clients continue to improve test scores, achieve research goals, and commit to the first-choice schools they have carefully selected as their “best fit” through our in-depth college counseling process. We love seeing our students end up where they belong.

Beyond Knowledge Lies Wisdom

The most successful students aren’t simply born smart. They invest in their education. Good grades and high test scores require hard work, time, dedication and focus (along with some confusion and grappling along the way). Sentia tutors inspire their students to take pride in striving for knowledge, and we partner with them in this endeavor. In an age where many rely on AI to generate quick results, we continue to believe in the intrinsic value of personalized learning experiences.

Defining Goals, Gaining Clarity

The best students and college candidates are more than test scores, weighted GPAs, and extracurriculars. Beyond the “perfect package,” they are interesting people. We keep this central truth in mind during everything we do, from test prep to research projects. Through our work together, we learn our students’ stories, allowing us to guide them as they envision their futures. The better we know our students, the more effectively we can help them represent themselves, helping them to earn the grades and admissions results they deserve.

Aspire and Achieve

It’s hard for young adults to see themselves the way others do. That’s where Sentia comes in. Our expert tutors and college advisors help students recognize their strengths and develop them through meaningful projects and essays. 

From test prep to college admissions, we manage every aspect of a student’s educational path so parents can rest easy and focus on being supportive in other meaningful ways.

Sentia, Your Trusted Partner

Sentia offers the best in the fields of test prep and college counseling:

Research

The Sentia research team analyzes every official administered SAT and ACT exam, coding and tracking even the smallest changes—including the recent launch of the first fully digital SAT. There is no test preparation company that can match our commitment to maintaining a preparation program with up-to-the-minute relevancy.

Analytics

We track every aspect of your child’s score improvements, continually fine-tuning the custom-tailored tutorial process to achieve maximum score improvement in minimal time.

Talent

Our directors, team leaders, and tutors are the best in the field. Recruited from across the United States, they undergo a rigorous training process before working with students. A near-perfect, or perfect, score on an exam is just the first step in a potential tutor’s recruitment process.

Materials

Sentia’s proprietary materials include continually updated vocabulary lists, as well as custom-made drills, exercises, and examples to enable students to improve exponentially. No other test preparation company can match the depth and quality of our personalized approach.

Diagnostic exams

We administer diagnostic exams under timed conditions in proctored examination rooms to track each student’s progress. For students with disabilities, we administer exams with extended time, computer usage, readers, or any other approved SSD accommodation.
