Center for Educational Services
Prep Company
Overview
Unlike most test prep outfits, Center for Educational Services (CES) in Paoli, PA specializes in students with learning challenges like ADHD, dyslexia, and executive functioning difficulties. That makes them a standout option for families who need more than a cookie-cutter SAT course.
Every tutor on staff holds at least a master's degree, and the center is led by a doctorate-level director. Their certified reading specialists are trained in evidence-based interventions, which means they bring clinical-level expertise to reading, writing, and language arts instruction.
Beyond test prep, CES offers a wide range of academic support: math tutoring, study and organizational skills coaching, executive functioning coaching for both students and adults, college essay help, and even social skills tutoring. Online tutoring is available as well. They operate from multiple locations and have an active intake process for new clients.
For families whose kids learn differently, CES is worth a close look. Their SAT prep sits within a broader mission of academic support, so students get preparation that's tailored to how they actually learn.
