Crimson Review
Prep Company
Overview
With over three decades in the test prep game, Crimson Review has become a go-to for Main Line families looking for serious SAT and ACT score gains. Most students improve by 150+ points on the SAT, with many jumping more than 200, and the company has produced numerous perfect scores over the years.
They offer group classes and one-on-one sessions for SAT, ACT, and ISEE/SSAT/HSPT, with two locations in Wayne and Malvern. Every tutor on staff scored at the top of the range on their own standardized tests, and they go through ongoing training on Crimson Review's proprietary methods. If a student needs to switch instructors or work around vacation, the transition is seamless.
Families come from all over the area -- Radnor, Newtown Square, West Chester, Chester Springs, Havertown, and Wallingford. Beyond test prep, they also help with college essays. Their alumni have been accepted at all the Ivy League schools and the most selective universities in the country. Parent testimonials frequently mention 200-300 point SAT improvements and praise the organized, professional experience.
