Educational Services
Prep Company
Overview
Educational Services has been a family-owned fixture on the Main Line since 1969, making it one of the longest-running test prep operations in the area. They take a strictly one-to-one approach -- no group classes -- and match each student with an instructor whose teaching style fits their needs.
They cover a wide range of tests: SAT, ACT, PSAT, HSPT, ISEE, SSAT, and even graduate-level exams like the GRE. Beyond test prep, they offer academic tutoring, executive function coaching, college essay help, and math-readiness classes. They also have specific services for students with testing accommodations.
ES backs their work with a performance guarantee: 100-200 points on the SAT and 4-6 points on the ACT, depending on the package. Scheduling is remarkably flexible -- they are open 7 days a week, 9am to 9pm, and students book one week at a time, choosing a different slot each session. Multiple local "Best Of" awards confirm their standing in the community. Free consultations are available at 610-687-0627.
