Embrace Tutoring and Educational Services Philadelphia
Prep Company
Overview
What sets Embrace Tutoring apart from most test prep companies is their process: they start with academic coaching and college planning before ever matching a student with a tutor. Based in Bryn Mawr, PA, Embrace connects families with vetted, experienced educators for one-on-one lessons across a wide range of subjects, including ACT and SAT prep, math, science, languages, English, history, reading, writing, ESL, and special needs support.
Beyond private tutoring, Embrace offers college admissions advising, diagnostic exams, review sessions, candidacy building, and group ACT/SAT classes. They only hire experienced classroom instructors who have a proven track record, and they emphasize finding the right tutor-student fit. All tutoring hours can be transferred between subjects and even between siblings, with bulk discounts on larger packages.
Students and parents also get access to ongoing review sessions and academic webinars. The organization takes a comprehensive approach, providing mentoring and support throughout the entire academic journey rather than just focusing on one test or subject.

Students report significant PSAT and SAT score improvements, better test-taking strategies, and improved skills in reading, writing, and math, with several noting that the personalized attention to their specific problem areas was especially valuable.
