GameFace Tutoring (Wayne)
Prep Company
Overview
GameFace Tutoring takes a refreshingly casual approach to test prep. Founded in 2007 by Tim McKenna, a West Chester-trained teacher, the company deliberately keeps its staff small and its vibe light -- the idea being that students get better results when tutoring does not feel like punishment.
They operate out of two locations: a main office on North Wayne Avenue in Wayne and a second spot in Havertown. The staff is intentionally tight-knit, so everyone knows each other and students get a consistent, personal experience.
GameFace focuses on math and test prep, and they are clearly rooted in the local community -- they advertise in the Radnor Lacrosse program and are actively building out their Havertown presence. They even run a referral program offering $125 for bringing in new Havertown clients. It is a smaller, personality-driven operation rather than a big test prep chain, which appeals to families looking for something more relaxed and personal.
What Parents Are Saying
Reviewers consistently praise GameFace Tutoring for its relaxed, teen-friendly atmosphere and the personal connection tutors build with students. Parents repeatedly note that their children actually enjoy going to tutoring, that material is explained more clearly than at school, and that scheduling flexibility around sports and activities is excellent. Multiple families have sent all of their children to GameFace over many years, citing sustained quality and meaningful grade improvements.
