RK Test Prep
Prep Company
Overview
Rick, the founder of RK Test Prep, is a Princeton alumnus who has logged over 20,000 hours tutoring more than 2,000 students for the SAT and ACT. He still takes the exams himself to stay current with the format, consistently scoring in the 99th+ percentile. That hands-on expertise drives the curriculum, which he continuously revises based on real results.
Based in West Chester, PA with a new office opening in Newtown, PA in January 2026, RK Test Prep offers one-on-one and small group SAT, PSAT, and ACT preparation. Small group classes are kept to just 2-6 students for personal attention. Both in-person and online tutoring are available, plus an online video course for self-paced study.
The numbers are solid: students see an average SAT score increase of 138 points and an average ACT increase of 3.5 points, with many improving by 5 to 7 points. Rick sends detailed session recaps to parents and creates individualized lesson plans for each student. In 2025 alone, the team worked with over 100 students from schools across the greater Philadelphia, Main Line, Delaware, and Chester County areas.
What Parents Are Saying
Reviewers overwhelmingly praise Rick for his effective strategies, calm teaching manner, and ability to build student confidence, with parents reporting SAT score increases of 60 to 260 points. Multiple reviewers highlight his personalized approach, professional session recaps, flexibility with scheduling (including online sessions), and the fact that many students achieved their target scores on the first attempt.
