The College Prep Difference
Not your typical test prep!
Experience personalized test prep!
We are a boutique college prep company that specializes in college entrance exams. Here’s how our programs are different:
Expert instruction
All classes are taught by Megan Dorsey, a nationally recognized test prep expert. You are NOT getting a college kid trained to teach from a workbook or a school teacher looking to pick up extra cash by tutoring. Megan knows the exams, how to improve scores, and how to effectively teach teens.
Class structure that mirrors the test
Each prep class or tutoring session combines reading, writing, math, (science for ACT), and test taking strategies. The ACT & SAT demand students switch from one subject to another in a matter of seconds; we do the same.
Intentional time for practice and mastery
We understand learning theory and brain science (and everyday experience with students) and we know that learning the material is not enough. Students must have time to absorb, practice, and master the content. This is why our traditional classes and tutoring typically meet once per week and why even our quick cram classes allow a couple of weeks of practice prior to the actual exam.
Personalized feedback from a national expert
All course materials were developed and revised by College Prep’s founder, Megan Dorsey, a nationally recognized expert in the field of test preparation. Megan combines over 25 years of test prep experience and graduate work in testing, psychology, and education to offer a program that delivers results. Megan teaches ALL courses and offers open Q&A sessions for students to receive personalized help.
Exclusive focus on the ACT, SAT & PSAT
We don’t offer classes for every exam under the sun. We specialize so you can get focused, up to date, expert help for the test you need.
Exclusive use of official test materials
The ACT & SAT / PSAT demand attention to the slightest detail. Companies that use mock exams written by their corporate publishing departments are giving you the testing equivalent of a knock-off handbag. We rely on official tests so our students practice with authentic materials before taking the real exam.
In-person classes and tutoring
All in-person work must take place in the Sugar Land / West Houston area. Megan is available for in-person tutoring in Fort Bend, Missouri City, Katy, Bellaire, Memorial, and similar west Houston locations. If you live outside the in-person zone, Megan is happy to work with you by Zoom.
