About

Thinque Prep is the only educational consulting firm to have a tutor who has achieved both a perfect 1600 the SAT and a perfect 36 on the ACT. Please see our pictures for proof! Thinque Prep specializes in the personalized mentorship of students and their families through the entire pre-college process. We have experts in the SAT, ACT, SSAT, ISEE, AP exams, and college admissions. With so many recent changes to college admissions process -- standardized tests, financial aid, the application process -- the educational landscape has never been more competitive or confusing. We are here from the first summer program to the last college acceptance letter. Our experts even provide support for students who need pre-professional support in college. We don't just "tutor," just "prepare students for tests," or just "edit essays." We prepare students to become contributing members of society. We closely work with students in three categories -- academic inquiry, personal development, and holistic educational planning. There's nothing as satisfying as helping a young person figure out how to put their best foot forward. It's never too early to start thinking about college, so give us a call for a complimentary consultation today!

Thinque Prep was an amazing asset to my family and I. This was my first child and I was extremely confused with the all the rules and requirements that colleges have these days. I met with Joyee and he helped clarify everything. He walked me through a timeline for testing, course selection. He help set up my son for a proper testing schedule. We talked through colleges in depth. He connected me with a world class research opportunity for my son. He also hosted a essay workshop over the summer where he invited actual college representatives to work with the students. They read through his essays and gave him constructive criticism. I can't thank him enough for all his help, and we will be continuing to use his services -- in both test preparation and college guidance -- for all my children.

We were happy to have met Joyee and his team. They were able to get us in last minute for a consultation and a first lesson and during that meeting my son replied and said 'this guy really knows his stuff.' I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

My son went to Joyee for about a month for ACT prep. He thought Joyee knows ACT inside out! Joyee is a non nonsense guy and always straight to the point. He felt the sessions with Joyee were always very productive. After one month sessions with Joyee my son's ACT score went up 6 points! We are already planning to send our younger son to Joyee in a few years. Thank you, Joyee!
