I'm Waleed, I founded LessonOrca. I scored a 1570 on the SAT and a 35 on the ACT, and I built the company around one rule: every tutor we hire has to have scored at least 1500 on the SAT or 34 on the ACT. No exceptions, no general tutors who also do test prep. Four tutors. I do the intake on every student myself and I pick who they work with, so you're not getting matched by an algorithm. How it works. Lesson one is a diagnostic. We score every skill separately so we find the exact question types costing points, and you get that breakdown in writing. Then it's the same weekly slot with the same tutor, working their actual mistakes, not a generic curriculum. Between lessons they get practice built around their specific gaps on software we built, plus they can reach their tutor between lessons so they're not stuck on a question until next Thursday. Pricing, so you don't have to ask. $499/month is one lesson a week. $899/month is two a week. That's what I'd recommend if the test is under 30 days out. 15% off if you pay six months up front. Payment is before the first lesson. If the first lesson isn't worth it, I refund it. No argument. Everything is online, so it doesn't matter where you are. Tell me your test date and where they're scoring now and I'll tell you honestly what I'd do. If we're not the right fit I'll say so.See more

Katie Goldberg says, "Mr. Nevels was absolutely fantastic! My daughter would not have passed chemistry without him. We were working with another Tutor who became ill and Mr. Nevels immediately made time for us at the last minute during finals. Then he arranged another session for us when he was out of town! We were really happy with the current tutor we had but after the first session with Mr. Nevels my daughter said he was even more helpful. We are so grateful for him! We have also had a really fantastic experience with EduRaptor as a whole. When our first tutor ( who was helping with both chemistry and math) became ill, I received personal text messages and emails with a representative who immediately found us Mr. Nevels and an additional math tutor. She was in constant contact with me and made sure both myself and my daughter had everything we needed. I can't say enough good things about this service."See more
