Introducing Inspirica ABOUT US

The Inspirica Story

 

The Inspirica Difference
Since 1983, Inspirica has been exceptionally successful in preparing students for standardized tests and academic work. We customize our programs to suit each student's specific needs and goals. With warmth and expertise, an Inspirica tutor works one-on-one with each student on content and strategies, and an educational consultant works with you on everything else. Our unique, collaborative approach means that all members of our team — from our superb tutors to our caring and knowledgeableoffice staff — make sure that you receive the best possible care to achieve great results with minimal stress.

 

Our Educational Consultants
The first time you contact Inspirica you will speak with an educational consultant who will be your personal guide to the entire test preparation process. Your educational consultant will get to know you and your goals, make a personalized program recommendation, and answer any questions you may have over the course of your programs. If you are unsure of which exams are needed for admissions or how to distribute tests across multiple dates or even when to schedule an exam, your educational consultant would be happy to conduct a complimentary "Educational Audit" and create a testing plan for you. Your educational consultant will oversee your programs from beginning to end, making sure that the right tutor is matched to your program, checking in with you periodically to provide feedback, and recommending adjustments if needed.

 

Our Tutors
Our tutors are, in a word, inspirational. They are highly educated and bright, with a wide range of academic and professional expertise, and they score exceptionally high on standardized tests. For us, this is just the beginning. To qualify as Inspirica tutors, they must also be personable, skilled motivators who communicate easily with students of all ages. After demonstrating proficiency in every subject that they teach, our tutors complete an extensive training program on various approaches of teaching strategies and content. Throughout their Inspirica careers, our tutors also participate in ongoing professional development workshops to continue to hone their teaching skills. Working one-on-one with their students, our tutors are enthusiastic, patient, and eager to invest in each student as an individual. They are true professionals who take deep pride in their work.

 

Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is unsurpassed, constantly evolving and growing in response to new research and changing standards and needs. Inspirica devotes a group of staff members to the regular study and analysis of the standardized tests that we tutor, from those used in independent/boarding school admission through college and graduate school. As part of our constant monitoring of the tutoring process, our staff upgrades and improves curriculum materials on a regular basis.

 

Our Programs
Our programs are customized to each student based on an initial assessment and a conversation about your goals and hopes. Your educational consultant will analyze the results of this assessment and recommend an individualized tutoring program according to what you'd like to achieve, whether that means basic familiarity with the exam in a relaxed environment or an intensive program with a focus on as much score improvement as possible or some combination of the two. Our tutors customize their approach and the content that they cover in session according to each student's needs and progress — they understand that one size does not fit all and that every program will unfold in a unique way. We offer a complimentary mock exam program to our students so that in addition to their in-session work with tutors, they have the opportunity to take practice exams under test conditions. These "mocks" also provide check points over the course of a tutoring program. Our tutors and educational consultants work together to ensure that your programs progress smoothly so that you can feel confident.

 

Our Locations
Our tutors will meet with you at a time and place of your convenience. They are based in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia and commute to surrounding areas. Many of our families prefer in-home tutoring, but other arrangements are also possible, such as meeting at a local library or in one of our offices. Our tutors are available for online tutoring through our "Inspirica Anywhere" program and can also travel to other national and international locations for in-person tutoring through a Custom Trip.
