Raising the standard on ACT and SAT prep.
Since 2011, Thirty-Six Education has been helping ambitious students achieve their highest ACT and SAT scores through carefully personalized, learning science–driven one-on-one tutoring.
What makes 36 education different?
We base learning on science
Every student's tutoring process is unique, because your child's learning style is unique. The first step will be an extensive and customized intake, not a cookie-cutter tutoring session. And the tutor who's matched with your child will instruct in a way that's informed by learning theory, principles of cognitive development, and deep knowledge of your child's learning style.
We empower your child
College admissions is crucial, and we want students to take ownership of their future so that their success reaches far beyond the test. We build skills that will serve your child throughout college, adulthood, and beyond, such as critical thinking, emotional resilience, pattern recognition, and decision-making.
we get perfect scores
It's important that your child feel confident about working with a genuine ACT/SAT expert and enthusiast. That's why the company founder and all of 36's tutors take the official ACT/SAT each year in order to register perfect scores. And we actually enjoy doing so! Moreover, every 36 employee tutors—we believe that staying close to our student experience is crucial to our business.
We care about our students
Our students are so much more than test takers. We understand that your child's progress and success are inextricable from their overall well-being and sense of self. We prioritize hiring tutors who are genuine, accessible, transparent, consistent, and kind. We also make sure that the process is enjoyable for your student, because learning can and should be a joy.
we increase access
We strive to be accessible to students of all income levels, increase access to college for all students, and improve students' abilities to gain admission into the colleges of their choice. In addition, we're creating a suite of preparation materials that will be diversely priced and accessible to all students by mid-2020.
we have targeted resources
We never want any student to run out of practice material. That's why we make sure that your child has more question sets, practice tests, and passages than they will ever need. In addition, we've created an entire resource library of 36-authored support material that targets any possible challenge area your student may have, from correcting comma splices to multiplying matrices. We also provide a mobile app that allows you and your child to track progress, scores, and review wrong-choice explanations.

Frequently asked questions
This is the million-dollar question! The answer depends on many factors, including:
- Baseline scores
- Timeline to the official test
- How many hours your child can commit to working with their tutor
- How much practice your child can commit to between tutoring sessions
We’ll always give you a realistic assessment of your student’s potential after we’ve spent some time understanding all of the factors involved. We’ll never over-promise just to gain your business.
We work diligently with your child’s schedule and competing commitments. The last thing we want is to be a burden or add stress; one of our responsibilities is to reduce your child’s stress and help pave the way to success.
