Our emphasis is four-fold:
College Application Advising
Test Prep
Subject Tutoring
Study Skills coaching

 
 

Wallace Tutors’ individualized college application advising is characterized by personalization, mentorship, and well established industry insight. There's no denying that applying to college is more intense and competitive than ever, but we endeavor to alleviate stress for your child and your family throughout every phase of the process — from high school course selection and resume building to application essay writing and organization. A successful admissions approach requires first-person storytelling in which authenticity, integrity, and cohesion are key ingredients. We tailor our strategic approaches to each college and university, ensuring that the student’s specific passion and unique talents clearly resonate through every facet of the application. Our advisors help your student show colleges not only who they are, but why their education is undeniably important. Wallace Tutors’ advisory team sees consistently excellent results, helping students gain admission to an array of top schools including Princeton, Yale, Chicago, Columbia, UC-Berkeley, Brown, Vanderbilt, NYU, UNC, Michigan, Tulane, U-Miami, Rice and many others.

College interview coaching is an emerging demand as more and more colleges indicate that they will emphasize interpersonal skills as a diagnostic criterion for college admissions. Our staff is uniquely suited for interview prep as many of our tutors have strong backgrounds in public speaking, debate, and theater.

We feature experienced test-prep experts for the SAT, ACT, SAT II, AP Exams, SSAT and other standardized tests. We teach aggressive techniques and strategies for mastering the test and boosting scores. But we also emphasize self-care and the psychology of test taking: the distinct blend of patience, confidence, and assertion that is needed to thrive on test day.

We offer elite-level subject tutoring across all core high school and middle school disciplines—including writing, reading, math, science, history, and languages—along with a range of advanced specializations for students in honors, AP, IB, and college-level coursework. Whether a student is working to build foundational skills or pushing toward academic distinction, our tutors bring both deep expertise and a sharp eye for each student’s individual needs.

Just as importantly, our team has the patience, training, and insight to help students develop the habits that support long-term success: time management, organization, academic resilience, and a confident, balanced approach to demanding workloads. For students who struggle with executive functioning or need guidance on how to study effectively, we offer targeted study skills coaching and executive functioning support, which can be arranged as standalone sessions or as a strategic supplement to ongoing tutoring. We also offer the option of small-group workshops and seminars for students who may benefit from collaborative or peer-supported formats—particularly those navigating attention-based learning differences.

Our approach is always personal, always adaptive—and always built around helping each student thrive, not just survive, in their academic journey.

FOR post-grads:

Our graduate-level exam support has become one of the fastest-growing arms of Wallace Tutors. We offer elite tutoring for the LSAT, GMAT, GRE, and MCAT, with an exceptional team of specialists—many with years of experience and advanced degrees themselves. For students preparing for the LSAT in particular, we’ve seen outstanding results. Our tutors deliver rigorous, strategy-driven prep combined with clear structure and personalized support, helping students sharpen critical reasoning and master the logic games and reading comprehension sections that are essential to a top score.

In tandem with LSAT prep, we now offer law school application advising, guiding students through every step of the process—from personal statements and resume development to selecting target schools and refining application strategy. We work closely with our clients to craft compelling, authentic narratives that highlight their motivations, strengths, and unique potential as future legal professionals. Several of our students have recently gained admission to highly competitive law programs, and we’re proud to continue expanding this area of our practice.
