SAT & diagnostic
Only personalized and focused prep. Just what your student needs.
We built Curvebreakers to be the opposite of the big-box prep mills. Every plan is shaped around the student's goals, learning style, and real test data. And we keep parents in the loop with emailed session notes.
Individualized strategy
Tutoring is built around each student's strengths, gaps, and target score — never a one-size-fits-all script.
Driven by your data
Diagnostic results guide every session. We track progress test to test so prep targets what actually moves the score.
Transparent communication
Parents get session updates and weekly progress reports. Office staff, tutors, and the owner stay coordinated.
From first practice test to test day
A clear, repeatable path. Most students start 8–10 weeks before their first official SAT and keep prepping between scheduled exams.
Free practice SAT
Sit for a full-length diagnostic — paper or adaptive digital. New students' first practice test is free.
Diagnostic review
Meet with owner Nick LaPoma to read your score analysis and decide SAT vs. ACT and which official dates to take.
Personalized plan
Get a tutoring plan mapped to your timeline and target score, with the right number of hours to get there.
Tutor & retest
Work 1-on-1 with a matched tutor, take practice exams on weekends, and refine through each official sitting.
Full-length, diagnostic practice exams
Digital SAT students take an online, adaptive practice test and get a score plus a diagnostic report immediately after finishing — comparable to Bluebook.
- Results and score analysis available instantly
- Logins shared with parents to review together
- Unlimited free exams with any tutoring package
- Practice exams offered almost every weekend
Know your starting point before you spend a dollar on prep.
The most common question parents ask is how and when to begin. The answer is the same for everyone: start with a full-length diagnostic. It establishes a baseline and shows exactly which question types and timing issues to work on.
Technology simulates the digital SAT environment so students feel confident and comfortable on test day — and the Diagnostic Score Analysis stays at the center of the whole improvement process.

Associate tutors range from full-time teachers to grad students. They may be newer to tutoring but have demonstrated expert knowledge of the exam and a real ability to connect with students.
Flexible hours that fit your timeline
Every student has a different starting point and end goal. Hours never expire on a student and can transfer to a sibling or another service, including college essays.
A focused start for students with a shorter runway or a specific area to sharpen.
