How our sessions work

The same approach across every subject we tutor, whether it's the SAT, a math class, or an AP science.

01

We find the gaps

We start by figuring out what you actually struggle with, then build the session around those weak spots instead of wasting time on what you already know.

02

We teach the why

You'll understand the reasoning behind the material, not just the steps, so it holds up on new problems and questions you haven't seen before.

03

We move at your pace

Something clicks fast, we move on. It takes longer, we stay on it until it lands. Every session adapts to you.

Why we started CNV

We started CNV because we've seen how much gets lost in watered-down learning environments. In a class of 35, there's no room for personalization. The pace is set for the middle, and anyone ahead or behind is left to figure it out on their own.

We wanted to do the opposite. Real, one-on-one work that actually adapts to the student in front of us, taught by people who recently sat in the same seats and scored at the top. No script, no franchise, just focused help that meets you where you are.

We're three students who did well on these tests and classes and genuinely enjoy teaching them. Every student we take on gets our full attention, and we care about seeing you actually improve over time.

What makes us different

Real personalization

It's always one-on-one, and we shape each session around how you learn and what you need that day. No class of 35, no fixed script.

Taught by people who just did it

Our tutors recently took these exact classes and tests and scored at the top. You get strategies that just worked, from someone who still remembers what was hard.

A fraction of the price

Clear, per-subject rates with nothing hidden, and far below the $150 to $200 an hour the big prep companies charge.

Built around your life

School, sports, and everything else come first. We schedule around you, in person or online, whatever is easier.

Pricing

Simple, honest, per-subject rates, no packages, no hidden fees. Prices scale with course rigor, since tougher material takes more preparation to teach well.

Math

Priced by level.

  • Algebra I$20/hr
  • Algebra II$25/hr
  • Precalculus$30/hr
  • Calculus AB$35/hr
  • Calculus BC$40/hr

Science, History & Other

Matched to the math ladder by rigor.

  • On-level (Biology, History, Health Science)$20-25/hr
  • Geometry, Chemistry, Physics$25-30/hr
  • AP sciences & AP History$30-40/hr

Not sure where your class lands? We'll place it on the same rigor scale at your onboarding call.

SAT

$25-45/hr

Set on your onboarding call, based on how much help you need. A high scorer polishing the trickier question types pays toward the low end; someone building the fundamentals from the ground up is toward the high end.

We agree on the exact rate together during onboarding, before any sessions start.
