No Added Stress. Much Less Homework!

This generation of teenagers are the most stressed in history. We are committed to reducing their stress, not adding to it. Our test prep does not add hours of homework to their week.

You've probably heard from other companies, "their score depends on how much they work." Nonsense! It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Students do the hard work with their tutors and just bring home some light review.

Sound strange? Well, it works!!

Taking our FREE diagnostic ACT exams are a great way to begin preparing.

For more information or to schedule a diagnostic exam, please contact The House.

Our Testimonials

I just got the most amazing call from my daughter just now. She was practically jumping through the phone and wanted to let me know that her US History test was AWESOME. I haven’t heard her this proud and excited about her work in a very long time- We are absolutely thrilled.

Parent in Highland Park

I cannot thank you and your tutor enough. My daughter was absolutely over the moon with her session. She said it was amazing. I think you found the perfect person to take her where she wants to go. This is going to be a great match. With many thanks!!

Parent, WInnetka

You have given Luke the desire to do well. I’ve been working on that for 4 years! He was so excited to show me his grades and current jump in overall GPA. I don’t know what you are doing, or how you are doing it, but thank you!

Parent, Glencoe

Just wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of you for all the support that my son got over this first semester in high school. It seemed that he had no idea what he was doing at the start of his freshman year. Your tutor assisted him with organization, study, writing and most importantly thinking skills... best of all, my son loves working with him! Your tutor completely changed the course of his first semester.

Parent, Northbrook
