Premier Tutoring

The key to confidence is preparation. But not every method of preparation is right for every student. Kaplan's Premier Tutoring programs are tailored to your student’s personal study style and unique goals. Tutors work with families to design a schedule that's convenient for you—in your home, when you want. We'll provide the one-on-one attention your student needs to score higher and gain admission to a top university.

As you consider your options, we’d like you to remember three reasons why Kaplan Premier is the right choice for your student:

The Most Personalized Prep

We'll match your student with a tutor based on his or her individual learning needs. Your tutor will guide your son or daughter step-by-step through the program at a structured pace, taking extra care to address specific problem areas or concerns. In addition, through our exclusive Smart Reportstechnology, we continually analyze your performance and provide personalized prescription, offering you the greatest opportunity to increase your score.

Unmatched Expertise

When you enroll with Kaplan Premier, you tap into more than 60 years of expertise researching and tutoring standardized tests. Furthermore, every instructor has a top percentile score for the test they tutor. But that’s not enough. To tutor for Kaplan, you have to be able to teach and motivate. That’s why Kaplan accepts fewer than 1 in 6 applicants to tutor for us.

Guaranteed Results

You want the proven results that promise you'll walk into Test Day confident and prepared. That's why we have the strongest guarantee in the industry—you'll score higher or get your money back!*

  • Readiness. If your student doesn't feel ready to take the exam, he or she can take our classroom course for free or work with a tutor at a significantly reduced rate.
  • Satisfaction. No matter how many points your student's score improves, if you're not satisfied with the score, your student can take our classroom course for free or work with a tutor at a significantly reduced rate.
  • Money Back. And if for any reason your student's score does not improve, he or she can take advantage of the repeat options, or you can receive a full tuition refund.

How does the program work?

Your student's Kaplan tutoring experience begins with a diagnostic exam. Based on the results, we craft a program that addresses your student's specific test strengths and weaknesses. From day one, lessons are planned around your student's needs and goals. Throughout the program, regular practice tests are administered under test-like conditions to ensure that your student incorporates newly learned skills into the Test Day experience.
