Programs
Four ways we help. One method underneath.
Every program follows the same proven process: diagnose, instruct, practice under real conditions, and show you the results.
SAT Prep
The SAT is digital and adaptive — our curriculum was rebuilt for it. Group classes, one-on-one tutoring, and proctored official practice exams.
ACT Prep
The ACT changed: shorter, with optional Science. All ACT prep is one-on-one, and we help decide whether it’s your student’s better test.
SSAT · ISEE · HSPT
Private and Catholic school admissions prep, built around a testing plan for your student’s target schools.
College Essays
Coaching that keeps the student’s voice while making every word count. Most students need just 1–3 hours.
How it works
Diagnose. Instruct. Test. See the results.
Once your student enrolls, we establish a baseline, build the plan, begin instruction, and show you the results.
Diagnostic
A full-length proctored practice exam sets your student’s real baseline, for placement and planning. It’s part of every program.
Plan
We recommend SAT or ACT, class or one-on-one, and a schedule that fits your family.
Prep
Expert instruction plus proctored practice exams every two weeks under real conditions.
Results
Scores in your parent portal after every exam, all the way to test day.
Why Crimson Review
Forty years of results, shown in real time.
We’ve done this for 40 years.
Founded in 1986, we’re now prepping the children of our former students. Every instructor scored in the 99th percentile and trains continuously in our methods.
Parents see everything.
After every proctored practice exam, section scores and trends post to your parent portal. No guessing whether prep is working — you watch it work.
We’re current.
The SAT went digital and adaptive; the ACT got shorter. Our materials and strategies track the tests as they exist now — not as they were five years ago.
We’re independent.
Not a franchise. We choose the best materials from any source and build our own where nothing on the market is good enough.
Results
Real results, not fine print.
“Our daughter improved from the 75th to the 90th percentile. We could not be happier.”
Conestoga parent · 75th → 90th percentile
“Two of my children improved between 200–300 points on their SATs. Well worth the money.”
Garnet Valley parent · +200–300 points
“The teachers really knew my children. What they learned stuck — even months after the course.”
Lower Merion parent
“The results were better than we could have imagined. He can now consider schools he couldn’t before.”
Radnor parent
Some prep companies advertise big point guarantees.
Read the terms and you’ll usually find attendance requirements, homework logs, and a “free repeat course” instead of a refund. We do it differently: every proctored practice test posts to your parent portal, so you watch your student’s actual scores climb from the first diagnostic to test day. No asterisks.
Wayne & Malvern
A real place, with real people.
No stock photos here — this is our building on Conestoga Road, our classrooms, and the instructors your student will actually work with.
