Dear Parents
and Students,
My journey into education began at Washington University in St. Louis, teaching 3rd and 4th graders. Watching a student finally understand something they had struggled with is what pulled me into this work, and more than 20 years later it is still the best part of my day.
I founded ConnectPrep in 2013 because I saw too many families paying for prep that treated every student the same: large classes, recycled worksheets and advice that never changed from one student to the next. We do the opposite. Every student works one on one with an instructor I have personally vetted, and every plan begins with a diagnostic, not a sales pitch.
Our method is simple to describe and hard to copy. We simplify and deconstruct each test so students understand how every question is built. That is why the score gains our families describe in their reviews hold up on test day, and why the same approach carries into AP courses, private school entrance exams and graduate tests. Today our team supports students at every stage:
Just as important, tutoring, test prep and admissions strategy live under one coordinated plan. No family has to manage three different companies. I stay involved, and so does your student’s team, from the first conversation to the final decision letter.
If you are wondering whether ConnectPrep is the right fit, the best first step is a conversation. Tell me where your student is today and where they want to go, and we will map out the path together.
Warm regards,
Jeremy Fine
Founder, ConnectPrep

We work with day schools across Fairfield County, Westchester, New York City, Long Island and Northern New Jersey, and with boarding schools nationwide.

What is ConnectPrep University?
ConnectPrep University is our online test prep portal. It offers strategy-first SAT and ACT courses, timed practice drills with a written explanation for every question, and progress tracking that shows students exactly where to focus next.
Students can start with free lessons and use it on its own or alongside one on one tutoring. Visit ConnectPrep University.
Does ConnectPrep offer in-person or online sessions?
Both. In-person sessions are available in Fairfield County, Westchester, New York City, Long Island and Northern New Jersey, plus select markets including Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles.
Online sessions are available everywhere, including for families living abroad, and every session is one on one.
When should my student start SAT or ACT prep?
Most students do best starting three to six months before their first test date, often the summer before or the fall of junior year. A diagnostic first tells us which test fits best and sets a target at or above the 75th percentile for the student’s top colleges.
Starting earlier leaves room for a retake, and a higher score always widens the options.
How much does ConnectPrep cost?
Pricing depends on the program, the instructor and whether sessions are in person or online, so we build it around each family instead of publishing one rate.
Every engagement starts with a free consultation, and you receive a custom plan with clear pricing before you commit. Families can also share session packages through ConnectShare.
What makes ConnectPrep different?
Every session is one on one, every tutor is personally vetted by our founder, and test prep, tutoring and admissions strategy are coordinated under one plan, so nothing falls through the cracks.
Our curriculum simplifies and deconstructs each test, and families can read the results for themselves in hundreds of verified five-star reviews on Google, Thumbtack, Superprof and Care.com. Read reviews.
