Our Founding Story

‍

Hi there! My name is Aditya Palekar and I am the founder of Academic Allies. After taking and receiving a mid-1500's on my SAT and 5 on 5+ AP Exams, I received a full-tuition ride to school. Standardized exams are the number one reason for merit-based scholarships in the USA and I wanted to help out. But unfortunately, all test prep tutoring is often $150+/hr and simply not affordable. After running a summer beta class and average improvement being 180 points in 4 weeks, I created Academic Allies.

‍

Academic Allies was found on the merge of high quality, affordable, and data-driven tutoring. We average a 5-star rating (75+ reviews and counting); our expectation is to keep that. All of our bootcamps are $20/hr or less and 1 on 1 tutoring starts at $65/hr (with additional discounts for bulk packages). Every one of our tutors is a top 1% scorer at a top 1% school. We are here to help every child hit that mark. We have also been featured in a number of publications, supported schools and clubs across the nation, and are hoping to give back in more ways!

‍

With an average improvement of 220 points on SAT, 5.5 points on ACT, and 100% of our students scoring a 4 or 5 on AP Exams, we are proud to be your premier, affordable, test prep service. Reach out to us today and let us know how we can help you!
