Humans over algorithms
Wagner Prep is a small business led by Mike Wagner himself. We believe that improving your grades is more than just answering the questions correctly. It is learning to trust in your answers, be motivated to complete the work, and gain confidence in the subject, things AI and algorithms do a poor job of.
Unlike in big-box test prep competitors, you know exactly who you will be dealing with: Mike oversees all clients and is a valuable resource for all parts of the college admissions process, and students have the same tutors every week to build real, human connections. He employs a motivated team of nine tutors ranging from professional writers to medical school students who have undergone rigorous training, are personable, and have lots of tutoring experience.
That’s it. Small. Accountable. Effective.

The Wagner Prep Difference
Sure, you could buy a prep book and watch it collect dust. Or stick your son or daughter in a large prep class that doesn’t hold them accountable.
Or you could learn what makes Mike Wagner and his team so effective for SAT/ACT Prep and College Admissions Planning.
Our Clients
“Mike was amazing from the beginning! We spoke about my son’s priorities for college, his challenges with testing and we collaborated on a strategy. Mike did not only help my son’s scores improve but he helped him manage the stress of the college process. After taking the SAT we hired Mike once again to guide my son through the college essay process. His creativity and attention to detail not only helped create a beautiful college essay, but made my son a much better writer. My son ended up getting into his first choice which seemed to be something unobtainable all thanks to the diligent and thoughtful work of Mike and his team. I’m planning to use his services for my daughter next!”
