Wagner Prep for SMS student-athletes
We’ve worked with a lot of SMS students over the years, and we know how full their weeks get. We plan SAT and ACT prep, tutoring, and college advising around the schedule your student already has. Every session is online, so it works wherever they are that week.
Built around a full schedule
You won’t need to explain the SMS calendar to us. Some of our SMS students prep in the off-season, and plenty prep right through it. Either way, the plan starts with what’s already on the schedule.
A plan that fits the calendar
We look at races, travel, and school deadlines first, then choose test dates and a weekly rhythm that work around them.
Online, wherever they are
Sessions are on Zoom with the same tutor each week. Moving a session for a race or a travel day is normal for us.
You’ll know how it’s going
Parents get a written update after every session. Handy when your kid is in Vermont and you aren’t.
Grades stay on track
If a class starts slipping on the road, a subject tutor can step in for a few weeks or the whole season.
What we help with
-
SAT and ACT tutoring
One-on-one prep with a tutor matched to your student. Most students meet twice a week, once for math and once for reading and writing. Not sure which test? We’ll help you decide before anyone opens a prep book.

Subject tutoring
Math, science, English, Spanish, and most AP courses, plus IB. It’s a good fit for keeping up during race season, or for pushing a grade before an AP cutoff.

College advising
SMS families usually want help with the whole thing: figuring out what their student actually wants, building the list, and getting every application in on time. We stay with them through decision day.

Essay coaching
An athlete who has spent years training and traveling usually has plenty to write about. The hard part is choosing. We help them find the story that’s theirs, and they write every word.
