Our Extracurriculars
The activities that
get students noticed.
Our mentors have competed at the highest levels of research, olympiads, and competitions. Here's how we help your student build a foundation that stands out.
Research & science fairs
Research is one of the most intimidating things to start and one of the most rewarding once you're in it. We take a student from a blank page to a finished paper or poster: finding a question worth asking, sorting out the methodology, working through the data, and tightening the write-up.
When it helps, we put students in touch with professors who can push the work further. The goal is to do something nobody has done before without the process feeling impossible.
- Mentors who've worked with professors at Georgia Tech, USC, UW, and more
- Mentors who've been through programs like SSTP
- Mentors who've won top awards at ISEF
Olympiads
Olympiads reward steady, well-aimed studying more than raw talent. We help students build a study routine that actually holds up, then teach the hard parts one-on-one, in a way that fits how each student thinks.
From the first qualifying exam to the national rounds, we help students climb as far as they're willing to push.
- Mentors who've qualified for the AIME and made the USAMO
- Top finishes across the USNCO, USAPhO, USAAAO, and USESO
- One-on-one coaching on the concepts that actually decide scores
Passion projects
Some of the strongest applications are built around one project a student genuinely cares about. We help build that, in whatever field they're into, and aim it at real use instead of a slide deck.
In a field this crowded, a project people actually use is what makes a student hard to forget.
- Mentors who've built virtual chemistry labs now used in real schools and universities
- Mentors who've built study platforms with thousands of questions and thousands of users
- A finished project that's clearly the student's own
Robotics
We work the season alongside your student: reading their code, helping debug, and talking through design and strategy when things get stuck.
Whether it's a first build or a title run, they've got someone in their corner who has been there.
- Hands-on code review and debugging through the season
- Mentors who've competed in FRC Worlds and won at FTC Worlds
Science Olympiad
We help your student get ready for the exact events they're running. That means going over the tricky concepts, building cheat sheets that earn their spot in the binder, and working through real practice problems.
The aim is to win 1st at state and qualify to nationals.
- Concept review, cheat sheets, and targeted practice for your events
- Mentors who've taken 1st at state across more than ten events
and much more
Two ways to work with us
Whatever fits your student.
Most families go with general consulting. If your student would rather go deep on one thing, there's a focused option too.
General consulting
Mentorship across anything
The full thing. Your student can work on any activity, change direction as their interests shift, and ask us the general admissions questions that come up along the way.
- Mentorship on any activity
- General questions, anytime
- Easy to change course as priorities change
Focused EC mentorship
One extracurricular, all the way
Pick one extracurricular and build it out over ten or more sessions. It costs less than general consulting, with the trade that it stays on that one activity.
- One extracurricular, start to finish
- Ten or more dedicated sessions
- Scoped to that activity, so general questions aren't included
Not sure which one fits?
