The Human Connection
Though MAP has expanded substantially over the last couple of years, we have not outgrown
our roots. We have maintained the personalized commitment to families that has allowed
us to thrive in a market with so many tutoring options. In an environment in which
students can feel overwhelmed by school responsibilities and parents are often paralyzed
by an endless barrage of questions, MAP infuses the learning experience with a humanistic
element that is the entire point of education to begin with. With this approach as our foundation,
MAP students cultivate greater confidence, independence, critical thinking skills, and intellectual voracity.
Students are People, Too
MAP exists as the student's champion. Our tutors provide intellectual expertise, clear structure, and
emotional support, blending masterful academic guidance with genuine personal compassion. Daniel Stern's
vision from the day he started Metro Academic Prep was that MAP would offer something beyond mere tutoring.
In fact, many parents and students describe MAP tutors more as mentors, as we often maintain communication
long after the exam has been aced and the acceptance letter has been opened. The goal is to help students
attain their absolute top results; the path to that goal entails viewing them as more than just study machines.
Now There's One Smart Tutor
With this humanistic framework as the starting point, it is imperative to then have intellectual professionals
providing the academic insight. Finding the right tutor is similar to seeking out the right medical specialist,
as your education demands the same attention as your health. (A doctor helps give you life, while we’ll help
give you something to live for.) If you need help with math, find yourself a math pro. For work on your English
skills, find an English expert. One tutor handling a variety of subjects and tests is not likely to be equally
qualified in all areas. Do you want a good tutor who covers it all, or a masterfully skilled tutor for each
individual academic subject? With MAP, you get the masters, all under one roof. This ensures that you receive
the premier level of expertise in each area of need.
Convenience is King
MAP understands the chaotic schedule students keep these days. To make things easier, MAP tutors come to your
home or school, and can even meet during a student’s free period or lunch. This convenience
extends to parents, too, who gain access to MAP experts equipped with immediate responses to any questions you
may have. What is the difference between the SAT and ACT? What SAT Subject Tests should my child take? How do
I register? Should I communicate with the college contacts I made during a campus visit? MAP will field these
and any other miscellaneous questions you want answered without a hassle.
