Curvebreakers Test Prep's mission is to provide personalized test preparation services to all students regardless of their background or financial situation. After working for some of the largest tutoring companies and boutique firms in New York City, Nicholas LaPoma founded Curvebreakers in 2014 with a vision to create a tutoring company that emphasizes data-driven results with a personalized approach.
At Curvebreakers, we're committed to empowering students to achieve their academic goals through customized instruction, authentic assessment tools, and culturally responsive study materials that help them excel on college admissions exams. Our program is designed to prepare students to meet and exceed the SAT College Readiness Benchmarks and the ACT College and Career Readiness Standards, and we're dedicated to ensuring that all students have access to the tools they need to succeed.
Our unique selling point is our school partnership program, which enables us to offer budget-friendly programs and provide equal access to premium test preparation for all students. We prioritize personalized attention to school administrative staff, students, and parents while maintaining a family atmosphere. By partnering with Curvebreakers Test Prep, schools can help their students prepare for college admissions exams and achieve their academic goals in a supportive, inclusive environment.
We believe that every student deserves equal access to the tools they need to succeed, and we're passionate about helping students reach their full potential. At Curvebreakers, we're excited to partner with schools to make that happen.
Curvebreakers' program plan is designed to provide school solutions through courses, materials, and professional development for SAT/ACT exams and other standardized tests in an innovative, effective, and engaging style. Our mission is to even the playing field in the college admissions process by offering programs that focus exclusively on the subjects covered on college entrance exams and effective strategies for approaching each question type.
To accomplish our mission, we continuously evaluate progress toward our goals by analyzing practice test results, engaging in formal and informal discussions with school administrators, and collecting student feedback through course surveys. We make adjustments to our curriculum where necessary to ensure that we are providing the most effective test prep services available.
Curvebreakers only hires instructors with extensive teaching experience and compensates them at a higher rate than many of our competitors. Our instructors are multilingual, and when offering professional development to teaching staff, we utilize only the most experienced instructors who have attained the Master Trainer level.
We offer several funding options, whether through school pay or parent pay, and we follow all relevant laws and regulations, including state licensing standards. We connect with the community and families by presenting at college nights, back-to-school nights, or any other school event. We conduct live and/or virtual sessions for students, parents, and faculty on various college prep-related topics.

Generally, the classroom instruction is divided into eight 2.25-hour sessions, and each practice test is 3.5 hours. However, based on student availability and/or specific student requirements, course length and sessions are customizable.
