The founder of the company, John Christianson, became interested in the SAT after taking the PSAT as a sophomore in high school. Motivated by his low scores, John studied diligently for the SAT, raising his score by nearly 400 points. After graduating from Swarthmore College, John began tutoring the SAT on a one-on-one basis in the Philadelphia area. Since 1989, he has helped thousands of students raise their ACT and SAT scores.
