Why FLEX?
Get into your dream school.
Between the complex admissions process and the heavy competition, it’s not easy to achieve a place at one of the top universities in America.
But you don’t have to dread the process. At FLEX, our team of former admissions officers has the knowledge you need to overcome admissions obstacles. With our help, you’ll move through the process easily, stand out from the competition, and get accepted to your dream school.
Admission Consulting
College Counseling
When you’re preparing to apply to college, you’ve got a host of questions: which colleges to apply to, how to write any essay that will impress a jaded admissions officer, what to do before going into an interview, and so much more.
Your chances of success are much better if you have inside information. Many of FLEX’s counselors used to work as admissions officers, so they know exactly what colleges are looking for.
Get clarity and direction on college admissions.
Test Prep
Test Prep
If your standardized test scores have plateaued at other test prep centers, you should review carefully the kind of test prep they do. Do they only give you practice tests and then correct them for you? If so, is that really helping you?
At FLEX, we practice test prep effectively. We don’t simply correct your practice tests, we make sure you actually understand the concepts that underlie the tests. We’ll provide you with a tailored learning plan to follow, and ensure you don’t move on to one concept until you’ve mastered the previous one.
FLEX students see average score increases of 200-250 points on the SAT and 3-4 points on the ACT.
Tutoring & Academic Enrichment
Tutoring and Academic Enrichment
Getting strong grades in serious courses is the single most significant factor in college admissions.
FLEX Tutoring starts with an appraisal of your strengths and weaknesses. Based on this assessment, we’ll work with you to build out a learning plan that is customized to your needs.
Get personalized assistance to improve grades and build fundamental skills.

Princeton is a go! There are no words to describe the gratitude my parents and I have for FLEX. The college application process can seem like a daunting obstacle at times, and you guided me through impeccably. Again, thank you so much, and I’ll be sure to let you know how I'm doing in the future!
