Connecting Black students to Black tutors 🎓 ACT/SAT + Academic Skill Building Programs
About us
Top Tutors for Us is an algorithm to match high school students with culturally competent tutors and builds test prep programs mapped to their academic skill gaps. The founder Angelica Harris recently received her Masters in Computer Science, which was her third degree from Washington University. Prior to college, she was offered over $1.5 million in college scholarships and received admittance to top universities. However, before all of this she had to take the ACT. She started with a score of 16 and, through her own efforts, increased it to 32, with an impressive 35 in Math, all achieved within a span of 7 months. Since then, she has spent 7 years helping other students do the same. While in undergrad she noticed the low percentage of Black students at top universities and decided to create a business dedicated to helping Black students become competitive applicants.

Wondering about the differences between Early Decision (ED) and Early Action (EA)? ✍️ Starting early is crucial! ED is a binding commitment to attend if accepted, allowing you to apply to only one school, while EA is non-binding, letting you apply to multiple schools without being required to attend if accepted. Both options provide quicker results, typically by mid-December. Check out this quick reel from our founder, Angelica, for essential tips on choosing the right application path. Don’t miss her expert advice—get ahead of the game this application season! #TopTutorsForUs Angelica Harris
