Assignment of Upgrade Consultant

When requesting a session consultation, you can discuss the desired subjects and tutors with Upgrade’s consultant.

1:1 session with a consultant every 2 weeks

Upgrade’s consultant discusses the student’s class status and learning progress bi-weekly and monitors them continuously.

Customized strategy development through a 3-step assessment

The system consists of three systematic steps: identifying target schools and career paths, personalized essay editing, and unlimited school applications to ensure student care.

Schedule management during the semester and breaks

We help students utilize their time efficiently by differentiating schedules between vacations and semesters.

Resume preparation and management

We assist students in achieving their goal of admission to their target universities in the final stage.

Guidance and selection for courses, majors, and careers

I provide guidance through sufficient conversation and counseling for students in determining their college career paths.

Provision of ECs like camps, competitions, research, and tours selected by Roadmap D.C.

I assist in making appropriate choices based on tutors' know-how and experience in EC selection.

Internship opportunities at startups related to the major

I offer internship opportunities to gain practical experience related to majors.

I scored 150 points lower than my original practice test score on the March 24, 2014 SAT, which I took as a self-taught Bluebook student. I'm in 12th grade, so I was looking for a tutor on UPGRADE who could quickly help me with my SAT weaknesses in the EC and essay. Alice was able to immediately point out the vocabulary and evidence types that I was struggling with. I studied every weekend for two months to prepare for the SAT and finished with a fantastic score of 1560 on the June test! Long live UPGRADE and Alice!

Sean's SAT class was an experience that allowed me to really identify and fix my weaknesses that I had been ignoring. He made me take notes on the wrong answers instead of just saying, "Oh, that's a mistake, let's go with the right one." He made me time and solve practice questions like they were real. I was able to achieve good results thanks to the tips and practical experience of a teacher who scored a perfect score on the SAT. If you're a self-taught student like me and you've hit a wall, try a free session and you won't regret it.

Wow, I got a 5 in just one month of preparation! AP Calculus BC was such a huge barrier for me as a struggling student and I was so confused about what I needed to study more and what problems I needed to work on for the May exam, but after meeting with Steve, I could see the flow of the questions and even predicted what was coming this year. I thought about studying at a cram school or self-studying until the end, but as an 11th grader, I felt that I needed to prepare for AP in a short period of time. I hope to graduate soon and give this kind of help to juniors like me in the future.

I felt like I was just going over the same material that I could have done on my own, and I didn't feel very efficient. I wanted a tutor with IB experience to help me revise, so I turned to UPGRADE, which has the largest number of tutors in Korea. Aidan, who is from Cambridge, was a light. He revised my answers to make them exactly to Markscheme's standards, and most importantly, he gave me living tips and strong motivation regarding UK universities. I will definitely get into your university, cheers!
