About Us
In 2010, My Favorite Tutor, Inc. was started in South Florida to serve the tutoring needs of families in the Ft. Lauderdale area. The vision was to provide a bridge beyond the classroom to help students achieve their individual goals. Our specialty was SAT and ACT preparation, although we assisted with a variety of other subjects and services.
By 2013, we relocated My Favorite Tutor to Central Florida near our home while adding remote learning to work with students virtually. For the past 15 years, we have had the pleasure of assisting thousands of students and their families in their education journeys through academic coaching. Besides SAT and ACT coaching, we now offer a variety of services to help high school students prepare for university applications (including Common App), essays, resumes, and sourcing scholarships. We are here to patiently help, from start to finish.
