Advantage Testing of Silicon Valley has delivered outstanding educational services to students in the Bay Area for almost 10 years. With offices in Palo Alto, San Francisco, Cupertino, Berkeley, San Rafael, and San Mateo, Advantage Testing of Silicon Valley has helped students from Santa Cruz to Sacramento achieve their academic goals.
Working in concert with educators, counselors, and learning specialists, we develop individually tailored programs that are designed to complement a student’s schoolwork and achieve a consistent strategy for success. We offer both test preparation and academic tutoring, including the development of custom curricula for students who seek academic enrichment beyond what their schools may offer.
In the community, our tutors work with Mission Graduates to help talented students from San Francisco's Mission District prepare for standardized college admissions exams. We also work individually with students from the Peninsula Bridge program. Our tutors have been recognized in the community for the quality of their work, including by receiving the "Sweetheart Award" for outstanding educational work with students with special needs.
