Harvard University's Top Students Join ExpertInsight.com to Tutor High School Students on SAT PreparationCAMBRIDGE, Mass. --(Business Wire)-- With college application deadlines looming, parents who want to give their kids a leg up on test preparation can now book one-on-one tutoring sessions with the world's best test takers - a select group of Harvard University students with perfect or near-perfect SAT/ACT scores. ExpertInsight.com is a new website that connects the experienced Harvard test-takers with high school students nationwide, or even internationally. Their goal is to help others earn test scores that will impress admissions officers and earn them a coveted spot at their dream college. Support is also offered in other areas of the admissions/college selection process, including critiquing applications and essays. All that's needed is a webcam and parents willing to foot the bill, which ranges from $25 to $75 per hour. Tutoring sessions utilize a video chat program similar to Skype (News - Alert) that allows the Harvard students and high schoolers to interact virtually in order to address common test-taking challenges and ease the nervousness that is typically brought on as a result of the college application process. "SAT prep books are often daunting and uninspiring," said Expert Insight Founder and Chief Executive Officer Brandon Adams who is himself a Harvard graduate and now a successful entrepreneur. "Expert Insight lets students talk to peers who were in their position just a couple of years ago and who know how to relate to them in an effective manner." One of Expert Insight's new tutors, Harvard sophomore Dan Zangri, has helped out high school students in his hometown of Darien, Illinois during the past few years on an informal basis and now looks forward to expanding his outreach to a broader group via Expert Insight. "It's great to be able to reach students virtually instead of only those who live nearby. Everyone should have equal access when applying for college and I'm glad the playing field is being leveled."
