| Academic Tutoring

Foley Prep specializes in providing comprehensive academic support and executive function skill development for middle school students. Our experienced tutors have a proven track record of helping students prepare for entrance exams such as the SSAT, MCVSD, and school-specific exams like Delbarton, Trinity Hall Prep, and Christian Brothers Academy.

Our approach is based on Professor Foley's doctoral research on how students develop basic algebraic and other mathematical skills. Whether your child needs help mastering a specific subject or skill, or needs support in developing cognitive processes that impact organization, short-term memory, long-term planning, and other vital study skills, we offer both 1-on-1 and semi-private tutoring sessions.

Our dedicated tutors are experts at working with both gifted and struggling middle schoolers, and are committed to providing personalized support to enrich students’ academic experience and develop their executive function. Let us help your child achieve academic success and prepare for future success beyond middle school!

Many families tell us that their child “does well in school, but isn’t a very good test-taker”. That may well be true, but grade inflation might also be the culprit. Teachers today are disinclined to challenge truly gifted students, and many are afraid to give bad grades. So, students at various tracks can get the false impression that they are very good at a subject. The wake-up call comes when they take a PSAT, SAT®, or ACT® and score lower than they expected.

Foley Prep Pros who tutor academic subjects know not only the subject matter, but also local curricula. They inspire teenagers to truly understand and enjoy the material, not just memorize facts. As a result, Foley Prep students get better grades and do better at comprehensive and standardized exams. Our tutors range from full-time, salaried Foley Pros to faculty at colleges and high schools.

We primarily offer small group and 1-on-1 tutoring in-person at all our locations in New Jersey. For the past 15 years, we have also tutored students online in far-away places such as Hawaii and Italy.
