Christopher and Christian graduated from UPenn and worked at Google and Gatorade. Now with Amikka, they’ve built a team
of 100+ tutors focused on providing families with affordable access to personalized 1:1 tutoring and innovative AI technology.
Christopher, a first-generation college student who couldn’t afford expensive tutoring, spent hundreds of hours deconstructing the SAT on his own. After improving his score by 400 points and earning admission to UPenn, Christopher created Amikka’s affordable SAT/ACT tutoring programs, which have now helped over 3,000 students. Christopher worked at Google for several years before leaving to focus on Amikka full-time.
Christian grew up in a small town and became the first student from his high school to attend UPenn. After several years of helping students improve their SAT/ACT scores and craft their college essays, he built Amikka’s college admissions advising program, which has now helped our students earn over $25 million in total scholarships. Following his graduation from UPenn, Christian worked at Gatorade before transitioning full-time to Amikka.
Most 1-on-1 tutoring programs cost $150-200 per hour. At around $60 per hour, we’re extremely affordable in comparison. Our mission is to expand access to higher education for students of all backgrounds and circumstances.
All Amikka tutors scored in the top 1% on the SAT/ACT and attended highly selective universities. Most are undergraduate students or recent college graduates, allowing them to relate to and connect with high school students on a personal level. Having taken the exam within the last 10 years, our tutors are fully up to date on the latest test-taking strategies and well-versed in the new digital format.
Beyond their expertise, they are friendly, motivating, engaging, and excellent communicators—dedicated to helping students succeed. The name “Amikka” is inspired by the Spanish word “amiga,” meaning friend—a reflection of our commitment to making learning a supportive and positive experience.
To provide maximum flexibility for our students, we utilize fully online tutoring via Zoom. This allows students to learn from the comfort of their preferred setting while giving us access to the highest-quality tutors nationwide rather than being limited to a single local community.
Each session features live, interactive video instruction with a digital whiteboard, ensuring a dynamic and engaging learning experience as tutors walk through exam content and strategies.
We recommend that students begin by meeting with their tutor one to three times per week for 90-minute sessions. However, this schedule is flexible and can be adjusted based on the student's timeline, learning pace, and goals. To accommodate busy schedules, we offer sessions on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible availability to ensure students get the support they need.
Our tutor-matching process is a top priority. When students sign up, we use their responses from a short questionnaire to match them with a tutor who best fits their schedule, learning style, and academic needs. This ensures a personalized and effective learning experience from day one.
For your peace of mind, we’re committed to providing a flexible and risk-free experience for getting started with our program. With no long-term contracts, you have the freedom to switch instructors at any time to find the perfect match.
