affordable 1:1 tutoring so students can maximize their GPAs and become
competitive applicants to their top-choice universities.
Our tutors scored in the top 1% of test-takers and attended highly selective universities like Harvard or UPenn. Amikka tutors are friendly, engaging, and motivating. "Amikka" comes from "amiga" in Spanish.

Students often fall behind not because they lack ability, but because they lack structure, accountability, and personalized support.
Amikka combines expert 1:1 tutoring with customized academic strategy to help students build confidence, improve grades,
and stay ahead throughout the school year.
Every student begins with a consultation designed to understand their academic goals, current challenges, learning style, schedule, and course workload. We use this information to carefully match each student with a tutor who best fits their personality, subject needs, and academic goals.
We create a personalized learning plan focused on the specific concepts, assignments, and test material each student needs the most help with. Sessions are tailored in real time to strengthen weaknesses, improve study habits, and build long-term academic confidence.
Students receive structured support between sessions through homework guidance, progress tracking, study planning, and ongoing communication designed to keep them organized, accountable, and consistently improving throughout the semester.
Our goal is not just better test scores, but stronger academic independence and confidence. By combining expert tutoring with personalized strategy and consistent accountability, students are able to improve performance while reducing academic stress.
Some classes can be stressful and confusing, making it difficult for students to keep up.

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.
Most 1-on-1 tutoring programs cost $150-200 per hour. Starting at only $75 per hour for 1-on-1 tutoring, we’re extremely affordable in comparison. Our mission is to expand access to higher education for students of all backgrounds and circumstances.
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.
