GPA is one of the most important factors in a student’s college application. We specialize in
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.
Based on an analysis of recent homework and test results, our tutoring is fully personalized to target each student’s academic weaknesses. We focus on 1:1 instruction to maximize student engagement, accountability, and motivation.
We have over 600 verified five-star reviews from happy families across the country. Since 2015, we've helped 3,000+ students boost their GPA so they can get into their top-choice universities.
After graduating from UPenn and working at Google and Gatorade, our founders bring a track record of excellence. At Amikka, this commitment translates into industry-leading results. Our students have earned over $25,000,000 in total scholarships.
We help students complete their weekly homework assignments and prepare for upcoming tests so they can significantly improve their class grades. For AP classes, we offer practice exams and review materials, ensuring students are fully prepared to score a 4 or 5 on the official exam.
We track scoring progress throughout the program to drive data-driven decisions. Families receive session reports, scoring trends, and regular feedback opportunities to ensure continuous improvement.
For your peace of mind, we’re committed to providing a flexible 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.
With busy schedules, students can easily fall behind in their classes.
The Amikka Method provides a structured and effective approach to
boosting grades and AP scores with confidence.
After a free consultation, students complete a short questionnaire to identify their learning style, schedule, and tutor preferences. We use the results to match each student with a top 1% tutor who fits their availability and has extensive experience in the specific class.
Based on an analysis of recent homework and test results, we design a custom program that focuses on the question types and concepts students struggle with most. Our instructors motivate, engage, and adapt to each student’s unique learning style.
We break down every concept in the course curriculum in a way that’s digestible and easy to remember. Our tutors provide expert strategies that can’t be found anywhere else.
We track progress on practice tests and simulate test-day conditions to ensure students are fully prepared to achieve their target grades and AP scores.
Aligned with Amikka’s mission, our pricing is designed to be affordable for families of all backgrounds.
You can even pay in monthly installments.
Maximum personalization, accountability, and engagement for massive grade improvement.
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.
