Why partner with us?


Colleges are getting more selective every year and average accepted PSAT/SAT/ACT scores are skyrocketing. With more of a focus on academics, schools often struggle to provide their students with the personalized support needed to maximize their scores.

Founded eight years ago by two UPenn alumni, Amikka is an education technology company that empowers students to achieve their academic dreams affordably. By partnering with us, schools can increase average standardized testing scores and boost college acceptance rates to top universities.

  1. Top 1% tutors in the nation

    Our tutors scored in the top 1% of test-takers and attended highly selective universities (like Harvard or UPenn). Amikka tutors are warm, friendly, motivating, and excellent communicators. The name "Amikka" comes from "amiga" in Spanish.

  2. Credible track record

    We have over 600 five-star reviews from happy families. By partnering with schools and organizations nationwide, we’ve helped over 3,000 students gain admission to their top-choice universities.

  3. Impressive results

    On average, our students improve by 200+ points on the SAT and 4+ points on the ACT with 40-50 hours of tutoring. Amikka students have earned over $25,000,000 in total scholarships.

  4. Innovative AI technology

    Our digital platform gives students a competitive edge with exclusive practice resources. Get access to 10 additional digital SAT/ACT practice exams, 3500 mimicked questions, 30 hours of video content, personalized insights, projected SAT scores, and a 24/7 generative AI tutor.

  5. Direct founder support

    After successful careers at Google and Gatorade, our founders are now fully dedicated to Amikka’s mission of democratizing education. You'll collaborate directly with them, leveraging their 15+ years of combined experience in the education space, to ensure optimal results for your students.

  6. Customized structure

    We offer a range of learning solutions and styles to cater to every organization's unique needs. Our 1-on-1 tutoring provides maximum personalization and accountability. Small group classes foster a collaborative and supportive learning environment. Amikka’s AI-powered digital platform offers exclusive practice resources and self-paced learning for complete flexibility.

  7. Affordable + accessible

    Amikka's founders struggled through the college admissions process. They understand how challenging it can be to prepare for the SAT and ACT, especially for first-generation and low-income students who typically navigate this process on their own. Our competitive pricing makes personalized education accessible to students of all backgrounds.

Christopher, a first-generation college student who couldn't afford expensive tutoring, spent hundreds of hours deconstructing the SAT on his own. After improving by 400 points and gaining admission to UPenn, Christopher dedicated his focus to building affordable SAT and ACT tutoring programs that have now helped over two thousand students.

Christian

Christian became the first student from his high school to attend UPenn. He tutored his classmates for the SAT, ACT, PSAT, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. After working as an essay editor for a university consulting company, Christian built Amikka's college advising program that's now helped our students earn over $25 million in total scholarships.

Blake Padgett, founder of Amikka MCAT and a current M.D. candidate, has successfully organized over 2,000 programs through Amikka in the past five years. These programs have significantly boosted students' test scores and facilitated their acceptance into their dream universities. Drawing on the challenges he faced while preparing for the MCAT and navigating the medical school application process, Blake established Amikka MCAT. His vision was to create a platform that offers highly individualized programs, recognizing the transformative impact of mentorship and personalized guidance.
