Description
Test prep tutoring is very expensive and a lot of people don't have those resources. This week, I'm joined by Kathryn Zheng, the founder of Sparky Prep. Sparky Prep is an online peer tutoring program where high school students tutor other high school students on the SAT, ACT, APs, and other academic subjects. I talk about why Kathryn started the organization, how it works, and what she thinks about the value of standardized tests.  Check out the show notes for links to more helpful information - http://bit.ly/aupod60 Follow us on social media -  Twitter - twitter.com/aupodfm Facebook - facebook.com/admissions.uncovered  Instagram - instagram.com/admissions.uncovered Subscribe to the podcast -  iTunes/Apple devices - bit.ly/aupodapple Android devices - bit.ly/aupoddroid --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/admissionsuncovered/support
