Founded by Jesuit High School alumni, Academic Impact is committed to the Jesuit tradition of educating the whole person and approaches tutoring and college counseling with an emphasis on the Jesuit value of "cura personalis" (care for the entire person). Academic Impact pairs students with dynamic tutors who serve as role models and provide academically rigorous, personalized, in-home tutorial services.
The college application process presents a valuable opportunity for students to reflect on their lives and make exciting decisions about the future. Taking standardized tests seems to be right up there with writing essays as the most dreaded part of the college admissions process. The tests are a great idea in theory.

About
Report
In 2008, four Jesuit High School alums collaborated to create Academic Impact and provide personalized, academically rigorous tutoring. Brian Geremia and Brent Pottenger (both Jesuit '02) tutored full-time for nearly three years, recruiting a small network of trusted tutors and working with students and families throughout the Sacramento area on subject-specific tutoring, test preparation, and college admissions essays.
Tutoring
Report
We pair students with dynamic Sacramento tutors who serve as role models and provide personalized tutoring services. Every student is different: some breeze through algebra, but struggle with geometry; some love English, but find U.S. History daunting; others become overwhelmed with an honors or AP class or overburdened by a demanding class schedule.
Test Prep
Report
We pair students with talented test prep tutors to maximize performance on standardized tests. For better or worse, standardized testing is part of the American educational system.
Whether it's the state-mandated California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress ("CAASPP"), admissions exams like the High School Placement Test ("HSPT"), SAT, and ACT, or competency assessments like the California Bar Exam, students must become familiar with test-taking strategies in order to excel.
