WHO WE ARE
Score Higher Tutoring is a dedicated cohort of experienced tutors who provide bespoke SAT preparation.
At Score Higher, our objective is to bring out the best in your student.
We believe that every student is unique. As educators, our responsibility is to identify and serve the specific needs of each student.
We acknowledge that the college admissions process, including the SAT, can be stressful. We provide accurate, detailed information to alleviate stress.
We celebrate the whole student, not just the test-taker. Our tutors share knowledge, tactics to increase discipline, and effective strategies that a student can utilize both in and out of the classroom.
MEET OUR TEAM
Nick Chase
Owner, Lead Educator
Nick Chase spent over a decade working in the public and private school systems of New York City. Additionally, he offered private tutoring services to high school students. His experience has made him sensitive to students’ needs in potentially stress-inducing test-taking situations. His goal as an educator is to not only relay information, but also to identify the unique way in which each learner absorbs information. No two students are alike, and he strives to identify how to best teach each learner. In addition to his work as an educator, Nick is a published journalist, playwright and screenwriter. His work has been seen on a number of venerable New York stages, including The Public Theater. He currently serves as Artistic Director of Production and Education at Boulder’s Local Theater Company.
