Prepped and Polished, Tutoring, Test Preparation, and Executive Function Coaching – Wellesley

Prepped and Polished’s Wellesley office is one of four locations for the Greater Boston tutoring company, which focuses on individual instruction. Services include subject tutoring, SAT, ACT, ISEE and SSAT preparation, executive function coaching and guidance through the college admissions process. Each student works one-to-one with a tutor; the company does not run group sessions, a founding promise it says it has kept for more than 25 years.

Founder Alexis Avila launched Prepped and Polished in 1999, drawing on his own experience with dedicated mentorship as a student. Parents stay informed through a written progress report after every session, covering what was taught, how the student performed and the next steps. The company uses its own proprietary curriculum, and families can choose office, in-home or online sessions depending on schedule and location.
