Parents ask us

Your questions, answered honestly.

We built Strive because parents were paying $150 an hour for tutoring and had no idea if it was actually working.

"My kid says they're studying. How do I know that's true?"
You get a parent dashboard with every session logged — when they studied, what subject, how long, and how accurately they answered. You'll see the data before they tell you.
"Will my child actually use it, or will it sit unused?"
Strive uses a streak system and voice-first sessions that feel like a conversation, not homework. It's designed to keep students coming back — and if it doesn't fit, you can cancel anytime.
"How is this different from Khan Academy or prep books?"
Khan Academy is a library. Prep books are passive. Strive is a live tutor that teaches, asks questions, and adapts — like a $150/hour session, but at $30 a month.
"What if my child's score doesn't improve?"
Pro gives you full visibility — every session logged, accuracy tracked, and weekly progress reports so you always know how your child is doing.
"Is the AI accurate? Can I trust it to teach correctly?"
Strive is built on Claude by Anthropic — the same AI used by professionals worldwide. Content is grounded in official SAT and ACT material. Accuracy is the priority.
"My child is already behind. Is it too late?"
No. The diagnostic identifies exactly where they stand, and the study plan works backward from the test date. Even a few weeks of consistent practice moves the needle.
Four steps

From signup to higher score.

Your child does the work — you see the results.

1
Diagnostic assessment
Your child takes a quick diagnostic across all SAT or ACT subjects. They get a score estimate in minutes that builds a personalized study plan — and you see exactly where they stand.
2
Personalized study plan
Strive builds a week-by-week plan counting down to the test date. Each day has a clear task — no guessing, no wasted time.
3
Live tutor sessions
Your child talks to their tutor like a Zoom call. The tutor teaches, writes on the whiteboard, quizzes them, and adapts in real time.
4
You track everything
Your dashboard shows accuracy by subject, sessions completed, and score progression. Pro adds a weekly email every Sunday.
Why this matters

The SAT and ACT still matter.

Test-optional doesn't mean test-blind. Here's what every parent preparing their child for college should know.

Test-optional isn't test-irrelevant
Many top universities have returned to requiring or strongly considering SAT and ACT scores. A strong score still opens doors that grades alone cannot — especially at selective schools where test scores remain a major factor.
Preparation makes a measurable difference
Students who prepare consistently over several months tend to improve their scores meaningfully. The difference between an unprepared and prepared score can separate acceptance from waitlist at competitive schools.
When you start matters
The ideal preparation window is three to six months before test day. Starting earlier allows for practice tests, targeted improvement, and a retake if needed. Students who cram rarely see the same results.
Scholarships are tied to test scores
Many colleges offer significant merit aid based on SAT and ACT scores — often thousands of dollars per year. A score improvement can move a student into an entirely different scholarship bracket.
