Since 2008, Advantage Testing of Los Angeles has served the Los Angeles and the greater Southern California scholastic communities. Through our outstanding educational services, thousands of students have accomplished their academic and professional goals.
We develop individually tailored programs that complement each student’s schoolwork, helping them achieve success. Our students' ages range from six to sixty: we offer tutoring for independent and selective public high school and middle school admissions exams, including the ISEE, the SSAT, and the HSPT; for college and graduate school admissions exams; and for a range of academic subjects.
Advantage Testing of Los Angeles maintains tutoring offices in Century City, Santa Monica, Sherman Oaks, Torrance, and Pasadena, providing our students accessible and excellent learning environments. Some of our tutors can travel to students' homes, and all of our tutors can teach long-distance, having successfully instructed students throughout the country and the world. Contact us to discuss your tutoring options.
Each year, our tutors help countless students from families of limited means through our active financial assistance program. We have also partnered with local non-profit programs, teaching college preparatory classes for students in underserved communities.
To best serve our community of learners during these challenging times, we are excited to introduce ATLA Foundations: Introduction to Advanced Coursework. These boot-camp style online courses provide a foundational introduction to advanced academic classes, preparing students to start out strong in their AP, IB, CAS, and other high-level coursework.
