About Us

Novella Prep motivates and teaches students how to achieve their academic potential with improved grades, increased test scores, and helps them prepare to be considered for admission into the best-fitting colleges through proven holistic methods. We deep dive into helping students perform at their academic best by starting from the inside — before investing time and resources into academic or test prep tutoring. Our proven holistic method (Retention, Relationships, and Responsibility) empowers students to be the author of their own plan, incorporating smart tutoring in ways that are far more effective and efficient.
