ABOUT
MEET OUR TEAM
In a world of standardized tests, large test prep corporations profit from desperate high school students who want to ace their next test. However, the resulting privilege gap negatively affects those who cannot afford this extra tutoring.
Ace of Grades provides free and easily-accessible online resources and personal tutoring for all. Our curriculum is made by students for students, so we truly understand the struggles and resources needed to succeed in school. We promote educational materials including videos, review sheets, flashcards, links, and chat rooms. Our goal is to enrich students’ lives with the tools necessary to put everyone on a level playing field. ​
