Four Convenient Locations
Offices in Newton, Lexington, Wellesley, and Weston — plus in-home tutoring throughout Greater Boston and online options for families anywhere.
Prepped and Trained℠ Tutors
Our proprietary certification program means every tutor is rigorously vetted and trained to the standards that Prepped and Polished families expect.
Detailed Session Reports
After every session, families receive a written report covering what was covered, what was mastered, and where the student still needs work.
Built from Personal Experience
Alexis Avila founded Prepped and Polished in 1999 after experiencing firsthand the impact of dedicated, one-to-one mentorship during his own education. Frequently quoted by U.S. News & World Report, Alexis built P&P around a single belief: every student deserves individualized attention from an educator who is passionate about their success.
"We envisioned an independent educational service run entirely by educators whose passion for education acts as the primary driving force."
Founder & CEO Alexis Avila has been recognized among the most influential leaders of color in the Greater Boston community — a reflection of P&P's commitment to every student it serves.
