About

• Ages: 5–18 years old
All C2 services are available in person, online, or in a hybrid format. Sessions are led by subject-matter experts who understand local curricula, course sequencing, and grading expectations. C2’s certified counselors are specially trained to maximize each student’s potential for admission to a top college. Each student receives personalized test prep, tutoring, and college counseling through one plan that is built for that student and delivered either online or in-center. Test prep plans start with a full diagnostic test and a clear target score, and the initial diagnostic test provides a baseline assessment of strengths and weaknesses used to personalize the approach. Instruction includes expert teaching, timed practice, and real-time feedback, and instruction adapts to the student’s needs. C2 tutoring supports K–12 students across core subjects while also focusing on building stronger study habits and confidence. C2’s certified counselors create a custom roadmap for the college application process, and each comprehensive program is designed to best support each individual student’s journey to college. Programs are face-to-face and personalized, and are not an 8-week class with 20 students or a series of online videos watched on demand.
C2 Education was founded 25 years ago in a Harvard University dorm room by David Kim and Jim Narangajavana. Since 1997, C2 has grown from that Harvard dorm room to over 135 centers in 15 states and Canada. The organization reports being trusted by more than 10,000 families nationwide every year. Its stated mission is that C2 believes in its students and in their potential for greatness, takes students toward their dreams, and helps students and their families benefit from a better education, now and always.
C2 Education lists a 94% top college acceptance rate, more than 22,000 dream college acceptances, and $140 million in scholarships from 2020–2025. In the last five years, C2 students have received over 25,000 dream college acceptances and over $180 million in scholarship offers, and C2 reports that its students have achieved some of the highest test scores in the country.
Parent and student testimonials describe individual experiences with the program. One student, Charitra P., a National Merit Scholarship Finalist who attended Emory University, states that C2 teachers broke down concepts that were hard to understand, reviewed mistakes before moving on, and that this attention to detail made Charitra feel more confident and ready for standardized testing. Another student, Sophia C. from Princeton University, reports that C2 tailored teaching to individual needs and interests and provided additional study materials and guidance, and credits C2 with scoring an 800 on both the writing and critical reading sections of the SAT. A third student, Benjamin D., who earned a 34 on the ACT and a 4.4 cumulative GPA, states that C2 improved study habits, and reports admission to the University of California, Berkeley as a Regents’ and Chancellor’s scholar (top 2% of the incoming class), describing this success as directly tied to C2.
