Tutoring by students who just did it.

One-on-one SAT, AP, and college essay help on Zoom, led by Zenub Umer: 1580 SAT, admitted to multiple Ivy League universities.

Packages starting at $70 an hour.

Services

Three ways we help students succeed.

Every session is live and one-on-one on Zoom, with a tutor who just went through it.

SAT / ACT Prep

A diagnostic-first approach, engineered around your target score.

AP Courses

Year-round support for AP coursework, plus focused prep for the spring exam.

College Counseling

From building your list to hitting submit, expert guidance at every step.

Why a person, not a program

AI can explain a math problem. It can’t notice your student is stuck, nervous, or quietly giving up. It can’t tell you when they skipped practice, and it won’t care when they finally get a 5.

Umer Prep is student-led on purpose. Our tutors are college students who just went through the SAT, AP exams, and applications, so they teach what works now, not what worked a decade ago. Every session is live, one-on-one, and built around your student.

Real accountability.

A parent check-in after every session.

Real experience.

Tutors who were in your student’s seat a few years ago.

Real voice.

Essay help that brings out your student’s story, never an AI draft.

We teach students to use AI tools wisely—as a study aid, never as a substitute for their own thinking or writing.

+330 points on the SAT

Siddharth went from a 1230 to a 1560 on the SAT working with Zen. Every session was focused, personalized, and actually enjoyable, and the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Parent of Siddharth

5 on AP Chemistry · Dramatic grade improvement

Zen tutored both of my kids in chemistry, and the results speak for themselves. My son Ari earned a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam, and my daughter Zoe improved her chem grade dramatically. Zen explains difficult concepts clearly, is patient, and genuinely cares about each student’s success. I’d highly recommend Umer Prep to any family!

Gelena, parent of two

From failing 6th grade math to a specialized STEM high school

My son didn’t like math in 6th grade. We decided to get a tutor. When we found Zen, everything changed. He started to get better grades and came home with a 100% test. Now my son goes to a math and science specialized high school in New York, where he is one of the best in class! Zen is kind, firm and a true professional. Thank you Zen!
