Only the Best of the Best
Founder and Academy Instructor Karl Francel
The Olympia Prep programs are different because of the people bringing them to life: our incredible instructors.
Every student has a private mentor and private tutor at Olympia Prep. We select the most exceptional talent to teach our courses and connect with students; every Olympia Prep instructor has scored in the top 1% in the world of all standardized ACT/SAT/PSAT test-takers. They’re given intensive training, and have an intrinsic passion for raising test scores. Most of them went to college for free because of these tests and want to help others follow in their footsteps./
Our live online Academy offers live instruction by founder and curriculum-writer Karl Francel. Karl developed Olympia Prep’s test score improvement strategies as he raised his score from a 29 to a perfect 36 on the ACT in high school. After 15+ years of improving these strategies further through data, new technologies, and incredible feedback from students and his team, he’s thrilled to personally work with every Olympia Prep student that joins today!

Motivation Beyond a Score
Over time, we have discovered that the real trick to beating standardized tests isn’t based on any testing strategy you can find in a book. The trick is whether or not you can motivate high school students. Even more, motivate them to become passionate about standardized tests and academics in general. Our solution to this problem is simple, if difficult to execute or replicate. It starts with respecting the student’s time. They’re forced to do a lot, and showing them that this is the fastest, most efficient way for them to help their own futures is step one. And the real secret sauce to this motivation formula is our incredible mentors.
Our young, enthusiastic instructors have been successful in motivating students in a way that your average teacher or counselor struggles to replicate. Olympia Prep instructors continue to provide mentorship and guidance long after their test prep course is over. The journey through higher education can be a daunting one. There’s no greater support for the challenge than that given by someone who has recently succeeded at the task and wants to motivate others to follow in their footsteps.
