Presented by Angelica Harris,
Founder & CEO at Top Tutors for Us

"Only 3% of Black students hit the ACT college readiness benchmark, according to the Journal of Blacks in Higher Education. I created Top Tutors for Us so that Black students could finally have a test prep company that's made for them. Our tutors reflect our community by inspiring our students and improving their overall skills."
