How to Get a Head Start on Fall Semester

How to Get a Head Start on Fall Semester Summer is in full swing, but the first day of school will be here before you know it! Here at AJ Tutoring, we are working with thousands of students over the summer to prepare for upcoming tests like the PSAT, SAT, and ACT; to enrich understanding of core subjects like chemistry, math and US History; and to deep dive into a host of diverse curricula that you can learn more about here.
