Spring 2026 Newsletter
We are approaching spring (though not for a couple more weeks if the groundhog is to be believed)! Read this newsletter to learn about our new Get Ahead bootcamp series and information on spring and summer standardized tests.
We Moved!
At the end of 2025, we and our business moved to Charlotte, North Carolina! We have been so happy to put down new roots and are excited for the adventures to come, professionally and otherwise.
For those who may be wondering how this affects you: our working hours shifted in January to reflect our new time zone. We still have plenty of later hours to offer our west coast community, and we encourage you to reach out if you struggle to find times to schedule your sessions.
New Bootcamps Offered Over Spring Break
This year, we are piloting our new bootcamp series, Get Ahead. Here at Spokes, we have consistently noticed that students are struggling with the same critical topics:
- Foundational math
- Essay writing
- English language rules
- Executive functioning & organization
Achieving competency in these topics not only allows students to succeed academically but also alleviates overall academic stress and prepares students for major educational benchmarks.
In Get Ahead, students will meet individually with their assigned tutor 4 times during their spring break week at times of their choosing. Students will pick one bootcamp topic from the list above. Each topic has a specialized curriculum built around the most relevant and highest-impact knowledge. The aim of this series is to uplift students to feel confident, competent and, as the name suggests, ahead of these common academic roadblocks.
To find out more and share your interest, fill out the form below. Registration is limited and a student must be fully signed up one week prior to their spring break. A student doesn’t need to be a current client to participate.
Upcoming Test Dates and Study Guidelines
These are the upcoming ACT and SAT test dates. Register at least one month in advance.
SAT: March 14, May 2, June 6, August 22
ACT: April 11, June 13, July 11
We strongly encourage students to start testing in the second half of 11th grade and to study for 12 weeks before the test date. However, it’s not too late to prepare for spring 2026 tests. We provide accelerated test prep services to students testing this season. This is also a great time to start preparing for summer test dates!
