Premium academic support for ambitious Bay Area students. Structured courses, year-round Math Studio, and personal mentorship — built for students who want to go further.



Structured courses for scheduled group learning. Math Studio for year-round math mastery. Personal Mentorship for students who need a plan and someone to hold them to it.
Math Studio is an ongoing academic lab for middle and high school students — placement-based, mastery-first, and designed for students who need more than a worksheet to actually understand math. Inspired by the best of Mathnasium, RSM, and Singapore Math, but built for the rigor of high school and beyond.
Academic coaching is for students who need more than instruction — they need a plan, a system, and someone who holds them accountable. This is strategic, personal, and ongoing.
The Prep House Pass gives your student unlimited access to structured courses, Math Studio, and personal mentorship — at one founding rate available to early families only.
Cohort courses run each academic term. Math Studio and Coaching are available throughout the year. The Prep House Pass gives you access to it all — every term, every session, every break intensive.
The difference between students who thrive and those who plateau usually isn't intelligence — it's structure, confidence, and the right environment. We've been building that since 2004.

Built for families who want more than homework help. We help students build skills, systems, confidence, and direction — led by a founding team of educators, counselors, and academic mentors.
Prep House was founded by a team that has spent two decades building academic programs and coaching high-achieving students — across multiple institutions, programs, and communities.
We built Prep House for families who want more than tutoring: serious instruction, stronger systems, better academic habits, and a peer environment that raises the bar. Current in-person programming is available in select markets, with live online and hybrid options allowing families across listed cities to access Prep House instruction and coaching.
Educators, counselors, and community builders — with two decades of combined experience placing students into top universities.

Adam Taufeek has spent over 20 years teaching and coaching students in San Francisco, San Diego, and New York City. His work spans test preparation, advanced math instruction through AP Calculus, curriculum design, and academic coaching for high-achieving middle and high school students. He built Prep House to bring that experience together under one premium academic development studio — for families who want more than a tutoring franchise.
Zak Hamdani brings a college admissions background to Prep House — he has worked in college admissions and understands how enrollment decisions are made from the inside. At Prep House, he leads community partnerships, marketing, enrollment operations, and parent outreach, with a focus on connecting the program to Bay Area families who need it most.

Sam Emara is an academic counselor and advisor who has guided students at a prestigious New York City high school through every stage of the college process — from course selection and standardized testing to application strategy and essay development. His students have gone on to attend Ivy League universities and top colleges across the country. He brings that same precision and care to his work with Prep House families.

Final placement depends on student level, location, and cohort availability. Additional sections may open based on demand. Math Studio runs on a flexible recurring schedule and is not tied to the cohort timetable above.
Coaching is for students who need more than instruction. They need a plan, a system, and someone who holds them to it. Academic coaching sessions are 1-on-1, focused on long-term trajectory, and include parent strategy updates after every session.
