In the ever-changing world of education and test preparation, Zinkerz continues to evolve to meet the shifting needs of our students. This year, we revisited our core mission — to provide every learner with a personalized, impactful educational experience — and redefined our vision: to help students Dream, Learn, Grow, and Rise to Their Potential.
Our Mission: No “One Size Fits All” Education
Since day one, our mission has been clear — open doors for students around the world and help them achieve their full potential. We know that no two learners are the same. Each brings unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles.
Our role is to discover what motivates each student and channel that energy into a customized learning plan. By tailoring our approach, we set students on a path toward their ambitions — whether that means scoring higher on the SAT, getting into their dream college, or developing new academic skills.
From a Single App to a Global Education Platform
When Zinkerz launched in 2013, our founders had a simple goal: make quality test preparation accessible worldwide. We started with a self-guided test prep app for the SAT, ACT, and TOEFL, using a unique algorithm to customize study plans based on each student’s needs.
It worked — students achieved higher scores and built confidence. But we quickly realized that students needed more than just great study materials. They needed personalized support.
Expanding Beyond Test Prep
We added college counseling services to guide students through every stage of the application process — from school selection to essay advice to organizing deadlines. Then we introduced live, one-on-one lessons with expert educators, allowing us to track progress closely and provide instant feedback.
Our growth didn’t stop there. We expanded our offerings to include:
-
AP courses across multiple subjects
-
Fundamentals courses for skill building
-
Homework help for all grade levels
-
Coding courses for beginners and advanced students
-
Support for graduate school applicants
Building a Strong, Diverse Team
Today, Zinkerz is powered by academic coordinators, expert teachers, experienced college counselors, and a dedicated tech team. Together, we create a platform that’s easy to use, flexible, and student-focused.
Our twice-yearly Zinkerz Camps bring students together for intensive test prep and hands-on learning. In Boston, campers also enjoy college tours, cultural excursions, and the chance to build friendships that last a lifetime.
Dream. Learn. Grow. Rise to Your Potential.
These aren’t just words for us — they’re the guiding principles behind everything we do. We exist to help students break past limitations, unlock opportunities, and gain the skills to succeed in school, college, and life.
No matter how education changes, Zinkerz will keep adapting to give students every opportunity to succeed. Our journey is ongoing, and we’re proud to take it alongside the learners we serve.
