Websites that getparents to enroll.
Korean parents research academies meticulously — tutor credentials, past SAT scores, Ivy League placements, schedule flexibility. The website is where the decision gets made. We build academy sites that answer every question a parent has before the phone call.
What's breakingright now.
Four patterns we fix in every engagement in your industry. If any of them sound familiar — we can solve them together.
Invisible in "SAT tutor near me"
Korean parents search in English AND Korean. Most academy sites only rank for one.
No proof = no trust
Past SAT score charts, college acceptance lists, student testimonials. Parents need hard data to commit.
Schedule confusion kills enrollment
Summer intensives, school-year sessions, mock tests — each has its own calendar. A site has to make it easy.
Parents want to text, not fill forms
A one-tap SMS or KakaoTalk link beats a contact form. Korean parents close the form, pick up the phone.
Every site weship includes.
The common features this industry actually needs. Included in every engagement — not "add-on packages" or "upgrades".
