About Us

At Growth Wise, we’re passionate about helping students unlock their potential and achieve their college dreams. Founded by Harvard graduate and test-prep expert James Treadway, our mission is to make SAT and ACT prep both accessible and effective for students everywhere.

After over 20 years of tutoring, James realized something crucial: the most effective study method—flashcards—was being overlooked. With no high-quality flashcards tailored for test prep, he decided to create his own. What started as a simple solution that James hand-crafted for each of his students has grown into a trusted resource for thousands of students across the country.

Why Flashcards?

We believe flashcards are the best way to study for the SAT and ACT, and here’s why:

  • Brain-Friendly Learning: Flashcards tap into how your mind learns best—through focused repetition and incremental improvement. With no distractions and constant exposure to small challenges, flashcards outperform apps, study guides, and even most tutoring.
  • Efficient and Effective: Our flashcards are designed to teach content and strategy simultaneously, making them more comprehensive, targeted, and efficient than other resources.
  • Cost-Effective: High-quality test prep shouldn’t break the bank. Compared to tutoring or courses, our flashcards deliver superior results at a fraction of the cost.

And the results speak for themselves: Our students see an average ACT score increase of 7+ points and 150+ points on the SAT. Plus, every product comes with a point-raise guarantee, giving you confidence in your investment.

Old-School Approach, Modern Success

At Growth Wise, we believe that education has drifted too far from the fundamentals. Memorization of grammar rules and math formulas—essential skills for the SAT and ACT—has been undervalued in today’s open-book, shortcut-driven learning environments. We’re bringing back tried-and-true methods, and the results speak for themselves.
