The Business Behind Beating the SAT

This week on New York’s Business Podcast, I sit down with Nick LaPoma, (AKA NickTheTutor), founder of Curvebreakers Test Prep in Garden City, NY. Nick’s journey is unique—he went from being a top student and Division 1 soccer recruit, to a licensed attorney, to launching one of Long Island’s fastest-growing test prep companies.In this episode, we talk about:✔️ Why the college process is really an information battle, not just about grades and test scores✔️ How Nick negotiated hundreds of thousands in law school scholarships with one phone call✔️ The shift to the digital SAT and what that means for today’s students✔️ How Curvebreakers partners with schools, parents, and students to make prep affordable and accessible✔️ The role of social media in scaling his mission to reach students nationwideNick’s story is about more than test prep—it’s about leveling the playing field, using technology and knowledge to give students opportunities they might not otherwise have. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or business owner, there’s something in this episode for you.#NewYorksBusinessPodcast #Entrepreneurship #EducationBusiness #TestPrep #CollegeAdmissions #Curvebreakers #LongIslandBusiness
