Anyone familiar with this? I was watching the sitcom "Splitting Up Together" and it was mentioned in passing. I had never heard of it before.

Yes. I don't know as it's all that different from any tutoring setup other than being widely available and standardized. Neighbors sent their daughter there. She wasn't thrilled - studies and homework was a bone of contention between them - but it probably helped to some extent. The biggest problem was that good grades were culturally required so as not to fall behind in comparison with her cousins both of whose parents were physicians. (The family was from India.)
