About Us
Owner and founder, Patrick Minnihan, has been teaching prep classes for more than 20 years. During that time, he has personally helped over 40,000 students take the ACT and SAT tests and advance to college. Patrick attended Princeton University and graduated with an Economics degree. He also received his MBA from Emory University, where he graduated Beta Gamma Sigma.
His staff includes many presenters who have a wealth of knowledge and experience to help students, not only prepare for the ACT and SAT, but also teach them skills that can prepare them for high school and beyond. With varying backgrounds ranging from attorneys to former guidance counselors, Sycamore Learning Company ensures students receive the best instruction possible from highly educated presenters.
Although Sycamore Learning Company has offices outside of Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas, it hosts workshops at schools all across the country. Sycamore Learning Company offers workshops in the Spring, Summer, and Fall to help students prepare for their tests throughout the year.
