Ravi Bhatia

Ravi Bhatia founded Ashland Prep in 2019, assembling a small, highly selective team of tutors distinguished not only by top-percentile academic performance but also by strong emotional intelligence. Drawing on his experience at traditional test prep companies, Ravi leads Ashland with the belief that most students don’t struggle due to a lack of ability, but rather from difficulty performing under pressure. At its core, Ashland focuses on helping students identify and manage their fight-or-flight response in high-stakes situations. Through this approach, students build stronger test-taking strategies, improve stress management, and gain deeper self-awareness. Based in Venice Beach, Ashland offers both group test preparation and one-on-one tutoring, available in person and online.
