We wanted to thank you for the excellent tutoring provided by Jerry for our daughter for her SAT. He is a first class tutor with tremendous insight and knowledge. All of his advice and techniques paid off with excellent test scores for her. He made the process so much easier and his sense of humor provided a sense of levity.
Sam is modest and understands the subtleties of competitive applications to boarding schools. With Sam’s focused and insightful help, and time flexibility, our time-crunched son completed the exam with an overall SSAT score in the 95th percentile and with a much more competitive balance between Verbal and Quantitative.
My daughter did well on her ACT, a marked improvement from before taking your [Pre-Season ACT] class with Peter and Austin. She got a composite of 31! We are very pleased – she had months of private tutoring before we found you, and she never improved until your class. Thanks again.
Anya is a wonderful verbal SAT tutor. She tutored both my son and daughter. They only took the SAT once, scoring from 750 to 800. My children have different personalities, strengths, and learning/study styles. Anya easily adapted to these and made the time productive. Both my kids respected her and wanted to excel for her.
I just read the essay. Twice. I am beyond blown away and so moved. Authentic, powerful and real…Personal and serious. I love it so much and so does my daughter. What an incredible professor you must be.
You have always helped us with great tutors. Hunter is unparalleled in his approach and efficacy. He has an easy manner and communication style that my daughter responds to. We have given his name to most of her friends who will be studying AP Calculus AB next year. Many thanks to you both!
I took the ACT prep class, and I received my scores back from the September testing date. My composite score was a 31, which I am very pleased about! Thank you to Austin and Peter for helping me perfect my ACT skills and giving me so much study material to work with and useful test-taking techniques, it all paid off!
Lynn, Thank you so much for all of your help and advice! Sam was the best. Really I couldn’t say more positive things about working with her–if only everyone in my life were so conscientious, friendly, and diligent! We are delighted (and relieved) that the ISEE went well for our son, he worked really hard and I’m so glad it paid off for him. Thank you!
We are very happy that Juliana achieved her college objective. Kate was definitely a big part of that achievement! She was of great help as a tutor and is also an amazing person. Juliana loved working with her! We will be grateful for the rest of our lives.
Thanks so much for advising me to have S. take the SAT in May. She ended up re-taking it. Given that most schools superscore, she’ll be applying to colleges with scores of 800 and 800…not too bad. I so appreciate you taking the time to speak with me. It was well worth it, and she never would have done it had you and I not had that conversation.
I can’t say enough good things about my son’s tutoring experience with Carnegie Prep. His test scores went up significantly, but what I think is even more important, he went from feeling insecure and overwhelmed to having a level of confidence that has spread to his current studies as well. The pairing of Kate for English and Mike for math is a combo not to be beat. Their “you can do this” approach instills confidence and brings back pleasure to the learning process.
The SAT course was the key to unlocking his potential. This is a kid who truly struggled at school. His success will go far beyond easing the college application process. He is beginning to believe us when we tell him he can. His performance in all areas of life seems to be improving, and his confidence is growing. A parent could not ask for more.
We can’t thank you enough for recommending Max as a tutor for our son. Our son has so enjoyed working with him in preparation for the ACT and as of late, the PSAT. He is an outstanding tutor, both in his knowledge base and his interpersonal skills. He demonstrates an excellent balance of empathy for the student, encouragement toward the student, and exhortation to work hard.
Anya knows the ins and outs of the college process. My favorite part about having Anya as a tutor is how enthusiastic and encouraging she is. She provides just the right amount of constructive criticism, so I never feel like I lose my voice in my essays. She brings out the very best in the students she works with.
