Anya was an exceptional tutor for my son J. She cared about him in a way that almost felt like family. With her dedication, brilliance, cleverness and humor, my son bonded with her and did his best work. The test results were excellent. I cannot recommend her more highly.
Thanks so much, Lynn! You and Kyle have been such an incredible part of this journey and we cannot recommend you and him highly enough. Kyle is an outstanding tutor because of his incredible ability to teach but also because of his personality. He somehow combines being a teacher, advisor, and friend to both the students and parents in a way that makes the test process quite civilized.
I can’t tell you how happy I am with E.’s new super score after all of the hard work that she and Luke put into this past year. I had to drop a letter to you to let you know how wonderful and encouraging and patient Luke was. He is an absolute superstar! Luke really understood what she needed between her test anxiety and lower math/ science score and his combination approach and tactics for stress relief and focusing truly paid off. After having worked with another tutor prior to Luke I can say that he deserves all the praise. After each session that E. would complete with Luke he would send me a detailed report on what area was focused on and specific tailored homework for her to complete for the next session. It was winning, creative combination approach that was genius! All I can say is he was more than a tutor, he was a cheerleader, a creative problem solver and a teacher who TRULY cared. I can’t thank you enough for helping us to unlock E.’s potential by connecting us with Luke.
I just wanted to touch base to let you know that things are going very well with all of my son’s tutors. Hunter, in particular, has been incredible. He has tremendous insight into how to work with a learning-disabled student. He completely changed his strategy with my son when he was worried that my son’s frustrations would affect his moral. I am so impressed!
I just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with Emma. She has been working with our son for just a little over a month. You can read below that his initial score was a 25 before any tutoring. He took a second practice test on Saturday and scored a 28 overall with two 30’s.
Thank you Emma! We are excited!
A big thank you to the team, and in particular to Amelia and Peter. My son just got back his SAT results – a 2290 (730 Reading, 770 Math and 790 Writing). The communication, professionalism and availability of your team gave my son the skills and confidence he needed. There is no doubt I will use your classes with my other children!
Hey Austin,
So turns out I didn’t make any of those stupid mistakes on the math section for the SATs! I got an 800!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!
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 son got his SAT scores back: Critical Reading 740, Math 800, Writing 730. Austin did an amazing job getting him prepared! They went out of their way to spend extra time with him through phone calls and help after class and were genuinely concerned about his performance. Thanks again for all your continued help!
My son, who is a young man of very few words, was eager to tell us how helpful and intelligent Caroline was just after one session!!! She helped him master it!!!! He got a 36 in Math. She knew he could do it. She told him that every time they met. She was able to explain the strategies to him and raise his confidence level by leaps and bounds.
Rick was a great teacher and I mean really GREAT!! He loves what he does and is so inspiring!! H. had an excellent session and she really enjoyed working with him! Thank you so much for recommending him.
Our daughter’s SAT instructors, Ross and Rick, were terrific and continuously available to her for questions and encouragement. Austin did a great job with the ACT Blitz course. The proof is in the results — 700 on the Writing, 710 on the Critical Reading, and 760 on the Math. Her composite score on the ACT was 34!
The distance learning made the course a bit more challenging, but I really liked how the format and structure was basically the same as one that we would do in class, just on a computer.
Great news for B!!! He got a 33 (up from a 26 in Dec when he took it unprepped)!!!! We can’t thank you enough for all of your assistance…..you really have a great system with great prep materials – so glad that we made the effort to have B attend the session!! High five to Carnegie and all of its awesome tutors – you guys are amazing!!
The instructors’ knowledge and enthusiasm was instrumental; their emails were incredibly helpful, giving students a perfect guide to what should be happening at home between classes as well as in preparation for test day. It took the pressure off us as a family.
