I just wanted to thank you guys so much for all you’ve done for me during the SAT course. Throughout the SAT course, you guys have been so incredibly helpful in preparing me for the test. Even in a group class, you managed to make us feel like it was a one on one session, and for that, I cannot thank you enough.
I have been meaning to write you to thank you for helping J. out. The fact that he is willing to go and then put in the effort at home is amazing! Especially right after exams, etc. You told him what his teachers have said in his report card for the last several years – but only when you said it that it seemed to resonate with him.
After attending several of Kristen’s SAT prep courses, I can confidently say that she is an absolutely fantastic teacher. Kristen’s clear lesson plan and engaging personal style make learning vocabulary a breeze. Moreover, her friendly demeanor engenders trust within her students, which serves to keep them engaged and motivated.
Thanks for all your support. You have a great team, and we will be back with our youngest in a few years :).
Thank you, Sam! I was struggling in AP Statistics and after just a few meetings with Sam, my grade in the class rose significantly. Additionally, he did a great job of preparing me for the AP test itself. I felt like I had a really good grasp on the material and his help made the AP much easier than I initially anticipated.
Our daughter is loving these classes! She says you all know her by name, she feels super supported, she says you all are so engaging and make the work so interesting, and she is doing so well! Thank you for everything. There is nothing in the world more valuable than teachers that inspire and motivate students and make them excited to learn!
We spoke last summer about engaging a private tutor to work with our son. You recommended a couple and we engaged Cormac. I want you to know that Cormac was a fantastic recommendation! We’ve just gotten back his ACT score – a 33! Cormac was diligent and very patient, especially good at coming up with different approaches when our son was having a hard time absorbing a concept.
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.
Dear Amelia:
Your support and solid teaching helped L. get through the SAT and knock it out of the park. Thank you, thank you for what you did for L. in the classroom. Speaking from a mother’s point of view, I am very, very proud of him and very grateful for your help guiding him through the SAT test-taking process. You guys are invaluable.
Dan, I ended up getting an 5. So much of the stuff was outside of what we covered in my Physics class so the course helped me a ton. Thanks so much.
I have great news! I have accepted my admission to Yale’s Class of 2020! I am very excited about this, as I know Yale is the best fit for me. I can’t thank you and the other Carnegie heroes enough. I really couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. John, Rick, Marshall — you guys rock.
R. was accepted early to the University of Pennsylvania. We’ve been very happy with the quality of your programs, the comprehensive nature of your offerings, and your responsiveness. Even though it was a very stressful time, I would say that our boys often enjoyed your classes. You have a talented group of teachers working for you.
I wanted to thank you for recommending Caroline to us for my son. We are all walking around our house on cloud nine!!! Today his scores were released. We are so proud to tell you that he ended up with a 34. He went up 4 points just by having 5 sessions with Caroline. Without you this would not have been possible.
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.
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!
