When my son took his practice SAT in your class last Friday, he improved his last fall PSAT score (closest thing he has in comparison) by 100 points. You guys are wonderful.
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!
Hi Austin,
I just wanted to thank you again for all your help with the SATs. Getting an 800 in Math was awesome! Those killer packets and plug-in-number strategies were great practice and I did not have any surprises during the test. Thanks again for making the SATs less stressful.
Wow, remote classroom learning worked really, really well for us. Kudos to you for being innovative, creative, and thinking outside the box to problem solve and implement such an enormous switch in a matter of days!
Jerry, your mothers direction and support from day one with subject test strategy, pairing my son with Caroline for ACT prep and essay editing, you coming out of retirement to share your wisdom, providing a few other amazing tutors for the little extra push, and suggesting we find an outside counselor that’s a fit were all individual acts that amounted to something big!!!!
Dan was very generous with his time (gave me 2-plus hours each time despite charging me for only 1.5 hours) and called me multiple times to check in. The Skype didn’t seem to make any difference, and I greatly appreciated his his time and his interest in helping me improve on the LSAT. Dan has an unparalleled level of enthusiasm.
Dear Duane,
I wanted to reach out and thank you for your revisions and comments on my two practice ACT Writing prompts over the summer. I am proud to say that I received an 11/12 on the writing portion of the test! Thank you again for you time and support. Without your help my score would not have been as strong!
Lynn, thank you for your advice! Your classes helped our son win the maximum National Merit Scholarship for all four years at Northwestern. We are so grateful!
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.
Thanks so much for recommending Duane. My son just received his scores: 800s in both the Reading and Writing sections! Duane is a wealth of info about these SAT sections; we feel lucky to have had access to his wisdom. J says that Duane knows what’s important on the test and is able to break down the process and make it seem simple.
Every student’s needs will be different, and Lynn Carnegie and Carnegie Prep show the ability to rapidly adapt SAT/SSAT tutoring to each individual student, with kindly encouragement, practicality, cost-effectiveness, and making it all seem almost easy!
My daughter did so well with Jesse (an 800 on her Math Level 2!!!). He has done an amazing job building her confidence. I can’t say enough. In fact, my daughter said the saddest part about being done is that eventually she will have to give Jesse up. She is taking AP Multivariable Calc next year just to keep him!
Allison was terrific! Can’t say enough. Professional, smart, kind, and on time.
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.
