TESTIMONIALS

I have had so much fun showing up to class every week. I've learned the test strategy and simple steps to conquering the SAT which I feel I couldn't have done without. Both Marlee and Matt were fun and very wise teachers. When I went to Matt every Thursday I knew I wasn't only reviewing math but taking a philosophy course. I loved it! Marlee is awesome and funny. She has a great way of showing you how to arrive at correct answers and crossing out the bad ones. Teachers like Matt and Marlee are extremely hard to come by.

Hey Matt! You told me to email you when I got my SAT's back! SOOOOOOOO here they are. I got a 1500 and a 2160...so its a 790 in critical reading, 710 in math, and 660 in writing, which is pretty horrible about the writing but i'm over it. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH! This could legit be the best day of my whole life; I am never taking them again! but my mom actually wants me to take them again because my college counselor said that they're not good enough to get into Columbia, so I was going to ask your opinion?? Thanks!! and THANKS again!

When I began working with Matt and Marlee at Wavelength, the SAT was the most intimidating hurdle of my college process. I knew the scores I needed to achieve to be accepted into my first choice college, but the gap between where I was and where I needed to be seemed impossible to bridge. Immediately, they were able to recognize my strengths and weaknesses. Matt helped me to simplify the math problems by recognizing patterns that I could see; the questions became easier, and I learned that the errors I made were silly mistakes in my own work. “Trust your process, not your work,” is a strategy that I now implement in all aspects of my life. Similarly, Marlee helped me to create a systemized approach to the reading and English sections of the SAT, that not only helped me to achieve my scores but also enriched my learning and understanding of literature in all other aspects of school and life. The most meaningful part of my experience with WaveLength is that I have now have mentors, not just for my SAT, but for life. The lessons Matt and Marlee taught me are ones that I will carry with me and apply to my studies at Dartmouth College in the fall of 2016.

I definitely thought that this class was worth the time, and the test taking strategies will undoubtedly be a lot of help. I finally found a new way to look at previously impossible SAT math problems and I don’t get caught up in all the crappy details of the verbal passages anymore. Matt and Marlee, you guys are awesome people.

I feel that you guys run a great class. You show us that the SAT is not as hard as it seems. I wouldn’t of wanted any other SAT class other then this one. I am very confident that I will do well on my SAT’s because this class has helped me out a lot. I am very happy that I chose this class. Thank you Matt and Marlee

I believe that the ACT tutoring helped me in many ways. Without Andrea’s help, I would have been lost come test day. I have improved greatly and appreciate everything she has done!

I liked the way Matt would keep everyone involved and come into class with the attitude that he wants to be there and try to get everyone to do better and progress. He and Marlee both shared helpful tips and SAT habits that would help me. I would not have done as well on the test if I did not take this class. I felt that my writing and critical reading scores jumped a lot because of Marlee and I also think that with Matts help I was able to work out some of the kinks in my math. He helped motivate me and so did Marlee.

I believe I have learned a lot during these classes. There was a lot of tricks and test techniques that I learned that really helped me out on the SAT. Also, this class changed the way I think about the test. Thank you Matt and Marlee

Dear WaveLength tutoring and test prep, It is difficult to know where to begin recommending someone you admire. Marlee’s influence and instruction this past year have been vital in my growth as a student and as a person. As an athlete, I learned early that confidence was central for success. Before meeting Marlee however, I only really had confidence in myself as an athlete. She helped me realize that I had talents, and abilities outside of swimming. This new self-assurance aided me on the SAT’s as well as in my writing on my college applications and in my classes. Thank you, Marlee! Sincerely,

I just want to thank you guys in advance for everything I’ve learned over the last 6 weeks; mainly about my test habits and what I need to change to achieve my goals. That sounded super cheesy when I re-read that but it’s true.
