TESTIMONIALS

I thought the class was helpful. I learned how we should take the SATs. At times it went a little bit fast, but I got it in the end. The class got a little easier as time went on. The work got harder, but felt easier. The Skinny was helpful with the homework. The homework wasn’t as bad to do as the first class. The only time it was a little hard was when we did some problems on the board. I felt like it was just going to fast for me to keep up with. Other than that I thought it was good. 8/13/19 Update (Second time in class) This class has taught me so much more than how to get better scores on the SAT. Well my scores have improved tremendously, I’ve learned a lot about how to look at the exam and other things in life. My scores shut up along with my knowledge of myself and how I work. I learned that I am capable of doing something I hate and I can actually do well at it if I try hard enough. Thank you Marley and Matt for giving me a better learning experience in these past few years in my 16 years at Ranney :-) Fatima Ahmad

I feel that this class was very helpful. I learned a lot of tricks in how to attack problems in both math and verbal. I also thought I learned how to be quicker and more efficient. Also, I thought it helped me on my writing and grammar because I was weak when entering this class. After taking the verbal class, my grammar went up tremendously and the tricks I learned really help. After this class, all of my subjects have been easier and I feel much better about the SATs. This class was overall helpful.

After taking this class for six weeks, I feel as though I got a lot out of it. Regarding the English parts, I feel like I’ve definitely learned how to read passages quicker well being able to better understand the main points of the passage/the skeleton. I also found that the technique where you read the quotes for the two part questions first, then go back and answer the first question, helpful as well. Regarding the math section of this class-while it wasn’t at all like I expected it to be, it definitely helped out as well. I think in general doing the problems and parents helped significantly. I also liked how, on every Thursday, Matt would go over problems that we needed help with, as though we weren’t sitting and being taught a lesson per se, we learned how to do certain problems better. Like in the English parts, Matt also taught us techniques for getting through certain types of problems, which I found helped. Overall, I feel I got a lot out of this class and hopefully I will be able to apply all I learned there on the test itself.

Going into this SAT prep course, I didn’t know what to expect, especially with me being a Senior. I took the SAT test four times prior to signing up for this class because I wasn’t happy with my score. After the first English and math lesson, I already felt more comfortable with conquering the evil test. Marlee was amazing with breaking down the English section and teaching us helpful techniques to boost our scores. She was super caring and hilarious and made the 2 1/2 hour class amusing. I was amazed by my practice test score after following strategies and felt more confident about taking the real SAT. Matt did an outstanding job with making the math easier and fairly more enjoyable. Even with the homework every week was hard, Matt pushed our abilities and challenged us to defeat any difficult test question. Not only has this course taught me the techniques of taking the SAT, but how to be a better test taker in general. Thank you so much for always putting a smile on my face and making me feel confident about beating the SAT.

When I realized that I had to take the SAT again, I instantly became discouraged I thought that there would be nothing to help me improve my score. Over the past six weeks, I’ve started to feel more and more confident about the test. I never thought that I would be able to achieve my goal of increasing my score. I know that going into Saturday I will feel more confident than ever and use the strategies I’ve learned throughout the duration of this class. Thank you Marlee and Matt for all of your help and for guiding me onto the path that I wanted to be on. I am positive that my score is going to be better than it ever was in the past.

I came into this class with scores it wasn't so happy about and I knew this class would change them. You guys tell me all the little things I never knew about the SAT and how to beat it. Even though there was a ton of work for homework, doing it helped me improve my skills for the SAT. Thank you for all the great methods to use during the SAT.

I feel like both the English and Math classes helped me understand the SAT. I have a lot of trouble in Math and Matt helped me understand for the SAT and in school. Thank you both very much for everything!!!

-Wish there were more classes for the math just because there is a lot to touch up on. -Barron's sucks but I understand that it is necessary. -Great snacks! -Very good experience, I liked being treated as an equal and not as naïve child. -You guys are very nice and understanding. :-)

I thought the class was over all super beneficial and I really enjoyed learning in such a comfortable environment with great teachers. Marlee and Matt did an excellent job instructing and showing us to beat the SAT. I definitely enjoyed my time at WaveLength and would recommend them to others.

My experience with Marlee was the best, I have only had two tutors in my life. She was by far the best. She got the information that I had to get across across in a funny way while making it fun. She helped me move over 200 points on my Critical Reading. By far the best tutor I have had and I will be forever grateful for the information she has given me.
