TESTIMONIALS

As parents we want the best for our children and agonize over decisions that impact their education and shape their future. The college application process is the pinnacle of parental and student angst. But what if I told you that it doesn’t have to be and can actually be stress free and enjoyable for you and your child? Or that the SAT’s and other standardized testing can be mastered and your student will come to view these tests as a competition between themselves and the test makers? Sounds crazy, right? Well it’s not. I can honestly say through personal experience with my son and his friends that it is all possible with the help and guidance of Wavelength tutoring. WaveLength tutors are professional, reliable, knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to the success of your child. The instructors got to know each students strengths and weaknesses through laid back conversations which enabled them to customize their individual programs. The tutor’s enthusiasm for the material made each session interesting and stimulating and left the students wanting for more. I was most impressed by their encouragement to the students to expand their preconceived notions of themselves and their abilities. It gave each of them the confidence to do extremely well on the standardized testing and to also reevaluate their college application choices to include their dream schools as attainable goals. I wholeheartedly support and recommend Wavelength’s techniques, strategies and approach to the SAT’s and college application process. The company and instructors far exceeded all my expectations. I truly believe that if your student puts in the work that Wavelength’s program requires then they will be successful in their academic pursuits. My son and his friends are living proof and were all accepted to their number one school choices. As for my son, I am proud to say he was accepted early action to Yale College. He was also the recipient of an academic ROTC scholarship from the US Navy which provides 4 years full tuition and enables him to graduate Yale as an officer in the US Navy. I am eternally grateful for the guidance and support that Wavelength provided during my son’s journey in accomplishing his academic goals and dreams. Sincerely,

I thought the cram class was very informative. I wish it was a little longer so we could have spent a little more time discussing each type of test. I am now more confident going into the test for the first time. Thank you for the help!

I definitely learned more from this class. Now I know what to expect on the SAT, what there is that would trip me up, as well as some useful tips. During the practice tests I learned where I need improvement and where I am strongest. Now I can concentrate on my weak points (such as grid-ins) and make them stronger, and shore up where I am already strong. I feel Matt + Marlee were both very helpful.

Marlee- She definitely knows English really well and makes it fun. She knows many tricks to break down and solve problems which helps a lot. Matt- While he knows his math he is really good at logic which helps when solving problems . I learned a lot about solving problems and Math itself. SAT classes seem like a boring thing but both of them made it fun.

I had a wonderful experience with WaveLength. The SAT Math class was very one-on-one, and I learned how to think about the SAT in a way I could not have learned through a book alone. Matt was extremely knowledgeable about the SAT and was a great teacher overall. The class was challenging in that we were always expected to perform at our best, but Matt’s high expectations of us were what made me improve so much. My first SAT Math score from after the class was a 720. I finished with an 800! I would definitely recommend WaveLength tutoring to anyone looking to learn how to not just gain points, but how to really know the SAT and how to be prepared for every question on the test.

I learned a lot from WaveLength Tutoring's SAT prep program. The way Marlee and Matt taught the program was very different from a standard SAT class and told us how the SAT is designed to trick us and how to get the last laugh against it. I thought their method of teaching was very helpful. They gave us many different tips to use to our strength, like getting a question down to two choices or how the answers to word choices go from easiest to hardest and how to use that to our advantage. I thought the program was very informative, and based on the before and after scores proved that their teaching ideas really worked. I would certainly recommend taking their course to anyone looking to learn about the SAT/improve their overall scores.

Wavelength tutoring goes above and beyond what typical test prep companies teach and instills lessons and thoughts that can be applied beyond the testing center. Last year I managed to help a scientist crystallize a mitochondrial protein complex known as MTERF4-NSUN4, which plays a role in ribosome biogenesis in the mitochondria. This work led to a publication in the scientific journal Structure, in which I was named a co-author on the paper. When college decisions came back, my parents and I were ecstatic. I was accepted into Rutgers University, Boston College, Emory University, University of Virginia, Williams College, Northwestern University, Johns Hopkins University, Duke University, Brown University, Columbia University, and Yale University. Matt and Marlee taught me more than just how to take a test. They taught me how to approach a problem from different angles, and how to use a variety of different techniques and ideas to solve it. The value of this approach cannot be measured. Sometimes the answer to a question is not found within a textbook, but is built through the use of a thousand different ideas that are used in combination with one another to create a unique and powerful solution.

I wish all of my high school teachers were as kind, committed, and intelligent as Matt and Marlee. I not only feel like I learned a lot, but also was involved and connected which is key for learning. I felt comfortable and that all of the material was easy to learn. In the Math class, I learned new ways to solve problems and to make the harder problems easier and quicker, which will definitely help me reach my goal of an 800. In the Verbal class, I learned how to tackle vocab questions, how to approach reading passages, and how to find grammar mistakes more easily. My goal was to bring up my reading score but I am confident I will be able to bring up my essay and writing scores as well. No complaints :-)

Marlee was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and informative. I have learned a lot through her guidance. I learned how to structure and write essays for the SAT, as well as how to prepare support for the essay. In addition, I learned many sat strategies for answering Reading and Writing questions. My vocabulary was greatly expanded, and my knowledge of grammar has grown as well. My Writing score on the SAT went up 80 points after my tutoring! Thank you!! : )

I was more than impressed with my experience with WaveLength. My teacher was extremely knowledgable on the subject of the SAT as well as the college admissions process. The class provided me with a methodical process of approaching SAT questions and essays. After I took the class, I felt much more comfortable taking the SAT and saw significant improvement in my scores. Overall, I believe I truly benefited from the WaveLength class.
