TESTIMONIALS

Dear Marlee and Matt, I am writing to thank you for introducing my son Stefano to Daniel this summer. He spent the entire summer tutoring Stefano for the SAT. He is an amazing person and a real added value to your staff. Daniel really helped Stefano by teaching him the strategies need to succeed and also honed in on his weaknesses to improve those skill gaps identified. While working on his gaps he always highlighted Stefano’s strengths. He encouraged him each week with positive reinforcements and made him feel really good about himself during this very stressful time. He gave him the confidence he needed to go into the SAT test with a can do attitude. Stefano and Daniel worked very closely each week and developed a really strong relationship. Daniel would spend added time after each session and talk to Stefano about his essay for his applications. Daniel’s expert writing ability really provided Stefano with a clear idea as to how to approach the application process regardless of the outcome of the SAT. He continued each week to really get to know my son and understand him in a way that really made a difference. We are happy to say that Stefano did get into his first choice school and will spend his freshman year abroad studying international business and finance. I really believe that Daniel had such a strong impact on Stefano and was part of the successful outcome and words can not thank him enough for all he has done for my son. I can only say that as a mother the greatest joy is to see your child succeed and I believe Daniel played a big part in this very happy ending. Sincerely,

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 feel like my SAT tutors have helped me so much! Even though I missed a couple of classes I still feel like I grasped lots of information and I will apply this when I take the test. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with me!

You and Marlee have very different teaching styles; Marlee is more of Testing Tips, Testing Tips, Testing Tips, and studying, while you are more of STUDY!, STUDY!, STUDY!, testing tips. They are both good methods but as lazy person I got more out of Marlee’s class.

This class was very effective, we went over strategies for all tests that I will see on Saturday and I feel a lot more prepared. The grammar tips and Reading were especially helpful because I feel like those are my hard sections. I am a little nervous about time going into the test. Overall I feel confident and ready. PS sorry about my bad hand writing.

I overall enjoyed this class and the changed my views and perception on the SAT completely. Before this class I was very nervous about everything about the test and what it was composed of. Now, I am not as intimidated by it and feel less scared going into the practice tests when I'm taking them. I feel like I learned many valuable strategies and lessons through the course and overall I enjoyed it.

I learned a lot more than I ever thought I would. I didn’t believe that getting a good SAT score was an option until now. Thanks So Much!
