TESTIMONIALS

Daniel, my WaveLength tutor, helped me with a lot of aspects for the magnet school entrance exams and the SSAT. He helped me a lot with math and made sure I knew what to do before we moved on.

I appreciated how skilled in your subjects you both were in your investment in our success. Overall it seems like this class is mostly helpful for your students. Thank you for teaching me.

This ACT class was awesome! It made me excited to take the test because I was eager to see how much I have improved, thanks to Andrea.

Hi Marlee, I hope this message finds you well. I came across this e-mail from you urging me to look into the CH department at Tufts as a high school senior. Fast forward four years and you'll find a CH and Spanish double major, accomplished thesis writer (I interviewed 20 hispanic backstretch workers-- 10 H-2B and 10 undocumented in Spanish and determined whether or not the H-2B guest worker program, in its current model, could serve as a large-scale national program for our nation's undocumented workers--soon to be published (fingers crossed), and departmental award winner. I decided not to delete this e-mail in my comprehensive inbox purge and instead reflected on the impact you have had on my academic and life trajectory. I've never been able to articulate how your guidance throughout my senior year not only helped improve my SAT scores, but more importantly forced me to look inward and really discover my own interests and passions and begin to formulate my "life plan". I am now at graduate school at tufts, pursuing an MPH. I am applying to medical school next fall. I work as a volunteer interpreter at the Parker Clinic in Red Bank and at a free clinic here in Boston. Honduraide is still up and running and I'm focusing on procuring funding for a new burn unit. This fall, I TA-ed Intro to community health. This is a long-overdue thank you but I hope you are doing well and enjoying getting to know another Johnson family member (only one more left after Alessandra…!). As an extension of our verbal sessions, I continue to barrage Alessandra with SAT vocab (she may not be the biggest fan BUT she did state that my continued use of "egregious" helped her decide between gregarious and egregious on the SAT). PS: At Tufts, I developed a relationship with the admissions counselor who read my application. I will forever be known in the admissions department as "nalgene girl." Best,

Hi Marlee, I hope this message finds you well. I was accepted to Robert Wood Johnson medical school!! (my top choice!) I want to thank you again for your help over the summer in providing the scaffolding for my primary essay. I can't properly articulate how much your continuos support has meant to me throughout the past 7 (can you believe it?) years. I hope our paths cross again soon. Thank you.

My WaveLength experience has really been beneficial toward my performance on the SAT and also my school work. Marlee and Matt also taught me a lot about how to approach test problems and keep literal with the test. They also helped push me to work hard for a score they felt I could obtain and gain confidence while test-taking.

I had entered this class with very low SAT scores. After only a couple of classes I have seen my scores jump. The smaller class gave me the advantage of a more individualized learning style which I believe is directly related to my improvement.
