3 SSAT lessons

We were also impressed by Wendy’s professionalism and integrity. When we flagged a timing issue in one session, she immediately acknowledged it and made up the time without hesitation. Communication throughout was prompt and reassuring. Most importantly, in just a few sessions, our son’s overall SSAT percentile improved from 89 to 93, along with a noticeable boost in confidence. We highly recommend Wendy to any family looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated SSAT tutor.
Patrice F.

9 SSAT lessons

Thanks to the AMAZING job Carole did with tutoring our son for the SSAT. His scores showed significant increase in ALL AREAS and that's all because of Carole. Our son took the SSAT 3 times, we tried working with 2 different tutors but neither was as effective and had such significant impact as Carole did. She was encouraging, inspiring and challenged our son to work smarter not harder and developed him academically as well as his confidence. We thank you Carole!!
Angela O.

169 SSAT lessons

She was able to prepare them for the SSAT so thoroughly that both boys scored at a level that got them accepted into their very top choice for a private high school! We liked Robyn so much that we still had her tutor long after the boys nailed their SSAT. We just moved on to preparing the twins for high school math. Robyn did such a awesome job with their high school math preparation that they were able to skip Algebra 1 completely and start in Geometry in 9th grade!
