Each year has gotten better and better, and Mikayla has also been fantastic with homework, essays, editing, providing feedback, achieving the perfect balance between help and independence.

1 Avid lesson

Natalie is very thorough, knowledgeable and very organized. Our daughter needed someone to mentor and guide her with Exam Preparation, Natalie streamlined a study plan and also recommended books to get her started with the preparation. Our son is not a avid reader which in turn makes him less creative in Writing and Sentence formation, Natalie observed the same after going through his writing assignments and has come up with a plan to set goals for him to reach and improve his language writing skills.

Sunny Y.

9 Avid lessons

What was most helpful in the review sessions was the formulaic approach in the writing and reading that allowed for greater consistency and accuracy in the reading section. After 4 reviews I noticed my practice tests going from a 650 range to a 730-770 range. Not being an avid reader myself getting the insight to read in a more critical way and categorizing wrong answers choices gave me a more confident approach in the SAT reading overall. She has been a massive help! Ryan, California
