Michael is a great tutor. He is very patient and takes time to explain techniques and concepts very well. He was able to help my son with his ACT Reading, ACT English, SAT Reading, and SAT writing. The techniques Michael taught my son worked very well as his ACT English and ACT Reading scores went up by 25%. I am still waiting for his SAT scores. If you are looking for help with ACT and SAT tests, then Michael is the perfect tutor for you.

With only five lessons, Anna helped my daughter raise her ACT Reading score from 28 to 33, bringing it on par with other subjects. Anna is a patient and thoughtful tutor, who tailored the lessons to our needs. My daughter felt comfortable and was looking forward to the lessons.

My daughter thinks he is the best tutor she’s ever had. That says a lot because she’s had quite a few great tutors in subjects like math over the years. David is very sharp and precise and clearly knows what he is doing. Not a single minute is being wasted in his class time. His sessions have been an enlightening experience for my daughter. We're being very hopeful that she will do well in her ACT in February and her SAT in March.
