95th Percentile on the SAT

“I am extremely impressed with Susan's skills as an SAT tutor. She tailored the course to focus on the skills my daughter most needed, and the outcome was fantastic - my daughter scored in the 95th percentile on the SAT. While my daughter is gifted academically, the lessons Susan crafted definitely helped her maximize her score. By the time she took the SAT, my daughter was well-prepared and knew exactly what to expect and what strategies to use if faced with tough questions.”

Marc P., Mother of SAT student

Phenomenal SAT tutor

“Susan tutored my daughter for the SAT, mostly in the Reading and Writing sections. She was wonderful - gentle and kind and yet she knew when to push her to get more out of her. You can tell she loves what she does, and the results showed with my daughter. We started the tutoring before her first SAT and through to the second time she took the test. She scored an 1810 the with Susan's help on the first try to a 2100 on her second try.”

Ann F., Mother of SAT student
