Every student’s needs will be different, and Lynn Carnegie and Carnegie Prep show the ability to rapidly adapt SAT/SSAT tutoring to each individual student, with kindly encouragement, practicality, cost-effectiveness, and making it all seem almost easy!
I have been meaning to write you to thank you for helping J. out. The fact that he is willing to go and then put in the effort at home is amazing! Especially right after exams, etc. You told him what his teachers have said in his report card for the last several years – but only when you said it that it seemed to resonate with him.
When my son took his practice SAT in your class last Friday, he improved his last fall PSAT score (closest thing he has in comparison) by 100 points. You guys are wonderful.
Richard came today to work with my son. My son LOVED him!! He had the biggest smile on his face when they were done because he said he felt SO much better and Rich helped him so much! He was really thrilled. My son thinks he hit the jackpot! Your track record (from feedback and now my own experience) is impeccable!
Austin Lehn and Duane Smith were great and extremely helpful throughout the entire process.
Hey Austin,
So turns out I didn’t make any of those stupid mistakes on the math section for the SATs! I got an 800!!! Thank you so much for everything!!!
James was absolutely AWESOME for Latin. I can’t say enough good things about him!
We can’t thank you enough for recommending Max as a tutor for our son. Our son has so enjoyed working with him in preparation for the ACT and as of late, the PSAT. He is an outstanding tutor, both in his knowledge base and his interpersonal skills. He demonstrates an excellent balance of empathy for the student, encouragement toward the student, and exhortation to work hard.
My other daughter T. went from a 26 to a 32 by taking your ACT Blast. Thank you!!
He has raised his overall score by 170 points over seven months and three tests. Your tutors have played an important role in his success. Some educators are reluctant to acknowledge the importance of standardized tests and yet good results make a huge difference in college outcomes, particularly given grade inflation.
Laurie did an excellent job preparing our daughter for the SSATs. She also tutored her in Algebra where was she was among the top students in her class. She was delightful to work with and fully committed to the success of our daughter.
I want to thank you for recommending Kyle. J. scored 800 Critical Reading, 770 Math, 800 Writing! He attributes his success to Kyle’s fantastic tutoring. Kyle is extremely smart and knows what he’s talking about when it comes to these tests. Kyle’s kind and calm demeanor was just what J needed to be able to relax and perform at best.
Thank you Lynn!! Amanda was great!! We have loved all of the tutors you have recommended over the years. Working with you has been really helpful and convenient, and I know it has helped my daughter get to this point. She is thrilled with her acceptance!
The distance learning made the course a bit more challenging, but I really liked how the format and structure was basically the same as one that we would do in class, just on a computer.
