Hey Marshall –
I felt really confident on the math sections. The easy problems were really easy, and the harder ones were extremely manageable. Thank you so much for all the help these past 10 weeks! There was one question in particular that I looked at and immediately felt bad for kids who didn’t have you and wouldn’t think to plug in numbers.
My daughter did well on her ACT, a marked improvement from before taking your [Pre-Season ACT] class with Peter and Austin. She got a composite of 31! We are very pleased – she had months of private tutoring before we found you, and she never improved until your class. Thanks again.
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!
Caroline was truly wonderful. She helped my daughter’s scores improve tremendously on the SSATs (on the actual SSAT, she scored an 80% percentile on her math – far above where her practice scores had been when she started with Caroline and the area that needed the most improvement).
I have great news! I have accepted my admission to Yale’s Class of 2020! I am very excited about this, as I know Yale is the best fit for me. I can’t thank you and the other Carnegie heroes enough. I really couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you. John, Rick, Marshall — you guys rock.
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.
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 oldest son took your course to improve his first SAT scores. The second time around he scored a perfect 800 in Math and dramatically improved in writing and reading as well!! I can’t say enough about your program… the results we got simply speak for themselves! I would suggest this course to anyone and everyone. Totally worth it!
Rick is the best. The kids adore him and he always goes the extra mile to help. He really cares and it comes through. My experience with Rick has been wonderful and I am very happy we made the decision to go with Carnegie Prep!
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!
Good Morning Dan! I wanted to reach out and let you know that B thought you were terrific. He came away saying he thinks you’re a great teacher. Hopefully that will play out with his AP Physics score. Fingers crossed and thanks so much.
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.
My daughter was accepted ED at Boston University for the class of 2021. Thank you for all the help!! You have a fabulous organization and have helped both my kids. Both kids got into their first choice school and I’m not sure either of them could have pulled it off without the help of your exceptional team.
Sam is modest and understands the subtleties of competitive applications to boarding schools. With Sam’s focused and insightful help, and time flexibility, our time-crunched son completed the exam with an overall SSAT score in the 95th percentile and with a much more competitive balance between Verbal and Quantitative.
My son’s test scores are through the roof after your prep courses. Amanda worked with him on his common application and supplemental essays and I am so impressed with all he has learned and the products he’s produced. Thank you for running a fabulous organization with an amazing ROI!
