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.
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 met with Mike on Saturday. She thinks he is amazing and wants to stick with him for Math and Science. She said Mike clarified some things she NEVER understood before. Thanks so much for all your help with this process!
I just want to let you know what a positive experience I have had with your tutors over the years. You, personally, have always taken the time (often 45 mins or more) to chat with me over the phone about each of my children to match me up the best tutor for each of them. My youngest has just finished up with Sam. He was tremendous!
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!
We wanted to thank you for the excellent tutoring provided by Jerry for our daughter for her SAT. He is a first class tutor with tremendous insight and knowledge. All of his advice and techniques paid off with excellent test scores for her. He made the process so much easier and his sense of humor provided a sense of levity.
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 just wanted to thank you for everything. I just received my PSAT scores, and thanks to your help I scored a 76 in Math. I know for a fact that this score is a direct result of your help, so I just wanted to take the time to express my appreciation for your effort and time. Thank you.
My son definitely felt prepared! It made a tremendous difference, him taking your class. It also did with my other son way back when two years ago. Your teachers care and you care and it shows.
Caroline is the most amazing tutor! She is currently tutoring both of my daughters for the SAT exam. Both girls have already improved their scores over 300 points!! Caroline’s level of professionalism, knowledge of the SAT exam, along with her top notch organizational skills exceed the highest of standards. We are so fortunate!
James was absolutely AWESOME for Latin. I can’t say enough good things about him!
Hey Marshall,
I thought the test went better than I expected it to be. With math, I felt like I knew how to approach every single question I saw. I believe 9 out of your 10 hints were on the test. The only thing I didn’t use was the hippity hop (I was upset no bunny). But I think the extra helps and just doing as many problems as I could really helped me.
Our daughter’s SAT instructors, Ross and Rick, were terrific and continuously available to her for questions and encouragement. Austin did a great job with the ACT Blitz course. The proof is in the results — 700 on the Writing, 710 on the Critical Reading, and 760 on the Math. Her composite score on the ACT was 34!
Hey Rick,
I wanted to let you know that I was accepted to Harvard this past week! I’m really excited for the coming year, and know it would not have been possible without your help. Thank you for the countless hours you spent with me, reviewing SAT math problems!
Amanda was an absolutely phenomenal tutor. I sent her my personal statement for medical school and almost immediately received her comments and suggestions. Amanda helped me transform a very good essay into an even better piece with a compelling story, an emotional appeal, and a very, VERY strong argument.
