My son has waxed poetic about you throughout the process and the support you have offered has been invaluable. College essays has not been an easy subject for our family and you have made it the best experience possible. Thank you for your generosity of spirit and time and we look forward to our younger daughter working with you next year and reading the final product.
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!
Mike was able to work within my son’s busy summer schedule to give him the help he needed to achieve scores that would be acceptable to the highly competitive schools. My son’s final scores were 800 on the SAT Math, and 36 on both ACT Math and Science. He was accepted Early Decision to Vanderbilt University.
Hi Jennifer,
P’s composite score was 36! Thank you so much for your incredible hard work and efforts. We are so appreciative to have your expertise on our side. P knows how excitable I am, so it took him seven hours to tell me! (He’s very humble.) You were also always available to accommodate me and my hectic family schedule. All the best to you!!!!
Wow, remote classroom learning worked really, really well for us. Kudos to you for being innovative, creative, and thinking outside the box to problem solve and implement such an enormous switch in a matter of days!
I can’t tell you how happy I am with E.’s new super score after all of the hard work that she and Luke put into this past year. I had to drop a letter to you to let you know how wonderful and encouraging and patient Luke was. He is an absolute superstar! Luke really understood what she needed between her test anxiety and lower math/ science score and his combination approach and tactics for stress relief and focusing truly paid off. After having worked with another tutor prior to Luke I can say that he deserves all the praise. After each session that E. would complete with Luke he would send me a detailed report on what area was focused on and specific tailored homework for her to complete for the next session. It was winning, creative combination approach that was genius! All I can say is he was more than a tutor, he was a cheerleader, a creative problem solver and a teacher who TRULY cared. I can’t thank you enough for helping us to unlock E.’s potential by connecting us with Luke.
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.
Jerry, your mothers direction and support from day one with subject test strategy, pairing my son with Caroline for ACT prep and essay editing, you coming out of retirement to share your wisdom, providing a few other amazing tutors for the little extra push, and suggesting we find an outside counselor that’s a fit were all individual acts that amounted to something big!!!!
Austin,
I would like to thank you so much for the preparation that you gave me for the math SAT. With your help on the challenging “killer” packets, I earned a 750 with only two questions wrong! I would recommend this course to anyone because you help every student succeed significantly. Thanks again!
My son worked with Nitin to prepare for the AP exam in Comp Sci. Nitin so inspired my son that he is now seeking to major in Comp Sci at college. He just scored a 5 on his AP exam thanks to Nitin’s patient and caring manner. Thanks to Lynn and all her tutors my children have excelled.
My son’s composite ACT score improved 5 points from his pre-ACT to his 2nd ACT test. Lynn Carnegie is fantastic and really listens to what her clients need. My son first took the ACT Blast, and Lynn helped match him with great tutors along the way to hone in on his areas of weakness without sacrificing areas of strength.
Thank you thank you! My daughter so loved the ACT Blast with Peter and Marshall! She said that she understands now how kids who take a course have such an advantage over those that do not. The strategies she learned she could not get from a book or through practice on her own.
Dear Amelia:
Your support and solid teaching helped L. get through the SAT and knock it out of the park. Thank you, thank you for what you did for L. in the classroom. Speaking from a mother’s point of view, I am very, very proud of him and very grateful for your help guiding him through the SAT test-taking process. You guys are invaluable.
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!
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!
