It’s Zach B. I just wanted to let you know that I was accepted early decision at Dartmouth! Thanks for all the help with the ACT and putting up with me.

Just wanted to let you know that Rebecca improved significantly on her
ACT test after your tutoring (she got a 33 composite). Thanks for all your help. I have let people know what a help you were. Fortunately, she is now done with all her college prep tests! Thanks.

Just wanted you to know that Dana got into her Early Decision choice school- Emory – and she is thrilled!. I think it will be a good fit for her.
I know that she could not have done it without your help. We really appreciate your advice about taking the ACT rather than the SAT. She never bothered to take any more SAT IIs and she didn’t bother sending the SATs, she only sent the ACTs. It was really nice that she got the test out of the way early so that she could concentrate on writing her essays over the summer and fall.

hi - Francesca got a 760 in the math level 2!!!! Thank you for encouraging her to do that one again. She had gotten a 600 on it last June. That’s a HUGE improvement.

I took the GRE, and did great— Math: 650 (yes!), Verbal: 770(yes!)
You were incredibly helpful, and I went into the test much less anxious than I would have been otherwise. I really, really appreciate all your help. Thank you so very much.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

David,
I am forwarding Joshua’s November SSAT scores. There was marked improvement... These scores look much more representative of Joshua’s capabilities.

Hi David,
We got Ben’s score report from November - attached below. He was thrilled with the result. We are truly amazed by how much he improved. Thank you so much for all of your support across the process. With these results, he’s no longer considering taking the test again, so it looks like we can give up our Friday tutoring slot.
Thanks again. And happy thanksgiving!

Hi David,
I have a couple pieces of great news…
First, Evan got his SSAT results a few weeks ago. He did great! His T scaled was a 2043, which put him in the 93%-ile. Verbal was 668 (80%-ile for both grade/gender and grade), Q Scaled was 692 (95%-ile grade/gender and 96%-ile grade), and R was 683 (93%-ile for grade/gender and grade).
Second, Olivia received her ACT scores last night. Big news…she scored a composite of 35!!!!! Wow. She scored her highest math score ever – a 35! 35 in English, Math, Reading, and a 36 in Science!!!

Alexa got a 31 on her ACT. Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your effort and especially your confidence in her. Honestly, you are the only person that ever made her feel like she was smarter then she tested. Although we do not need to come back now, I am very grateful. I will def bring my son early and often : )
Thanks!!

You did great work with Julianna and we are very appreciative. She may not have loved having to prepare for the ACT, but she was always ready to do what you asked and to come to your sessions with her. You made it as positive an experience as anyone could have, and Julianna knew that. We feel you gave Julianna great guidance in preparing for the ACT as well as building on needed life/academic skills for the future.

I thought I’d take that email as a sign to do what I’ve meant to do for a while now; send you an email thanking you for all your help over last spring, summer, and fall. This time last year I thought I was screwed, was totally overwhelmed, and had no clue. You straightened me out. And largely thanks to you I was able to apply confidently to grad school because of my GRE result. Well, grad school is settled, I’m going to be starting at the University of Georgia in Athens come the first week of August and couldn’t be more excited.
Again, thanks and I really hope you are doing well.

Hi David,
Just wanted to let you know that Alex got into the Blair High School math, science, and computer science magnet program. He’s very excited about it.
Thanks for everything you did for Alex. I think he approached the magnet admissions test in a calm, systematic way. He didn’t go blank when he got to the essay portion of the test. I have to credit your tutoring and the approach you took with him. He definitely felt confident and calm going into that test.
