"An ideal tutor: competent and considerate. She had the intelligence to begin with an assessment of our son's strengths and weaknesses, instead of some prior agenda. We were impressed how little time it took for our son to register real gains and how confident he was when it came to taking his exams."

"It has been great for Taki to get an extra burst in his work. So far we have used two of your tutors and they've been great. There was a big change for Taki when he switched schools, but your tutors have helped his transition. We will continue to use your services at the beginning of next year."

"I'm very happy that I was able to improve my scores and thank you so much. I had my on site admission for Hofstra today and I got an "accept," she told me I have a chance to get a good scholarship and be in the honors program, so I'm crossing my fingers. Thanks again!"

Robert S.

Bobby graduated from Harvard University in 2009 and is now a first year medical student at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. After taking an SAT course while a boarding student at Phillips Academy, he saw how remarkably certain SAT-specific techniques could completely transform the test. Through tutoring he is excited to see how quickly students with a wide range of starting scores and attitudes have seen such rapid improvement. He tutored extensively in the Boston and Cambridge areas while attending Harvard. An avid Red Sox and Patriots fan, Bobby grew up in Wakefield. Outside of school, he enjoyed playing football, baseball, hockey, and eventually rugby in college.

"An incredible tutor! Within weeks he helped me go up 100+ points. He was very friendly and so helpful. He allowed me to see the SAT in a less threatening way and understand all of the sections and what they meant in a clear manner. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to do great and achieve an amazing score."

"My sons Michael and Lenny absolutely love Bobby. He's so friendly and motivating, and is a brilliant teacher. Michael received an A on his biology test after a single 2-hour session. I would recommend Bobby to anyone else in a heart beat."

"I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your tutoring. Jesse is doing better and better at chemistry which he really felt he did not understand. His last grade on a test was 96! Your far reaching knowledge of chemistry is matched by an amazing ability to translate foreign sounding concepts into meaningful knowledge; my son went from feeling "in the dark" to a sense of having the subject illuminated for him. Clearly a brilliant science student you have a real gift as a teacher, having a sophisticated grasp of his subject and of his student."

"My husband joins me in thanking you so much for the help you've given Chris. With all the drama and stress over the last 10 months, all I can say is it's easier to have a baby."

"We have been delighted with the quality of the tutors from My Ivy Leaguer. My daughter never used a tutor before and the difference it made in her understanding of the material was enormous. We plan to work with our tutor starting at the very beginning of the next school year rather than waiting until exams."

"Our son Jimmy, recently studied with Olivia B. in preparation for his Sat exam. Jimmy had taken the SAT two times before and had scored very well, but his scores weren't high enough to apply to Ivy League schools. After working with Olivia, Jimmy's score improved by 160 points. Obviously we were very pleased with this result.

We had tried other tutoring services in the past, but we did not have the success that we had working with Olivia. Her calm demeanor, patience, and overall knowledge of the material proved an effective combination in her teaching Jimmy the material. The investment was definitely worth the results and we strongly recommend Olivia and My Ivy Leaguer."

From a 2080 (CR:740 M:640 W:700) to a 2330(CR:800 M:760 W:770)

Thanks again for all of your help! You were a great tutor."
