SAT Student - 1520 (99th percentile)
I just got my scores back on the ACT. It's a 34 Composite, which puts me in the 99th Percentile. Perfect 36 on the English and Reading Sections, and scored in the 97th and 98th Percentiles for Math and Science, respectively. Thank you so much for all of your help!
ACT Student - 34 (99th percentile)
I literally cried after opening my son's test scores. Then I called my husband who cried in a Board of Directors meeting. Thank you so much for guiding our son through this phase of his life. You really were the ideal person to do it and he was so lucky to have you, as were we.
You did such an amazing thing here. Not just for this test, but for our son as a person.
"This is one of the top five college admissions essays I have ever seen. You should be admitted to any school in the nation based on this personal statement alone. A truly evocative, moving, and gorgeously written narrative. It is a perfect essay.”

I don't know exactly how to express it, but we were so fortunate to have Dan as a tutor for my daughter. They really "clicked,” but I can't believe that anyone would not. Dan is one of the most intelligent and gracious people I've met. He has a very broad and deep knowledge of math and literature, not to mention a pedagogical gift.
SAT Student - 1480 (98th percentile)
Dan is the best tutor I have ever met in my life. He tutors all three of my children in subjects ranging from Chemistry and Calculus to Finance and Economics. It's so wonderful to hear them laugh while they are learning.
