Meghan P.

Ms. Grasse had a very opening & warm personality that helped keep feel welcomed. I wasn’t scared to say my answers whether it was right or work so I appreciate that. I feel like I also learned new strategies to help improve my test-taking skills.

Math portion was really helpful

The English portion of the prep helped me know what to expect on the test. The math part was really helpful because there were certain strategies I forgot how to do. Overall it was really helpful and my tutor was very approachable so it was easy to ask questions.

It was great because it was flexible and designed for my personal needs. I felt confident after reviewing a tricky topic and felt that the differently designed questions were considering every possible outcome. I felt engaged throughout the process.

Prepscholar is great!

I love PrepScholar because it is self-paced and I can do the work whenever possible. For example, if I need to study a lot, but I have a lot of school, I can work on PrepScholar during a lunch break!

Highly Recommend this Program

From my first phone call, I knew that PrepScholar was going to be the right choice for us. My academic advisor, Karena, took great care and time to answer all of my questions, and even continued to follow-up with me periodically to check in on my daughter's progress and offered additional support as needed.

The program itself provides great value for the money. I love how it recommends a realistic weekly schedule based on the amount of time the student can give on a given week. The lessons assigned are based on the progress being made from prior practice sessions, so it's a smart, analytics-based approach as opposed to just pushing out a bunch of random practice questions. The parents receive a weekly progress report via email which is also very appreciated. My daughter was not able to put in quite as much time as she had hoped, however the approach was so valuable that her score jumped considerably. Highly recommend!

I really enjoyed working with Paul and I feel that I progressed with my SAT understanding as time went by. His explanations were always very clear and seeing his thought process as we went through questions together helped me improve my own thought process as I took on questions alone. This helped me consistently score high on my practice tests.

Great Tutoring!

Paul was a very good tutor who was able to help me understand every question I had trouble with. Because of the tutoring I am feeling extremely confident for my upcoming SAT and would definitely recommend the tutoring to others.

Super Helpful!

Paul is great at breaking down problems and simplifying the details enough to make problems understandable! His approach was very straight-forward and allowed me to understand questions, especially for math, way better! He's a great tutor :)

PrepScholar Review

One aspect of PrepScholar that really made my experience great was the flexibility of tutoring sessions, because I was able to schedule them when I was free. Luckily, the PrepScholar tutors have copious amounts of slots available throughout the day to assist students whenever necessary. I especially enjoyed having Paul Dueck as my tutor as he was very open to tailoring the tutoring sessions to what I wanted to practice in that time, and he also did an amazing job explaining questions that I was confused on.

DSAT Beginner Review Class

I find Jenifer to be an extremely positive person. She encourages her students and makes lessons engaging. She doesn't discourage anyone when they get a wrong answer but rather encourages them to try. She'll give a detailed explanation of how to solve the problem. My experience is always positive with Jenifer, and she makes her students comfortable. I also appreciate that she stays after class to clear up any questions we have at the end. Currently, I have no constructive criticism. I think she manages her class well.

Mrs.Jennifer

Mrs. Jennifer is an excellent teacher! She provides both a great mix of listening, speaking and practical learning activities and a very safe, supportive learning environment. As a student, you feel pushed to learn and try out new competencies, feel safe and supported in doing so and gain valuable feedback that helps you to improve.

Mrs.Jennifer's Contribution to My Academic Growth

The experience was helpful because of the emphasis on using strategies to solve all types of problems. It allowed for expansion of application of knowledge that was a builder. Additionally, the exposure to multiple methods of solving problems was a tremendous help with looking at the question in a different perspective/light . Thank You!!!

Great class, still wishing for more rigorous prep

Great class; Jennifer was a great teacher and full of energy, but most of the problems felt easy and there weren't enough difficult and challenging questions to solve. So more of that would be nice for a stronger SAT prep overall.
