Hi Mr. K,
I recently received my scores back from the October 11th SAT. The test was a success – I was able to bring up my reading score 100 points from 560 to 660. I want to thank you for your help in preparing me for this test. My overall score is now an 1810, which will really help as I apply to college.

Thanks again for all your help with the SATs. I will definitely refer any future SAT or ACT takers to you. You were such a great resource in helping prep for these type of tests.

I just got back my SAT scores and I got a 2210 (compared to previous score 2010)! My Writing score was a 790 (+170 points) and my essay scored a 12 (was an 8 before)!

I would like to thank you for helping me with my SAT prep, especially the writing! It was relatively painless and straight to the point. Again, thanks so much!

Email from parent B (in Virginia) concerning daughter M’s ONLINE tutoring:

Hi Richard,

Great news about M’s progress. She was beaming.

She certainly applies herself and is very coach-able but was working for most of July on her own and making minimal gains. You sure have steered her in the right direction across the board. I think that your expertise is rare.

Thanks!

Email from parent P (in Boston) concerning daughter S’s ONLINE tutoring:

Hi Richard,

Thank you for all your help. S is thrilled with your tutoring. She said it has been an enormous help.

And. . .

Thank you so much for all the help. S has only great things to say about you. If ok, I will pass your name/email to several individuals who have asked.

Thanks!

My daughter worked with Rich for about a year on her ACT preparation. He proved to be a talented and very reliable tutor! He was always on time and provided extra test questions as needed. We have experienced several other tutors in the past, one in particular from a big name outfit in Bryn Mawr and this has by far been a much better experience! Rich is very kind and patient, besides being extremely knowledgeable in math. He kept things low key and I would say he instills a quiet sense of confidence. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for such a tutor! Thanks for everything Rich! We’ll call if we need you again.

Email from ONLINE student M.M. in Texas, 170 point increase in Reading and Writing, Oct 2013 test (We did not work on Math, student already had 800!):

I think that there were a couple of tough questions (on the test), but I think all and all it went just fine! 🙂 The essay was shockingly similar to one that we had already written together, so I actually think that my essay was very much a rehash of one we had already written together, so that was great! I’ll tell you how the scores look when they come back but I have good feelings about it!

Thanks so much for guiding me along the way. It’s been amazing working with you, you are really understanding of me as an individual. I felt like the lessons, while structured, were still very much tailored to my individual needs and that was extremely helpful. It’s been a great time having you as my tutor, thank you so much. I couldn’t have done it without you (empirically proven).

Take care,

M.M.

And the follow-up:

SAT SCORES CAME OUT THIS MORNING AT 4AM…2340!!!!!!!
IM VERY HAPPY ABOUT THE SCORE!:) That’s like a 170 point jump from 2170! I think that’s pretty awesome that you were able to get me there!
All the seniors got to school today and were like “it sucked, how’d you do?” And I was like “Rocked it.” Thanks again for working so hard with me to get me to where i am now!:)
Thank you,

After first test: P did very well and got a score of 2300. Thanks for all your help. He got a perfect score in Writing ( a 11 in essay).

After second test: P did very well. He got a 2350: 800 in CR and Math but 750 in writing. If any of the universities he applies to superscores, then he would get a perfect 2400 since he got 800 in writing in his last attempt.

Thank you for all your help and I will be glad to pass on your information to others.
