I truly appreciate you working with B.Rich is the best tutor we’ve found, and we’ve tried more than a few. His skill and patience helped our son excel on the ACT, scoring in the 98th percentile nationally. Though our son’s bright enough that he might have performed well on his own, he would never have achieved this potentially life-changing result without Rich’s hard work.
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!
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.
Thank you for your help! Scores were CR 740, Math 720, and Writing 730, with 10 on essay, for a total of 2190.
She improved! Final test bested all her categories. Thank you for your help, just wish she had gotten a little more sleep the week before the test, but I don’t think that was something you could have helped much with!
Just referred you to my friend for his son and will forward info to my brother-in-law for his kids.
Cheers,
I’d just like to thank you for working with me those couple of weeks – I raised my Writing score by a whole 110 points (770, up from 660.) My superscore is now a 2210 and I’m happy with it! Was great working with you!
I got a 2060 with the breakdown being: Read- 750, Math- 660, writing- 650. Thank you so much for your help!
Rick is an awesome, awesome tutor. I started out with a 2150 SAT score (CR: 750, M: 680, WR: 720) and an 31 on the ACT (E: 34, M:30, R:35, S:26) and over the course of three months, he brought my ACT score up to a 34 (E:35, M:30, R:33, S:32), then got me to an 800 on Math 2, and after studying with him over the summer, I received a 2340 on the October SATs (CR:800, M:750, WR:790).
He was very patient with me and very straight forward. We used only official study guides and a few Rick-sanctioned practice tests, and he was willing to sit and explain every math/science/reading/writing section I couldn’t get my head around. After teaching me all the tips and tricks so that I could get consistently high scores, he was still willing to read through my essays and listen to me explain things I already understood just for my benefit. Rick was also happy to read through a college essay or two when we ran out of test-problems to go through during a session and never ceased to be positive and encouraging.
Rick is a genuinely nice guy, and I’ve recommended him to all of my underclassmen friends who are squaring up to take the SATs/ACTs soon. His promise to get your scores up is 100% true plus there’s an added bonus of having a friendly guy teaching you math (or whatever it is you need to know). Rick is worth much more than he charges.
With Rick’s tutoring, you get a great value for your money. I tutor math and hear many students complain about their tutors; they often say that the tutor is too intense and not sympathetic to their specific challenges. Our daughter gained so much confidence with Rick’s approach. For starters he is a superb problem solver. Additionally, my daughter appreciated his demeanor; relaxed but focused. Rick manages to stick with the business at hand without being rigid and business-like. Margaret’s timing in signing up with Rick was perfect. Junior year is full of anxiousness. On top of this, everyone- peers, teachers, principals, parents, neighbors, coaches, parents’ friends and relatives all want to know “what your plans are for college.” Rick was one of few people that my daughter interacted with that did not get into this discussion. He seems to “get” the SAT on many levels – the surrounding anxiousness as well as the right approach for success on all three parts of the test. The Skyping worked out extremely well. It saved so much time and stress in travel.
From the first PSAT in the fall of tenth grade to the Spring of Junior year SAT, using the SAT score scale, our daughter’s scores went up a total of 140 in Reading, 110 in Math and 130 in Writing.
Between your instruction and her persistence, she’s come so far! She’s not inclined to take the test again. For schools that “super score” she’ll have a 2200 which she is happy with. Thanks again for everything.
