The tutor we had was exceptional, patient and extremely effective for our 17 year old senior working on improving his SAT scores, which he did! Both the tutor and his supervisor at Summit were extremely good at communicating with us with updates and recaps, and also communicated directly with our child, while copying us. We truly were satisfied with the entire process, the tutor, communication and results. We would most definitely recommend Summit to others!

Terry Graves tutored me from early high school through college. Through that time, I saw my writing…read moreskills improve tremendously. As a STEM student, I was not a strong writer or even very appreciative of literature. After working with me on a number of academic papers, I wrote with more confidence AND she taught me to appreciate prosody --the elegance in the written word-- to the degree that Thomas Hardy became my favorite author. She taught me to organize my thoughts and themes throughout a written piece. She also helped me organize my research. She helped me improve my grammar and punctuation skills which I carry with me to this day. With her help, I was able to bring up my grades significantly. She was always a patient, creative and imaginative teacher. I highly recommend Terry Graves.

Terry helped us with two things: ACT preparation and college applications…read more Terry planned the ACT preparation meticulously and the execution was first-rate. She motivated my boy very well and developed an excellent rapport with him. The tutoring was tailored to suit his individual needs and was at a very suitable pace for him. Homework that was set added to the overall effectiveness. His practice test ACT scores steadily improved as time went on. I am sure that his final score was much better than it would have been without the tutoring. The college preparation went extremely well, from help in identifying suitable colleges to the actual application process. She gave outstanding advice in crafting a great set of college essays, while being scrupulous in ensuring it was his voice that shone through. There were a lot of essays and ensuring we kept on the timetable was a very important part of the job, as was the advice on structuring and editing. The proof of the pudding is in the eating and my boy had a terrific crop of excellent admissions results and was offered some great scholarships. He was admitted to his first-choice school where he starts in the fall. Overall, Terry was great help to us in our preparations for college and was a real partner in our journey.

Alex Mallory offered wise advice throughout the testing process, and paired our son with several…read moreexcellent tutors. Eli Amzallag was particularly effective. He followed up every session with a detailed evaluation, which he sent the next day. Our son received an 800 on the math section, and 690 on the verbal. And, most important, he was admitted, early decision, to the college he most wanted to attend. The standardized testing regime is awful, biased, and a rip off. But, until it withers and dies off, places like Competitive Edge Tutoring are very helpful in getting through it.

The tutors sent us detailed summaries of the sessions, the areas needing work, and the next steps immediately after every session to help keep us in the loop. Megan helped my younger daughter for both the ACT and Spanish SAT 2 and we found her help invaluable.  We even recommended her to other family members. Her final ACT score was 35. My older daughter used Liz and Dimitri for the ACT and Willis for Spanish. Working with Competitive Edge my daughter's score rose from a 28 on the pre ACT (scale is 1 - 35) to a 35 on the actual ACT (scale is 1 - 36).
