Beyond teaching the material, he shared practical strategies to approach problems and succeed on test day. I was able to improve my SAT score from 1370 to 1540, something I couldn't have imagined before working with him. His teaching style is engaging, patient, and always tailored to your needs. If you're looking for an SAT tutor who genuinely cares about your success, Chris is the one to choose!   From mom: As a mom of six, I have used many tutors, and I cannot recommend Chris at Summit enough. When my son was paired with Chris, Chris immediately contacted me to explain his approach. We had a wonderful, unrushed conversation. Chris clearly communicated with me after each meeting. My son said that Chris not only helped him drastically improve his score from a 1370 to a 1540 but also helped him understand and appreciate math. Chris is incredibly competent but also incredibly kind. My son shared that Chris was always cheerful and avoided criticism but challenged him appropriately. My son said that he was one of the best teachers that he had had. Margaret who was our contact person at Summit was incredibly helpful and supportive. I cannot praise this company enough! My son will be attending Harvard in the fall. Summit helped make his dream a reality. We will be using Summit for our next five children. Thank you Margaret and Chris!

I called to try to get a refund or at least convert the sunken cost to one on one tutoring, but they said no. The most they would do was give me a $300 credit, but I would have to pay $200 to use it.

My Natick HS son is a good student, but a nervous test taker. So, I started researching different…read moreACT test prep services and was impressed by the timely and thoughtful communications I received from Sexton Test Prep & Tutoring. Sarah Sexton sent us a mock ACT for my son to take which Sarah scored to determine a baseline - a disappointing 21. I worked with Sarah and my son to choose among several tutors (great bios available online) and decided on Kate Kelly. My son met 1:1 with Kate at the Wellesley library once a week for 12 weeks, and Kate was very flexible if my son had to reschedule. She kept me in the loop about how his strengths and challenges were progressing. When all was said and done, my son achieved a 28 composite ACT score, a vast 7-point improvement. This improved score resulted in him being accepted into some of his favorite colleges that had previously been out of reach. We'll soon know where he's headed in the Fall, and I'm definitely going to use Sexton Test Prep for my sophomore-aged son when he's ready. This not insignificant investment in 1:1 tutoring is worth every penny. In fact, the improved ACT score automatically qualified my son for a $24K scholarship at one school and $40K in another. Not a bad return on the investment!

My daughter is a HS Junior with already high ACT scores, and everyone knows how hard it can be to nudge your scores up once you're in a certain range. But Ben Sexton was able to identify exactly where her skills were lacking and help her raise her math score by several points, even though we had previously tried other test prep tutors who weren't successful. Ben really came at things from a strategic perspective my daughter could relate to, and explained his plan and thinking before hand. He also tutors in person and came directly to our house, which was very convenient, and proved flexible working with my daughter's schedule as well. She was able to approach the next testing date with understanding and confidence and managed to improve her score. We were very pleased with Sexton Tutoring and plan to use them again.

Signet has been with me all the way. I came to the US from Europe six years ago with a dream of…read morestudying at an American university, but I wasn't as prepared as I thought. My first year didn't go so great, so I started looking for help. From there, I found Signet, and they helped me through tutoring, test prep, and admissions (yea...a lot of stuff). I built up some serious study skills with them, and I eventually got into and graduated (with honors) from a top US university. What I have really loved is that they have pushed me to work hard and learn for myself, rather than just relying on them for success. When I did badly, I reviewed with my tutors to do better next time, and I developed study habits and the ability to understand my professors testing styles, so that I would continue to do better even without their help. From Signet, I have received tutoring from several tutors across all subjects over the years (math, writing, poly sci, SAT, GRE) and been deeply satisfied with their quality of tutors and instruction. I also like that they don't try to push anything on me. They're just there if I need them. In a couple of years I will likely apply to grad school, and I will definitely use these guys again to help fulfill my dreams.
