Would HIGHLY recommend this tutoring company to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and professional…read moretutor or executive function coach to work with their child. We have used this service for the last two and half years and cannot tell you how much we have benefited from the support of the coaches that have worked with our son. His confidence has improved with his writing, learning how to organize his thoughts better when tackling history and English Language Arts assignments. He's doing more than just the bare minimum, including more descriptive language and details. He's proactively creating outlines while reading to set himself up for success when trying to remember details later for questions or discussions. He's gotten better at self-advocacy, reaching out to teachers via email, when he's unsure of how to tackle an assignment or something isn't working correctly vs. just ignoring the issue. All things he wouldn't dream of doing on his own two years ago. Added bonus is that it has taken some of the pressure off of us, his parents, and the stress it was causing us when "nagging" him about his homework and missing assignments. Just wish we would have started sooner!!

My daughter (a Junior) has enjoyed working with Everett to prep for the SAT. With just a month of…read morestudying with Ev, her score improved by 300 points from the PSAT she took in the fall. Ev is experienced and kind - and generous with his time and knowledge. My daughter is at ease with Ev and he's helped build her confidence for the test. Based on our experience, the other review sounds like a troll or a competitor posting false information. We look forward to continued work with Ev for her second SAT in March - and will absolutely have my son work with him in the future. While his hourly rate can seem steep, the 1:1 work makes all the difference and is worth it.

Everitt worked with two of my kids to prepare them for the ACT. Although he showed lots of…read moreexpertise and experience, it was fairly clear that his teaching strategies were ineffective and his prices far too high. My kids did about two and a half months with Everitt, usually meeting once per week. At the end of the two months, neither of them seemed satisfied with their results. After taking the test once, both decided that working with Everitt was "a colossal waste of time and money" and decided to resort to other resources. In truth, Everitt really didn't do much during the tutoring sessions outside of checking the practice tests he had assigned for homework. This means that a student could EASILY have the exact same experience studying on their own simply by taking practice tests and researching a few test taking strategies. In the end, both of my children did three-or-so weeks of tutoring at PrepMatters with a tutor that was admittedly more expensive (Everitt is still $$$) than Everitt yet helped my kids a lot more. Both took the test immediately after their few weeks at PrepMatters and both were satisfied with their scores! They took it one more time after that without going to a tutor and raised their scores even higher, both finished above the 99th percentile and eventually got into their top choices! To summarize, Everitt's tutoring was not helpful. Sure, he knows about the tests and has lots of experience tutoring, but working with him was unproductive, a waste of money, and did not help my kids reach their college goals in any way. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and your kids during the college process!

We used the services of Tutor Troops to assist our HS Senior with taking the ACT. We haven't…read morereceived the results back yet, but the level of confidence our son had and the strategies he was equipped with were more than enough for us to know that the tutoring was effective. I would recommend Tutor Troops to anyone looking to improve their ACT/SAT scores in preparation for college. Hasan sat down with our son initially to establish what course of action was better for him prior to proceeding with the tutoring session. I think that was very beneficial to him in the long term, as some students are better at Science than English, and if so, it's better to take the ACT. These, and other facts we had no idea of until we sat down with a professional tutor. Thank you Tutor Troops for your services, our family are highly appreciative and pleased.

This score was a massive 300-point improvement from my PSAT that I took the year before. Initially, Jen's class helped me to familiarize myself and solve the different types of reading, grammar, and math questions, giving me the initial bump to the 1450 range on a practice test. Then, she taught me to be more vigilant regarding the more deceptive questions, ultimately allowing me to get consistent scores in the mid to high 1500s on the College Board practice SATs. Throughout the process, Jen was very accommodating and answered all of my and my parent's questions about the DSAT. I highly recommend this class to students at all levels looking to improve their scores and can't thank Jen enough for my improvement.
