My daughter tutored with Main Line test prep and her SAT score went up 150 points. I'd highly recommend this company.

Steve O. is a fantastic support to High school kids looking to improve their test outcomes. He is patient, flexible and really helps kids grasp concepts and unlock the next level in both the substantive content and a personalized testing strategy. I cannot recommend Steve amd Main Line Test Prep highly enough - well worth the investment in the confidence of your kid in tackling this tough tests. read more

Steve did an amazing job tutoring my high school son to meet his exact goal SAT scores. We were thrilled with his support. My son and Steve met once per week for 1.5 hours - for a few weeks before the SAT tests. My son took two tests and on the second one met his goal :) Steve not only went through coaching for the actual content but the strategy for how best to use the SAT time and what to address first to make the most of the knowledge my son did have - ie the easy questions and quick wins. I personally valued the feedback we received too - Steve sent me short email reports after his sessions. THANK YOU STEVE! read more

My wife and I have known Steve for 25 years, having been classmates at Villanova Law. Steve was terrific for our son, who was strong in math at the outset. Steve gave our son the tools and confidence to achieve a very strong verbal score in addition to helping him achieve his full potential on math. Steve's substantive knowledge and test skills were invaluable for our son to achieve a great overall score as he proceeds with his college search. We highly recommend Steve as he really connects with the kids he is tutoring! read more

My twin sons received invaluable guidance from Steve Odabashian as they prepared for taking the SAT. They first attended an all-day seminar taught by Steve in which he walked through test-taking strategies and approaches, then each boy received individual tutoring leading up to test day. Not only did the boys truly enjoy their Skype prep sessions with Steve, but they ended up with really nice scores: One received a perfect 1600, and the other received a perfect math score and a very high verbal score. Based on the increase in scores from their PSATs, it was clear to me and my husband that Steve's work with the kids was an integral part of their success! read more

Steve is the best!! He was so helpful in helping my daughter achieve her highest potential during such a crazy time with Covid!! He is patient, funny, knowledgeable and kind!! Looking forward to him helping my son when it is time to start this process again! read more

A seriously smart and helpful test prep service. Highly recommended. You will not be disappointed with Steve.

Steve prepared our daughter, Kylie for the SATs and ACTs after she had already taken them twice and was not seeing desired improvement. After only a few sessions with Steve, her scores improved significantly on both tests making her competitive for Top Tier colleges/universities. Steve was intrumental in improving Kylie's confidence with taking the SAT and ACT tests. read more

Steve really helped my nephew out tremendously with his SAT! His scores went up 200 points after only 5 sessions. Weekly, Steve gave homework and test prep work that helped desensitize the test and helped my nephew understand the framework of the SAT. Schools do not adequately prepare students for advanced test-taking and this is exactly what Steve has done. Steve continued with my nephew all Spring and we are excited to see his next SAT scores. We will also work with Steve on the college application process. I highly recommend Steve because he is a motivator for students. His sessions have made my nephew more confident in test-taking and that has spilled over to his class work. My nephew is taking honors and AP courses and Steve has still found areas for him to improve. I recommend Steve for SAT prep for any level of your child's education!!! read more

I truly have no clue where I'd be without Main Line Test Prep. My english score went from a 24 to a 32 in 2-3 months of sessions. Steve helped me understand the concepts I got wrong with constructive, yet kind criticism. He encouraged me to push myself and it really paid off. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Have you ever made one of those decisions and look back and think - "I do not know where my child would be now if I did not have done that?" Hiring Main Line Test Prep was one of those excellent/fortunate decisions. Steve helped my daughter improve her scores by over 28%. Her confidence grew after each session. His process is very methodical and customized to the student. He covered testing strategies as well as strengthened academic content. Steve lives academic testing (ask him how many times he has actually taken the test himself). I would highly recommend him. read more

When my son's counselor recommended that we hire a tutor to bump up my son's PSAT scores into National Merit range, I admit that I thought, "I don't think we are a SAT tutor kind of family." I had heard great things about Steve, though, so we gave it a whirl. I honestly could not have had a better experience. My son's sessions were carefully tailored to his specific needs and my son downright enjoyed himself. He had *fun*. And the proof is in the pudding... my son's PSAT score bumped significantly, and he was a National Merit SemiFinalist and received all of the scholarship and college opportunities that came directly from that status. Colleges offered automatic scholarships, application fee waivers and expedited decisions, waivers of application essay requirements, priority class scheduling and honors housing.... Steve clearly cared very much for my son and his progress in general, checking in with him and our family long after our sessions ended. When my son was accepted to a great university, Steve was there cheering louder than anyone. If you ask around, you kind of get the feeling everyone in the world knows Steve, but only because anyone who has ever met him counts him as a friend. Steve is an exceptionally smart, personable guy and a great teacher. He will definitely be tutoring my younger son. I guess we are a SAT tutor kind of family after all. read more

Steve was instrumental in giving my daughter the skill and confidence she needed to excel on the ACTs. She entered the process stating "I'm not a good test taker" and finished with earned ACT scores that opened the doors to all her preferred colleges. She successfully applied early decision and was accepted at the college of her choice. Steve made the process nearly painless! He worked around my daughter's summer job and soccer training schedule, assisted her only on topics of need, and supplied her with homework and endless tips for success. He was patient, fun, inspiring, and more knowledgeable than anyone about test content. I wouldn't invest in any other testing service. Steve is the best! read more
