We have had a wonderful experience with Sexton Test Prep & Tutoring, and recommend them without hesitation. 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. read more

Ben & Sexton Test Prep are fantastic. They are everything you want: helpful, professional, and caring. With Ben's guidance and assistance, our son raised his scores a lot. We are definitely going to use them for our younger two children! read more

I experienced very unpleasant service for my daughter's first tutoring session. This company was rude and racist. They keep flagging any negative reviews because they cheat, leaving only the positive reviews. Very skewed and unprincipled. I would not recommend this place to any person who values fairness for people of color, whether that's an ally or otherwise. read more

My Natick HS son is a good student, but a nervous test taker. So, I started researching different ACT 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! read more

We've used Sexton Prep, for both ISEE and ACT prep and I highly recommend their service. Courtney worked with our daughter before taking the ISEE and then roughly 6 years later for the ACT and it was a great experience both times. One thing I really appreciated is that they didn't try to oversell or recommend extra time or services we didn't need. The entire process was straightforward and we weren't pushed into excessive sessions. My daughter was given clear goals and assigned work in between sessions. It worked very well and she had great results. One final note, Sarah was easy to work with for initial consultation and billing. read more

As a recent college graduate, I was looking for a part time, flexible job while I waited to continue my education. Ben Sexton was my ACT tutor in high school, so I reached out to see if the company was in need of academic tutors. I was thrilled when they gave me the opportunity to join their tutoring staff. Being a tutor in this company and hopefully helping students achieve some of their goals (as I did thanks to the ACT tutoring I received from Ben) has been incredibly rewarding. During my waiting period after college, I had a lot of free time, which I was not used to after a busy college schedule. Being a tutor gave me structure, a purpose, and something to look forward to each week. Each of my students taught me different lessons about how to teach and how to learn. These lessons will be very helpful in my career. As I begin a new year of school, I am truly disappointed that I can't continue to tutor due to my other professional commitments, but I'm so grateful for the learning opportunity and professional growth that I was able to achieve thanks to Sexton Prep! read more

Simply the best test prep service around. We used another firm for ISEE and SSAT and although good--they did not compare to Sexton Test Prep. The instructors are top notch and my kid's respected and appreciated their expertise. My daughter's ACT score went up 5 points with Sexton! I highly recommend! read more

Ben is an exceptional tutor! My son went up 400 pts. between his PSAT score and his SAT score with his help. Ben has a calm and authoritative demeanor and my hard to please teen actually looked forward to his time with him. In addition, from a parents perspective, he was a pleasure to work with, always prompt, professional, and courteous. read more

We have worked with two extremely effective tutors from Sexton Test Prep and they are always on time and well-prepared. The tutors are well-versed with respect to the content and pacing of all of the standardized tests and come up with a plan customized to the way your child learns and targeted to overcome any deficit areas they may have. I have found that using a tutor from Sexton Test Prep takes a lot of pressure of what can be a very stressful time for students. In short, well worth the investment. read more
