Her tutor was patient, organized, and did a great job explaining things in a way that made sense. They took the time to figure out what she was already doing well and where she needed more practice, then came up with a plan that really worked for her. Scheduling was easy, communication was always clear, and the whole process was stress-free. Best of all, she ended up with a great SAT score! I would definitely recommend Magellan Tutoring to anyone looking for SAT prep.

This Yelp website has not been updated to reflect their move to Vienna, on the Spring Hill Metro on the Silver Line which is at least an hour and a half ride from Alexandria to the school out and back.

Arlene teaches the Suzuki method. At $35 for a 30-minute lesson, her prices are very reasonable. HIGHLY recommend!

If Yelp had extra stars, I would give them all to Melissa. Honestly, there aren't enough words to…read moreexpress how highly I think of her and her teaching capabilities. I work in the field of international development -- where I am a trainer myself and where I work with trainers all the time. I can say without a doubt, Melissa is the best trainer and teacher I have ever come across. She has a real gift. Here are the reasons why: 1) Melissa can put you at ease right away. I knew very little French when I first met her and I was self-conscious about it. Melissa made me feel like I was talking to a best friend. She assured me that I was right where I needed to be for the moment and gave me all the tools and confidence I needed for the moments to come. She made me WANT to speak and WANT to learn. With her, an arduous task became pleasant. She made me feel at ease and capable of learning. 2) She didn't just help me improve during the hours we had class, but she also gave me the right resources to improve outside of class. One of those resources would have cost me hundreds of dollars if I would have purchased it myself, but Melissa gave it to me for free and taught me how to use it. The resources she provided increased my speaking level almost immediately and made French a daily habit for me. 3) Melissa meets you where you are. She can quickly assess your abilities and meet you there. She pushes you just enough. 4) Melissa is so incredibly pleasant. She's kind and she's responsive and she interacts like a friend. She makes you WANT to show up for lessons just to spend time with her, and that is a rare kind of person! 5) You improve! You improve QUICKLY! Before you know it, you are speaking French!!! Even if you are like me -- and you have been convinced all your life that you will never learn a language -- you actually end up learning and speaking! And Melissa celebrates alongside you. She takes joy in your progress! It all feels pretty magical. Simply put, I cannot recommend Melissa enough! She is worthy of all the stars and all the praise!

I just took a GMAT test prep course with Anthony Ritz and it was an amazing experience. The way he…read morecovers the material is extremely engaging and efficient. He focuses on the most relevant and common errors and hits on them over and over till you get it. He is also super available and committed to helping his students who are struggling to get there. It's rare that you find someone so passionate about his work - he does it because he cares and genuinely wants the success of his students. I feel very fortunate to have found this course and am confident that I will well surpass my target score of 720. He is honestly going to be the difference between me going to Stanford vs a community college for business school. I'm sure the rest of Veritas is great too... but nothing beats this guy!

I have just completed my Veritas program (March - April), instructed by Anthony Ritz, and found…read morethis program INCREDIBLY helpful. I found out about Veritas through a friend who previously took the program (who scored a 740). He told me how this program was exactly what he needed to make him get the score that he did eventual receive. I of course was skeptical, and a little intimidated, however, now that the class is complete, I can say with utter confidence that I feel significantly more prepared for the test - and ultimately agree with my friend. I have my test scheduled for later this year and feel much more prepared for the test. 1.) The resources - Veritas has done a great job of providing everyone with all the tools they could ever want to prep for the test. Between a video catalog covering all pre-class work/classes/homework, to the weekly classes, you can never feel lost through the work. 2.) The instructors - As said earlier, my instructor was Anthony Ritz, who keep the class engaging and informative, while keeping everything professional and tailored to what the students needed. 3.) The discipline - While having a 9-to-5 job, it is initially intimidating to consider how you can keep up with the work. But, if you are serious about the test - the discipline is something you need to have, and the Veritas program supports you throughout the development. I recommend this program to anyone who is serious about the GMAT and getting into a top B-school.

John was a wonderful instructor, with a lot of stuff to offer. The sessions were quite intensive and I had to really make effort to be able to follow and absorb all the knowledge. Because schedule conflict, I had to take the exam a few months after the training (which I wouldn't recommend if possible), so I went through all the videos on the resource website, took the mock exam multiple times, starting from fail (even less than 60% correct ) and gradually increased to above 90% correct. I passed the exam the first time. I have to say the exam was not easy (mentally and physically), glad I had the training and reviewed the materials, that's critical for my success.
