We used Art to tutor two of our children for both the SAT and ACT.

Art also taught them test taking skills that were very helpful and useful beyond the SAT. We felt his rates were very reasonable and he was always on time.

Here is another 5 star review. At the risk of being redundant, Art Edwards worked with our son to…read moreimprove his math SAT score through a combination of material mastery and test-taking strategies. Our son did his part, doing practice exams and going over them when they met. We had what we thought was a realistic expectation of how much the score might improve and were pleasantly surprised when he scored higher than we'd hoped and expected. Art is able to explain the material as well as how test questions are designed in ways that our son understood and was able to apply. Both not only helped this score, but certainly will contribute in the future. Highly recommended.

I took the 8-week summer SAT prep course with Jen, and with her help, I got a score of 1550 on the…read moreDigital SAT (DSAT) on my first attempt! 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.

Disclaimer: This is the first negative review I have ever written. I have never left a negative…read morereview online, only positive when I'm happy with a business but due to how horrible my experience was with this business, I had to inform others. Prep with Jen is not really prep with "Jen". I went by the Google reviews not realizing that the most recent review was over a year ago... If you are interested in private lessons, be prepared to pay $110+ for an hour and you aren't even getting sessions with Jen. She subcontracts her sessions out to other tutors and has very little oversight over the sessions other than her being cc'd on the summary emails. They don't record sessions (even my son's wyznat tutors record sessions!), and her tutors are not as qualified or engaging as she is. She picks up the phone and talks a lot with you before you sign up, builds a personal plan and approach but once you drop thousands of dollars on her packages, she disappears and only reappears when the tutor summons her over an extremely trivial issue (rescheduling class time requests in our case). She isn't interested in customer service and is only concerned with maximizing her tutors schedule with clients. I would not recommend at all - not only was the tutor not worth the rate, her customer service was horrible after we signed the contract UPDATE: In response to Jen's response, her claims are bogus. Her tutor wasn't happy that we asked to reschedule 3 times out of 8 sessions because of 1 time having the flu , one time a serious car accident and 1 time an unforeseeable conflict! Rather than picking up the phone and discussing with the family, Jen claimed my son was unengaged which was absolute lies! How non empathetic is that?! My son is an honors student with 4.3 GPA so forgive me if I think you're claims are bogus... She has zero evidence to back up her below claims, as my sons score already improved but majorly due to his own studying and not because of her tutors sessions which pretty much was a project management approach of watching my son complete assignments rather than truly explaining concepts. Although we accommodated changes in timing by her tutor for 5 sessions, her tutor for some reason didn't appreciate 3 reschedules and then made these bogus claims of unegagement to Jen that she decided to not even validate with the family. If you want personalized instruction with a tutoring organization that is invested in your personal success, this isn't the place for you.

You don't lose out on test time if you get registered after your scheduled start time. Go inside, take a number, wait to be called. They have lockers to put your stuff away while you take your test. Would recommend wearing clothes with the fewest pockets as you'll be asked to flip them inside out every time you leave the exam room. The room is on the slightly chillier side, would recommend a sweater (I went in February). The people running it know what they're doing, just follow their rules so you don't get flagged. A nice touch was they offered ear plugs. I didn't think to bring any but it was good for me to avoid hearing anyone else typing or clicking.

I am currently a senior looking to apply to colleges. I was very scared going into the summer with…read moreSAT scores I was not happy with. I was able to meet with Ms. Dalby through a referral from my very kind college coach. I spent one month with Ms. Dalby preparing for my SAT and I could not be more grateful. Through our daily sessions, I learned the mistakes I was making and saw the improvements in the routine practice tests we were taking. We took a practice test every other day and then spent the next day going over the problems we missed or questions we did not understand. Ms. Dalby went through each question thoroughly and even went over our time if required. I was able to learn different strategies from Ms. Dalby as well as the other students in the class if they had another way. Ms. Dalby makes sure to prepare us through our in class sessions as well as through her printouts that offers helpful advice from everything grammar related to math must-know sheets. She also makes herself available to the students through phone and email if any questions arise outside of class. Through my summer session, I could tell she is deeply invested in truly helping the students achieve their best potential and is very accommodating to the students needs. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Inspiring Test Prep and attending if you are looking for a Test Prep service.
