Real Testimonials — SAT/ACT/PSAT Tutoring
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Student review from John H.:
“I started seeing Michael in Palo Alto during my senior year to improve my SAT scores. His unique approach involved taking practice tests and meeting one-on-one to review answers. His encouragement and detailed feedback kept me motivated. I raised my reading score by over 100 points, saw big improvements in writing and math, and even scored a perfect 800 on the SAT II Math. I truly believe I couldn’t have done it without him. His method works, and I look back on the experience with gratitude.”
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Student review from Matthew M.:
“Michael helped me prepare for the SAT and SAT IIs for about a year. His focused yet energetic approach made the process effective and surprisingly enjoyable. My SAT score improved by 300 points, and my SAT IIs went from average to nearly perfect. While standardized testing isn’t fun, Michael made it something I actually looked forward to, and his motivation helped me push myself to succeed.”
