Also, Clay’s individualized attention and his care and investment in things beyond the test all helped to make the experience more enjoyable and effective.

Every aspect of our interactions with Clay struck the right balance between professionalism and warmth. In a pre-meeting, he clearly set out the number of classes he anticipated needing and the total cost as well as the necessary materials required. Scheduling was surprisingly easy, and Clay was very accommodating.

It’s relatively easy to determine if SAT and ACT prep work is effective by looking at scores prior to tutoring and then after. Both of my boys made significant progress, and best of all, they felt much more confident going into the testing. A personal touch was handwritten notes to each boy with final advice and encouragement. Our entire experience could not have been better.

Thanks!
