Taking a class with Josh is making an investment in your child’s future. Our daughter wanted to improve her SAT scores, but with a heavy school load and a rigorous swim schedule, Amanda was somewhat worried about making the time commitment. Josh was able break it down into manageable pieces so she could successfully juggle everything. He really took an active interest in her performance on the SAT and in her college search. Not only did he provide her with effective tools and strategies for taking the test, but he also supported and encouraged her every step of the way. After completing the course, Amanda had all the confidence she needed, and her SAT score improved 290 points! As parents, we couldn’t be prouder or more pleased with the preparation Josh gave our daughter! Amanda’s college options are wide open thanks to the investment we made with Josh.

As I studied a magazine that listed various college statistics, I realized that, even though my grades were where they should be, my chances of getting into the college of my choice were marred by one simple number: my SAT score. I then decided that I would take an SAT preparation class. After much searching, the prices of the tutors were disheartening. Then, one night, I got a message from a local SAT coach who was significantly more reasonable than the others. It was purely divine timing. There was no question at this point. I signed up for the class.
Apart from the actual tutoring, I got to know my tutor, Josh, as a person and he was genuinely concerned with my well-being and future education. We discussed literature, music, and popular culture and all things nerdy. We spoke of such authors as Vonnegut and many others. He was full of life and knowledge which he so willingly shared with me. I received far more from that SAT class than a boost in my scores. He made me believe in my abilities and gave me the confidence to apply to a prestigious school which, before meeting him, I might have otherwise talked myself out of doing
Not only did my SAT scores go up over two hundred points, but I was able to confidently apply to and be accepted to a great university.. Now I have been accepted and plan to attend the George Washington University in the fall. I highly recommend Josh to any high school student who feels hopeless when it comes to the SATs.

"Before starting the course, all of us took a practice exam to establish a baseline by which we could gauge our improvement. I only got 25% of the questions in the puzzle section right, and I knew I would have to do a lot better than that to get into a top law school. Josh was a great teacher - in addition to making our five-hour-long classes interesting and engaging, he also met with us one-on-one to develop individualized test-prep strategy. He really took the time to make sure that I was on track and doing all the things I needed to do to score as high as I possibly could. I always felt that Josh was available to answer questions and give advice, and by the time the LSAT date rolled around, I was consistently getting at least 75% of all puzzle questions correct. My LSAT score went up 8 points from the baseline practice test, and I know that Josh was just as proud as I was when I scored 170. I graduated from Harvard Law School in 2005, and I doubt I would have gotten in without Josh's test prep help".

"I had never taken a test prep class until it came time to study for the LSAT prior to applying to law school. I needed a high score to get into a top school, and Josh's teaching helped me get there. He not only showed me helpful techniques but also provided constant reassurance that I could continue to increase my score. Josh provided encouragement while I took practice test after practice test and helped me to avoid practicing bad habits. On test day, I scored higher than I ever had before -- 12 points higher than my baseline. Josh is a great teacher, and he cares greatly about the success of each and every one of his students."

"Josh was by far the best test prep instructor I have ever worked with! I met Josh back in 2004 when I decided to study for the LSAT. When I originally started working with Josh I was struggling with the reading comprehension section of the exam. Josh spent an immense amount of time with me until I mastered that section of the exam. He was always very patient and explained things in very clear and concise ways. Josh helped me improve my score by 15 points! Josh was amazing on a personal and professional level and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to get into a top school."
