Chana was wonderful. She tutored my son Ilan in English/reading on the SATs. She quickly connected to Ilan and was able to see where his strengths and weaknesses were, and she honed in on target areas to improve. She assigned manageable weekly assignments, he stuck to the tasks and engaged in the material for her to review each week. Chana was committed to the process, always on time and kept in close communication with me, his mom, as to expectations and scores. As his tutor, Chana had a plethora of study material that paced him along. Well organized structured, helpful and effective - scores improved. Ilan is my youngest - I have gone to several places with my other kids. I wish I had found Chana years ago!

Our daughter worked with Chana prepping for the SAT. We were very pleased with how comprehensive she was in identifying the areas that needed the most work and how well prepared she was for each session. She explained the concepts that were new in ways that were effective and she built confidence in our daughter as well as increased her scores.

I scored a 35 on my ACT! Here was the breakdown of scores: Reading 36, English 35, Science 34 and Math 36. I was so happy that I can put the ACT behind me and not have to take it again. Thank you Chana for everything you have done to prepare me for the test! It paid off!

I had Chana as my ACT tutor for all sections, including the writing portion. The course material was paced nicely, and Chana was very encouraging throughout the program. I took my first ACT shortly after the sessions concluded and scored a 34, which was a 6-point improvement from the initial practice test. I am super pleased with the experience and results!

Chana was my tutor for the ACT. Our goal was to boost my overall score by at least 2 points. I was provided with very effective materials and feedback which, in turn, helped me increase my composite ACT score by 4 points! I especially appreciated how much Chana cared about me as a student; my goals were also her goals. Chana was always very punctual, helpful, and congenial. Thank you for all of your help, Chana!

Chana tutored me for the ACT. I saw a lot of improvement on my practice tests and then on my real test! My grades in school also improved as I was being tutored. Chana was very patient and made sure I understood everything before moving on. If I didn’t understand something one way, she would explain it again in a different way until I understood!! The communication was great – we were able to work around my very busy schedule. I personally appreciated the effort that was given because I felt like Chana genuinely cared about me retaining the information so that I could score well on my ACT!

Our son Josh was offered over $50,000 in awards to a top-choice school, and we truly believe his beautiful ACT score of 35 helped him get that amazing awards package! Thanks Chana for all your help!

I saw a big difference between my ACT test results from before and after my tutoring sessions with Chana. The tutoring was very beneficial as the material was very helpful, with both the practice tests and the lessons. Additionally, I appreciated the organized, supportive and non-judgmental environment that was created. My score improved very much, and I am very thankful for these tutoring sessions.

I scored a 1530 on my SAT: 790 on Math and 740 on English. I felt so relieved that I got the score I was hoping for on the first test. Thank you so much for all your help!

Thanks for all your help, I went from a 30 to a 33 on my ACT. I’m so happy - I wouldn’t have been able to do it without you!

My son Jason had a great improvement over his first test. He got a 33 on English, which was the most difficult area for him the first time around. Thanks for all your help preparing him!

Ms. Tolchin was an amazing tutor! She was very patient and helped me in areas of writing where I struggled. She helped me improve my grammar and essay writing skills. I use a lot of the skills she taught me when I am writing essays or doing English assignments for school.

- Sanjna L.

Ms. Tolchin was a great tutor. She really helped me improve my essay writing techniques. She also helped me with my English schoolwork to get a better understanding of it. She was very encouraging and never made me doubt myself about the ideas I had when writing essays about the various topics we were discussing. I was able to improve my English grades in school from learning more about how to write with her.
