Testimonials

 As a UK student applying to the US, prepping for the SATS is a stressful process. Finding a good tutor is key, and I was greatly impressed by Elizabeth’s knowledge and experience. She was quickly able to identity my areas of weakness and went through problems in a clear, methodical way. I was able to approach test day confidently. I wholeheartedly recommend Elizabeth – it’s rare to find someone with such expertise outside of London.

From LinkedIn: I saw this work anniversary notification and thought I would take the opportunity to thank you for your help 6 years ago in helping our daughter prepare for and secure a place at her dream College. After graduating with Distinction (Political Science) Yale Class of 2022 she will return to London to study Law having recently accepted an offer from a top magic circle law firm. The liberal arts degree was a perfect choice for her and she has had an amazing 4 years. Congratulations on your work anniversary! — Parent Student July 2022

Thank you so much for all you have done. I have just made payment now. Regardless of the results of tomorrow’s test, I just wanted to report that you have done more than we could have ever hoped for.

From the very first session, J. said ’She’s brilliant.’ I cannot tell you how blessed we feel to have found you and had the opportunity of your simply amazing teaching. Sure it seems expensive when first told the price but given what has been achieved, you are truly worth every penny and more.  I feel immensely grateful that we have had the opportunity to pay for such high level tutelage. If only there were a million Elizabeth’s to help the world's students.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Parent, Sports Scholar Dec 2022

Earlier today I checked my SAT result and manage to score 1060! I’m really happy with my result as I believe it was my best score to date. I’m especially happy about it as I wasn’t even able to use to extra time as my parents and I thought we sorted it out but clearly not. Thank you so much for helping me over the last few months I really appreciate it.  —Student, Sports Scholar 2023

I know M. has been in touch, but I personally wanted to thank you for your time and support that you gave to him. His face when we opened his results was priceless. —Parent January 2023

A quick thank you for squeezing in B. for those last few revision sessions. We saw a bump in his SAT score from 960 to 1050 and he’s really pleased with that progress. I think and hope you’ll be in demand for as long as you want. We will certainly recommend you. Parent, Sports Scholar 2023

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your help with the exams and for your great advice and help with the application.

We were extremely lucky to find Elizabeth, who has helped our daughter to prepare for the SAT. Not only could our daughter see a significant improvement to her performance on all sections of the test, Elizabeth made her feel comfortable about the SAT. Elizabeth is amazing. We strongly recommend her tutoring to those who seek to boost their SAT score. — VM and AU - parents

Thanks for all your help — HP, parent May 2022

Just wanted to let you know that I did much better this time around. My single score was 2280 (740, 780, 760 (10 in the essay) in Reading, Maths, Writing), with a super score of 2300. I’m glad I retook it and want to thank you for all your help with the preparation and during the Monday sessions. — AM, student

Thought you would like to know I just got my ACT scores back. I got 35 :) Thank you for your help! — LM, Student

Elizabeth tutored our son one-to-one over a year’s time beginning with a full assessment to decide between the SAT and the ACT. That decided, our son’s performance on a baseline test was evaluated for strengths and weaknesses and then the appropriate instruction, explanations and exercises were given to improve understanding of the questions and mechanics of the test and how to approach the questions and timing. With constant monitoring of the process and the practice test results our son went from strength to strength which resulted in a much improved score over time. This was due partly to the learning of the techniques and partly due to the consistent monitoring with dates and times set for the practice work to be completed. This regular strategical practice set a rhythm of study which was of great benefit in not losing momentum. We would happily recommend Elizabeth’s services when it comes to tackling these standardized tests. — MP, Parent Nov 2018

It was a really useful and great experience for me, and I wanted to thank you so much for recommending Sean to me. He was a really great teacher and I found that I’m much more prepared to take the SAT in October and to study independently for the next couple of weeks. — A A -- Student

I completed my final practice test 2 weeks ago and scored 1540- my first time over 1500 so I was very pleased. Your tutoring definitely helped so thank you very much! — -- EC, Student 2019

My results came in a few days ago, I’m so sorry but my celebrations were cut short by the school assessments and I forgot to let you know - I got a 34 (on the ACT test) ! Thanks so much for all your help. — DW -- Student

I am very grateful for all the help Elizabeth gave my son. She was able to give him a better idea of how to handle the SAT test in a short time so that he was able to improve significantly. Also, she was always reachable at any time of the day in a very personal and cordial manner. I would recommend her to any student wanting to sit the SAT. — I, Parent

The results have been released and Pierce’s results were outstanding. Please see (Score report) below. Thank you for your help and support. — TW, Parent

I just checked my results and I got a 34! Thank you so much for helping me :) — -KL, student 2016

As a foreign speaker, the SAT test can be quite a challenge, especially the Critical Reading section. However, with Elizabeth’s help I managed to up my score significantly in a small amount of time. I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting to score high test results. Her knowledge, experience and helpfulness is truely magnificent. Many thanks for all the help and motivation, the trust and the belief. — M, Student

I am still trying to get my head around my son’s results. Thank you Elizabeth, your methods did the trick! My son’s improvement was remarkable with an increase of 120 points on his Math score and 60 points on his Critical Reading Score. With his higher SAT scores, his target schools are within reach. This is our second time around working with you, and we will definitely be asking you to help our third teenager with her SAT/ACT preparation. — AV, parent

"First off I need to say Dan is a fantastic instructor in terms of his actual teaching skills and enthusiasm to help his students. He worked very closely with me and ensured he understood my strengths and weaknesses in order to develop a tailored study plan that best suited my goals & objectives.

One of the many qualities of Dan that I would like to highlight here is his ability to be both practical and theoretical—he will teach you the most efficient ways to tackle math questions while ensuring you understand the reasoning behind those equations and theories. I can confidently say that studying from Dan will help you develop quantitative reasoning skills that will last for a life time because he will teach you "why" you do certain things rather than just teaching you what to do.

Finally I truly enjoyed studying from Dan because I can tell he was thrilled when I solved tough questions or applied theories that I learnt from him. He genuinely cared about my success. I recommend Dan to anyone seriously trying to improve his / her scores. — SN -- Student

I can highly recommend Elizabeth as an SAT tutor. She worked with my daughter weekly for a few months, and really helped to focus my daughter’s study efforts and improve her scores. The College Board tests mathematics in a way that students from the UK may learn differently at school. Additionally, the essay section requires advance thought and preparation. Elizabeth helped guide my daughter to learn the style that was expected, and the types of questions she may encounter on the exam. My daughter improved her test scores significantly as a result. — LM, Parent

After my son took the SATs the first time Elizabeth worked with him over several months. His score on the second sitting rose by 220 points. The coaching started with an assessment of where my son was and what he needed to work on, and then proceeded with practice tests followed by remote review sessions over Skype. Elizabeth was effective in identifying specific areas and topics on all three tests where my son needed to improve and communicating those to him. The improvement in my son’s score speaks for itself; we are grateful to Elizabeth for her effective coaching and would recommend her highly to others. — R MN, Parent of student now at Amherst College

Nick’s SAT score is in. He got 1400 which I think equates to around 2000 and puts him in the 97th percentile - so easily enough for Northwestern. Thank you so much for your help! — SB, parent

Ms Elizabeth is an excellent tutor the SAT. Her vast experience and expertise is reflected in her caring approach to teaching, which gave me confidence that I would do well in the SATs. This is especially reassuring for students who are unfamiliar with this way of testing. She tailor-makes her lessons to suit your needs and ensures vast improvements in your score provided you follow her advice. I really appreciated her help tutoring me and helping me achieve my goals! — A C, Student

We wanted to thank you for all the help you gave (our son). It clearly made a big difference as he improved quite dramatically on two of the three and was able to get his total score well over the 2000 mark! — JM, Parent

Elizabeth has been a valuable source of support and information for my daughter’s US University applications. Her methods have helped my daughter to sharpen her SAT skills, to focus her approach to the common application essay and to plan her Early Decision and Regular Decision applications. Elizabeth has been always at hand when needed and quick to respond to any questions or dilemmas which we had. She is the ‘calm in storm’ in applying to US Universities. We will be using Elizabeth when our next two children are ready to apply. Thank you Elizabeth! — AV, Parent

I would recommend Elizabeth to anyone taking the SAT’s. She is very good at explaining why each answer is right and why the wrong ones are wrong. I learned a lot from our sessions. I also didn’t feel pressured to understand the answer straight away; I felt confident in asking about something if I didn’t understand. — AP, Student

Elizabeth helped our son prepare for the SAT. Their time together and the work she set him really made a big difference. He understood how to take the test and as a result his confidence increased and he was really able to focus on areas that would improve his overall score. His results really tell the whole story. He dramatically improved on two of the three and got the overall score he was looking for plus some! — John, Parent

I really learnt a lot with Elizabeth. She helped me improve drastically throughout my lessons with her. She was particularly good at teaching me to pick out the fine details in the texts and applying them to the answers. Elizabeth made our lesson enjoyable and relaxed and I would definitely recommend her to anyone about to take the SATs. — AM, Student now at Brown

Highly recommended. I’ve improved my score by over 300 points. Especially helpful to me in the Critical Reading sections. — DM, Student

Thank you again for supporting our daughter. We are pleased with how well she did. — LP, Parent
