Testimonials

Thank you SO MUCH for your assistance. Becky looked forward to working with her tutor each day, and it made both our lives easier by eliminating the parent-child pressure and resistance factors! We are recommending you to her classmates, their parents, and the counselors at Saint Mary's College High School.
-Tricia, Rodeo parent

We knew our daughter would do best one-on-one, and a friend recommended PrepPoint. The tutor came to our home and Lauren felt completely at ease with her. She focused on the specific areas Lauren needed to address as well as overall testing strategies. Her score rose 290 points!
-Karen, Pleasanton parent

When my daughter's health problems required home teaching, a teacher and the vice principal both recommended PrepPoint. It exceeded our expectations for helping our daughter in French. She had fallen far behind, so we hoped for simply a passing grade, but she earned a strong B! Even her teacher was quite impressed that she was able to do so well on her tests, which our daughter credited to her fantastic tutoring.
-Livermore parent

Nathan's SAT score improved by 100+ points with just 2 sessions. We will be calling on you again in the future.
-Ray, San Anselmo parent

Just wanted to let you know the good news that our daughter got her first "A" on her geometry test! Definitely from the results of your tutoring. We are off to a great start and excited about our PrepPoint tutor. In the past, we've worked with other service providers who didn't take the time to clearly match our needs with their pool of tutors, resulting in a negative experience for all.
-Josiane Feigon, San Francisco parent

Mikey is getting SO MUCH out of working with your tutor you wouldn't believe it. They really connected, and for the first time in his life he's finally learning how to study. His grades have gone from D's to solid B's and even A's.
-Mike Azevedo, Pleasanton parent

I was very impressed by the level of service and degree of help you provided! Your suggestions were right on and very helpful! Thank you so much. I will continue to suggest you to all my friends!
-Alan

Joelle got her results last Saturday, and her score went up by 100 points after only 4 hours of one-on-one with you!!!! What a remarkable improvement. She told one of her friends about her results. Her friend's mom has already asked me for your name and number, since she had been considering sending her daughter to one of your competitor's 2-day group classes. Joelle said she used the strategy of only answering 75% of the questions and that seemed to be the key. Even though she was tempted a few times to guess, she took your advice. Thank you so much for helping her to be successful.
-Sheryl Goodman, Livermore parent

I am very grateful to my tutor. Her critique and professional work on my essays took them to a higher level, making me feel more confident about them and giving me new ideas to explore. Excellent job!
-Raul

You really improved my chance of admission.
-Zhao

I was accepeted at Yale, McGill, and Sarah Lawrence. I want to thank you a lot for the help you gave me. As you can see, it really paid off!
-Jack Mirkinson, San Francisco student

Exceptional!
-Monica

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we have been with your tutoring of our son. In the four months you have been working with him, we have seen a dramatic improvement in his math understanding and confidence. Your approach provided the perfect blend of concept explanation and encouragement that resulted in gains far beyond our expectations [with ACT math improving from top 30% to top 5%].
-Art Closson, Pleasanton parent

The information was given in a way I could understand.
-Andrew

Thanks for an awesome job.
-Rishi

I really like my tutor and already recommended her to my friends.
-Ming

Thank you so much for your insightful suggestions and superb feedback. The editor was extremely helpful in both helping me find confidence in what I had written, as well as assisting me with grammatical conventions.
-Sahil

I appreciated being able to communicate my goals to the tutor, and have her tailor the sessions to meet them. It's more than just knowing the subject matter, as a peer tutor would; it's being able to set a strategy to meet a goal, while keeping it fun and engaging for the student--and PrepPoint does that very well.
-Susan, parent

This was well worth the time and energy!
-Kristin

I like the time the editor took to carefully review my essay and perfectly answer the questions I had.

I want to tell you your work is really impressive.
-Yeo

Thank you so much for all of your help. I knew that I had a good essay before, but now I know my essay is stronger and flows much better than before.
-Valerie

Thanks again for the great input.
-Tony

Great comments about strengthening the essay.
-Kristin

I liked how PrepPoint discussed strategies specifically for the SAT's format. My previous SAT study group focused more on doing the math/verbal sections correctly rather than the strategies I could use on the SAT. I found it really improved the way I thought and approached the questions.
-Heather

The commentary on each paragraph was extremely helpful. Kudos!
-Isabella

Really improved my essay so much!
-Yuri

The work is great! I will recommend this to all my friends!
-Hsin-Ying

Applying to graduate school is pretty nerve racking. I was able to put all of my thoughts onto the paper but went blank when I was trying to do the final improvements on making my paper flow. [The essay review] was able to keep my voice of the essay but help me find ways to express what I was thinking. With essays, you need to capture your audience, which I have a hard time doing and this helped me improve. Thanks!
-Chandra

My editor improved all the essays and I like them a lot.
-Michihiko

Everything you taught us was very helpful.
-Kelly

I feel it really made a difference. Thank you.
-Alex

Heather's tutor was very professional, approachable, reassuring, sincere, and a great role model. Heather actually looked forward to every meeting and felt that it was very worthwhile! Afterwards, she said "I got a lot out of that!" and felt very relaxed and confident about the test.
-Kristy Jue, Dublin parent

Thank you, PrepPoint! My daughter's tutor was a jewel! My daughter learned great test-taking skills through her sessions.
-Susan Putnam, Pleasanton parent

I just wanted to let you know that my daughter did great on her ACT! 32!!! 3 points up!! Thanks to Lauren! She was outstanding...a great tutor and a great influence.
-Kim, Alamo parent

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! Matthew just got his scores...a 170 point improvement! I know he couldn't have done it without you. You have a customer for life (or at least until our three other kids graduate from High School!)! He was so happy and proud of the improvement he showed - we are too! This is truly a better reflection of his capability, and with your help, he has a much better shot at getting in to his "dream" schools! Thanks again - we are so thrilled with the results! Warmly,
-Paige, Pleasanton parent

I've been meaning to email you and just haven't gotten around to it...I just wanted you to all know that we absolutely L O V E Rosa...she is a just terrific...we have had her for a year and Mackenzie just adores her...she tutored her through Geometry where she got an A the first semester and a B+ the second BUT mid year, she changed schools and text books and both Rosa and Mackenzie had to re-adjust. We are on to Algebra 2 trig next year and Rosa will be an integral part of our "team." I have recommended your services to many people and in my immediate "group" of 9 women, 4 have already used you! So thank you for the wonderful tutors you provide! Warmest regards,
