Reviews for Hartford SAT tutoring services
Recent success stories from people in the Hartford area.
Ronit B.
He was incredibly helpful in helping me understand the content for AP Chemistry. It’s a hard course in general, and it just happened to be a bit more difficult for me. However, having Minh there to help me with problems and explain principles and laws to me definitely kept me at speed with the course’s fast pace. He is also friendly as a person and gave me advice on colleges, tests, and managing time with APs in high school. His availability and quick response time made it easy to schedule times to meet throughout the year, which was useful for last-minute review sessions before unit tests. I was having a rough time with the challenging material, but with Minh's help I eventually got a passing score on the AP exam. Overall, very knowledgeable and friendly tutor!
