Sarah played a big role in helping our son gain admission to Harvard. Sarah joined our son’s admissions process when we were all feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost, and she navigated the process with wisdom, compassion, and skill. Sarah helped shape our son's entire educational experience, and for that we are forever grateful.

First I'd like to thank them for the work their tutors did with Lauryn. She was accepted to 8 out of 9 of the schools she applied to, was given scholarship money at 7 out of 8 that she was accepted to, and has decided to attend Villanova. She's been given a full academic scholarship for 4 years. I know none of this would have happened without the SAT scores she achieved I've heard too many heartbreaking stories recently of top students who did not get into the schools of their choice - there is no doubt in my mind it was due to their SAT scores not being what they could have been. THANK YOU!”

Maureen is an excellent tutor. We were fortunate that she was able to tutor all three of our kids - over a span of 8 years on both the SSAT and SAT. After working with Maureen, each of our children did significantly better on the standardized tests. A very experienced tutor, Maureen is smart, organized, creative and really seems to love working with kids - and they love working with her. She created a comfortable and supportive learning environment for each of our kids. By teaching them techniques and strategies in such a clear and effective way, Maureen helped them to stay focused and not overwhelmed. She boosted their confidence and, subsequently, helped them boost their test scores. Over the years, we have been so grateful for Maureen's kindness, patience, encouragement and enthusiasm as she helped our children navigate the standardized tests. Needless to say, you really can't get a better tutor than Maureen. I absolutely recommend her!

It was my first professional training after I left college in 2001 and I can say it was a very, very good experience. The instructors at Innsire are experienced and they know what they are teaching. They are career growth focused and work dedicatedly until a student gets a job. I am very happy with their service.

My experience with {AC-a-d'AM'ic} K-12 Tutoring has been amazing so far. My son is in first grade and had been identified as a struggling reader. I signed him up for tutoring right away, and after only a few sessions have already noticed significant changes in his abilities. He is excited about learning and has a confidence about reading that I have never seen in him before. I am excited to see his continued progress with {AC-a-d'AM'ic}!
