Our family has worked with LiEr and Darran of Red Gateways for both of our childrens' college application seasons. They took the time we needed to give us an overall perspective on applying to college with our oldest, since we were new to the process. We decided after talking with them that an ala carte service, mostly for help with essays and managing application deadlines, etc. was best for our oldest since the course of study and several colleges had already been selected. We had their support and speedy communication from beginning to end. With our second, we all decided for a more robust full-meal-deal with Red Gateway. Our son participated in several super helpful sessions with the two of them during spring of his junior year to help figure out what his preferences were in terms of a school and studies. The daunting list of thousands of schools and majors became smaller and focused. We were able to schedule a summer college road trip based on their suggestions. They also led him and other students in summer college essay workshops which helped a great deal to get the ideas flowing and so fall of senior year was not such a crunch. Knowing what schools he wanted to apply to before heading into senior year was so fantastic! Of course, there were changes of adding schools, etc., but LiEr and Darran helped us talk through those decisions too. They helped give pointers for essays and discussed with us who would be the best teachers and mentors to ask for letters of recommendations, etc. Red Gateways equips, informs, and cheers you on, start to finish! As parents of current and former college grads, they know what is at stake, and they can help you see it all in perspective too! They are trustworthy, experienced, and wonderful to work with. All my thumbs are up!

Chris Morris-Lent has helped my kids with everything from Pre-Calc and AP World History to ACT/SAT prep. He has a unique skill set with expertise in a wide range of subjects, along with the flexibility to alter his teaching style to best suit the student. He teaches not only academic subjects but also test-taking and studying strategies to streamline the students’ workload and improve test scores. Chris has a very relaxed style, with professional, high standards (in both business and tutoring).

Ms. Diane is absolutely amazing. She was recommended when my son needed tutoring to increase his score on the SAT. My son was applying to a military academy and needed a higher SAT score to be competitive. With only two months to retake his SAT, combined with sports, regular school work, and school activities, Ms. Diane willingly took this challenge on and worked my son into her tutoring schedule. She was patient and caring, had a plan, was on time, and was very good at diagnosing what he needed to work on. As a result, he increased his score by 40 points in only two months with her tutoring assistance. This score was exactly what he needed to be competitive. I can only imagine what his score could have increased to if he worked with her earlier. I can't sing her praises enough. With her tutoring, she played a significant role in his acceptance to a military academy prep school. Thanks to her contributions, he is thriving at a military prep school and doing well. He is happy and looking forward to attending a military academy next year.

My situation was unique. I had serious epileptic seizures during high school resulting in multiple brain surgeries and a long, challenging recovery. Matt entered my life during this time; I still had assignments to complete before graduation and an impending SAT exam, so I met with Matt twice a week and learned the essential concepts of writing and reading comprehension. While math was my strong suit, Matt helped me identify some earlier math concepts that needed refreshing. My initial SAT score prior to my relationship with Matt was 1260, but, after tutoring, I received a 1510 and was accepted by my school of choice for pre-med studies. I continue to meet with Matt two or three times per week during my undergraduate studies for more advanced writing strategies. I cannot imagine a better academic mentor than I have found with Matt.

Yuval is undoubtedly the best tutor I've ever worked with. I took Physics 2 (my hardest subject) at Columbia this spring. With Yuval's help over the course of the entire semester, I was able to score high As on every exam and a high A on the final. He goes above and beyond in every way. He was patient and responsive, worked to make himself available whenever I needed his help, and tailored his tutoring style to my needs. In addition, Yuval made videos outside of our time together to help me grasp topics I was struggling with. Without his help, I absolutely would not have been able to do nearly as well as I did. I have recommended him to everyone I know. If you are looking for a tutor that will blow you away with their intelligence, humor, and commitment to your success, Yuval is definitely your guy!

My son really loves his writing lessons with Prema. He eagerly looks forward to them every week. He had a hard time before but now he is able and willing to express himself better in writing.
