Testimonial #2 (Please note that Infiniva is the name of my former test prep company that I owned and operated for about 13 years. And please excuse the bad formatting; Thumbtack does not allow me to format this properly.) Although the choice was initially difficult for me, taking the Infiniva SAT private tutoring was one of the best decisions Ive made. After taking the first diagnostic as part of the classroom course, my score was a 2140. As this is a relatively high score for the first time taking the SAT, Darren, the founder of Infiniva, approached me as a student who could possibly reach the score of 2400. Although I was not sure the private lessons with Darren would be worth the extra cost, I decided to take him up on his suggestions because the SAT is one of the most important tests of a students high school career. I soon learned that I had made the right decision; the individual attention provided by private tutoring was immensely beneficial. Darren and I could focus on math, my lowest section. If there was a problem that I didnt understand, we could slow down and walk our way through it. One of Darrens good methods was the explaining of different ways to answer a problem, ensuring that a student would never look at a problem and not know how to attack it. Because of the focused attention and explanations, every minute spent doing SAT prep was beneficial to me; my time was not wasted on a subject that I was already proficient in. [ . . . ] The Infiniva SAT prep course helped me tremendously. I would recommend this course to any student who needs the guidance to make them prepare ahead of time for this critical test. The structure of lessons and homework made me begin preparing early, which I would not have had the self-discipline to do on top of all my other school work. Also, I would recommend Infiniva to students who need a confidence booster. Nothing eases nerves on the day of the test more than the confidence that you know what to expect. All of the diagnostic SAT tests made me accustomed to the extreme length of the SAT, so by the real thing I could remain focused the whole time. Because of the Infiniva SAT prep course, my score increased 230 points to a 2370. Infiniva prepared me well for the SAT, both by focusing on my weak areas and by increasing my confidence.

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask for the tutor's personal scores on the test. They should be at the 99th percentile or close! Testimonials or references are also great. And ask if there is any sort of guarantee with the service. A great tutor would not be reluctant to offer a guarantee (as long as the student does the work, of course)! And please be willing to pay a little more for a great and very experienced tutor, and definitely be willing to devote enough time (usually a few months) to the course and work in order to achieve the improvements and scores you want.
