Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a full-time professional tutor with over a decade of experience. I also have instructors who work with me who are professional teachers and tutors. My teachers and I keep the lessons fun and engaging. I personally hire all of my instructors. We are a small company with an excellent track record. We have a unique curriculum that is a mix of old and new teaching methods. My business has been chosen as the "Best of Thumbtack" several times. We have coached students to perfect scores on the SAT and ACT. Our students have raised their scores as much as 500 points on the SAT. On the ACT, we have helped students increase their scores as much as 10 points in a single section. Our students have been accepted to every Ivy League University. I enjoy the relationships we develop with families. I particularly enjoy the sense of accomplishment that I get when students achieve their academic and personal goals. There is nothing I like better than hearing that one of our students has been accepted to his or her top choice school. We work hard to help the majority of our students achieve this.

James was the perfect fit for our teenager, for both ACT tutoring and college application/essay coaching. Not only did the ACT scores in question jump 5 points to a high score, but he had a pragmatic and helpful approach to the college process that was very well received. He had a positive outlook and cultivated confidence in our son, who had been a little nervous about the application process. James came to our house and was always polite, professional and on time. So far we've had all positive decisions from colleges and are so grateful!

We couldn’t be more pleased! My daughter needed 2 more points on her ACT to get into the honors college. I googled ACT instructors and received many emails. James’s email was very professional and he responded back very quickly. We live in Iowa and James lives in New York. All classes with my daughter were done online using FaceTime. James never billed without asking first. If you’re looking for an ACT/SAT instructor, I would highly recommend James. We found out this morning, 12/19/2017, when test results were posted, that my daughter actually went up 3 points and made it into honors college. This saved us literally thousands of dollars. Thank you, Janelle

Outstanding company with high quality tutoring. Did 1 on 1 test prep for SAT and SAT Subject Tests for my twin daughters - helping achieve perfect 800 on Math and 750 on Verbal. Also, worked with daughters on Math I and II, and Chemistry subject tests - perfect score achieved on Math II. Appreciated their responsiveness and flexibility to work around schedules. My daughters enjoyed their sessions and the instructors made the sessions interesting.

Our daughter worked with James directly for several months prior to taking the June ACT and as a result of the lessons including one-on-one sessions and follow-up work, her score jumped 10 points! I highly recommend James and his team!!!!
