I can't rave enough about Koach Kam. Searching on Thumbtack for a test prep tutor was a bit of a "Hail Mary" pass for us, after months of trying to find just the right effective tutor to help a son prep for the SAT and ACT tests. But after chatting with some of the providers that responded, she stood out right off the bat for high responsiveness and no-nonsense professionalism. Sure enough, our confidence that she was the right choice only grew after we had her and with each session. She managed to get through to a son, who was not necessarily thrilled with test prep and has trouble focusing, especially at the end of a long day of school, homework and intense sports. Koach Kam truly lives up to that name as I viewed her more as a coach than straight tutor. She started off by taking the time to get to know my kid, relate him and get him to trust her. She did this by asking him about music and other shed interests. And then she got on with the seriois business of imparting knowledge and, most importantly, practical tips for aceing the tests. She was firm and strict when necessary, but also you could always sense that she cared, given him a boost when he did great or needed one and letting him know that he could do it. Like that coach that is tough on you but you know they always have your back. She was actually 20-30 minutes early to almost every session and was an all-round professional and pleasure to having at our home. Well, the taste of the pudding is in the eating -- we just received the results from his ACT test. His score went from 28 to 33!! I just about fell out of my chair when we opened the envelope and saw the score! In addition to a perfect score in Reading (which had been the most challenging area for him previously), he received close to perfect scores into other areas. Interestingly enough, the one subject where he did least well was math, normally his best subject at school. But we'd requested that the tutoring focus on the areas where he had trouble because of time constraints (we'd found had just 4 weeks before the test date and wanted to use the few sessions that we had for maximum focus in the 3 subjects that were more challenging for him). If we needed additional proof of the "Kam Effect" and impact on his score, this was it. I have no doubt he'd have gotten a perfect score or close, had he also benefited from her tutelage in that last subject. Thank you, Koach Kam. We are huge and lifelong fans!

Coach Kam worked with my son to improve his Math SAT scores. Although we haven’t received the results yet, he did feel extremely better prepared for his test. She was thorough and helped him through concepts for better testing skills.
