Testimonials
Mark tutored our son on the SAT, and after his teaching and mentoring, our son raised his superscore 220 points. This was an important component of his being accepted to West Point. Mark also tutored our daughter on the ACT, resulting in her raising her ACT score by 4 points. Our daughter was accepted to the Naval Academy in part on the strength of her ACT score. Mark’s approach to tutoring and mentoring not only helps motivated students to maximize their scores, but also to do so in a relatively short amount of time.

We highly recommend Mark to anyone as an ACT tutor. Mark helped both our older son and daughter in their ACTs with passion and utmost professionalism. He genuinely cared about their performance by not only providing great content and materials but also practical test taking strategies. The proof is in the pudding: our son got 33 out of 36 for his ACT. Our daughter got a perfect 36 on her ACT English and 35 on her Reading! We will definitely have Mark help our younger son. Thank you, Mark!

Mark was my tutor in English writing and reading from 8th grade onward. He is patient, and he prepared me for the ACT and SAT my junior year. I was interested in mechanical engineering, so he guided me in researching engineering programs. He helped me apply to a NYU summer program and then with my applications and essays senior year.

As my first-born entered his junior year of high school, I began to lose sleep wondering how I would help him navigate his college application process. In came Mark, and my anxieties and fears quickly melted away. He mentored our son on every aspect of applying to schools, and in the end, our son found a college that checked all the boxes. We couldn’t have done it without Mark and I’ve recommended him time and time again.

Mark was a fantastic SAT tutor for my twin daughters. He worked with them together but did a great job meeting their individual needs. They felt well prepared and confident and were both thrilled with their scores. They found his strategies to be very helpful and were motivated by his encouragement. Mark has a great demeanor with his students, and it is obvious that he cares about them. We highly recommend Mark!

Mark was a tremendous resource and tutor. My son was not that motivated for prepping but Mark kept him on task and accountable, and after 6 weeks/2 times a week my son went up six points on his ACT. Mark is passionate about what he does and it is obvious that he takes his preparation and tutoring very seriously and thoughtfully. Highly recommend him!
