Testimonials

Thank you SO MUCH for your assistance. Becky looked forward to working with her tutor each day, and it made both our lives easier by eliminating the parent-child pressure and resistance factors! We are recommending you to her classmates, their parents, and the counselors at Saint Mary's College High School.
-Tricia, Rodeo parent

We knew our daughter would do best one-on-one, and a friend recommended PrepPoint. The tutor came to our home and Lauren felt completely at ease with her. She focused on the specific areas Lauren needed to address as well as overall testing strategies. Her score rose 290 points!
-Karen, Pleasanton parent

When my daughter's health problems required home teaching, a teacher and the VP both recommended PrepPoint. It exceeded our expectations for helping our daughter in French. She had fallen far behind, so we hoped for simply a passing grade, but she earned a strong B! Even her teacher was quite impressed that she was able to do so well, which our daughter credited to her fantastic tutoring.
-Livermore parent

Nathan's SAT score improved by 100+ points with just 2 sessions. We will be calling on you again in the future.
-Ray, San Anselmo parent

Just wanted to let you know the good news that our daughter got her first "A" on her geometry test! Definitely from the results of your tutoring. We are off to a great start and excited about our PrepPoint tutor. In the past, we've worked with other service providers who didn't take the time to clearly match our needs with their pool of tutors, resulting in a negative experience for all.
-Josiane Feigon, San Francisco parent

Mikey is getting SO MUCH out of working with your tutor you wouldn't believe it. They really connected, and for the first time in his life he's finally learning how to study. His grades have gone from D's to solid B's and even A's.
-Mike Azevedo, Pleasanton parent

I was very impressed by the level of service and degree of help you provided! Your suggestions were right on and very helpful! Thank you so much. I will continue to suggest you to all my friends!
-Alan

Joelle's score went up by 100 points after only 4 hours of one-on-one with you!!!! What a remarkable improvement. She told one of her friends about her results. Her friend's mom has already asked me for your name and number, since she had been considering sending her daughter to one of your competitor's 2-day group classes. Thank you so much for helping her to be successful.
-Sheryl Goodman, Livermore parent

Exceptional!
-Monica

I just wanted to let you know how pleased we have been with your tutoring of our son. We have seen a dramatic improvement in his math understanding and confidence. Your approach provided the perfect blend of concept explanation and encouragement that resulted in gains far beyond our expectations [with ACT math improving from top 30% to top 5%].
-Art Closson, Pleasanton parent

Thanks for an awesome job.
-Rishi

I really like my tutor and already recommended her to my friends.
-Ming

Thank you so much for your insightful suggestions and superb feedback. The editor was extremely helpful in both helping me find confidence in what I had written, as well as assisting me with grammatical conventions.
-Sahil

I appreciated being able to communicate my goals to the tutor, and have her tailor the sessions to meet them. It's more than just knowing the subject matter, as a peer tutor would; it's being able to set a strategy to meet a goal, while keeping it fun and engaging for the student--and PrepPoint does that very well.
-Susan, parent

I like the time the editor took to carefully review my essay and perfectly answer the questions I had.
-Sandra

I am going to request a third essay consultation. I think this speaks for itself how satisfied I am.

-Yicheng

I liked how PrepPoint discussed strategies specifically for the SAT. I found it really improved the way I thought and approached the questions.
-Heather

I will recommend this to all my friends!
-Hsin-Ying

Applying to schools is pretty nerve wracking. I was able to put all of my thoughts onto the paper but went blank when I was trying to do the final improvements on making my paper flow. [The college advisor] was able to keep my voice but help me find ways to express what I was thinking. With essays, you need to capture your audience, which I have a hard time doing and this helped me improve. Thanks!
-Chandra

[The college advisor] improved all the essays and I like them a lot.
-Michihiko

Everything you taught us was very helpful.
-Kelly

I feel it really made a difference. Thank you.
-Alex

Heather's tutor was very professional, approachable, reassuring, sincere, and a great role model. Heather actually looked forward to every meeting and felt that it was very worthwhile! Afterwards, she said "I got a lot out of that!" and felt very relaxed and confident about the test.
-Kristy Jue, Dublin parent

The tutoring my daughter received was in the home and extremely effective. My daughter is an athlete so time for her is limited. She met with her tutor approximately 8 times for 2 hours a day to obtain nearly perfect scores on many parts of the ACT and a composite score of 32.
-Alamo parent

When it came to college essay review we chose to work with the founder. Eva is an outstanding instructor; with her assistance, our daughter was able to dig deep and write truly memorable college essays which helped her gain acceptance to her first-choice school, Brown University. In addition, we observed that working with Eva sharpened our daughter's written communication skills.
-Prudence Minnihan, Alamo parent

Just wanted to thank you for the great tutor you sent us! He has been tutoring our son for three weeks, and they have been able to catch up on all of the Chemistry work that my son missed while he was absent from school. We have been so pleased with how quickly our son has been able to bring his grades up to the level they were at before his absence.
-Pleasanton parent

We would not hesitate to recommend your organization to anyone in need of tutoring services.
-Pleasanton parent

Our tutor was wonderful! Thank you!
-Lafayette parent

I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me with SATs and application essays. I was accepted to both Princeton and Harvard, and plan on attending Harvard!
-Jelena Cyr, Livermore student

I just wanted to tell you again how much I liked your edit of T's personal statement. We had already put a good deal of time and thought into it, but you have an ability to really bring out the best points in an interesting way [and you have] an encouraging rapport that builds their self-confidence.
-Steve, Pleasanton parent

Our tutor is a gem. Thanks so much...I really have to tell you thank you. Love her!
-Alamo parent

I wanted to take a moment to thank PrepPoint for helping our son through the entire college preparation process. [Our tutor] is thoroughly knowledgeable, her teaching skills are unmatched, and her enthusiasm and dedication is what made our son's dreams of getting into a fantastic school possible. Thank you PrepPoint!
-Danville parent

Thank you so much for your help with my application process. Your help
-

was invaluable. I was accepted to a number of schools that I thought
-

were a reach for me. From interview skills to essay polishing, you
-

were integral to my application presentation. I now have the nice
-

problem of deciding where to go because I didn't realize I would have
-

so many choices.
