Our Success Stories
“I want to say how thankful I am that I had Marissa take your SAT prep class. Her overall grade on the SAT increased by 130 points in the Reading and Writing portions! Thank you for all that you have done!
The time spent and cost were more than worth it, and what she has taken away from the class is priceless and will carry her into her college years.”

“Mrs. Preble is more well versed in the English language than anyone else I’ve ever met. She knows the ins and outs of grammar to a T, and she is able to pass this knowledge along seamlessly. Before working with Mrs. Preble, I scored a 680 in the writing section. After several sessions with her, my score leaped to a 730. To put that in perspective, the average national writing score in 2013 was a 487 out of 800. In addition, my reading score jumped from a 650 to a 700. The national average for this section was a 497 in 2013.
Having Mrs. Preble as my teacher in seventh and eighth grades is what gave me the foundation to score as well as I did before tutoring. Working with her again helped to refresh my knowledge, sharpening and reacquiring the skills I had learned in her class four years prior. However, I cannot put enough emphasis on the fact that it is never too late to learn these concepts. Mrs. Preble breaks the language down systematically and pieces it back together like a puzzle. The rules and lessons are very straightforward, and once mastered, make way for effortlessly clean writing and deeper reading.
I highly recommend Mrs. Preble as an SAT tutor. She is a genius in the subject but still manages to bring the material down to an extremely simple level, which is a rare combination to come by. Her services are well worth it.”

“Mrs. Preble is an outstanding teacher and tutor of language arts and reading, one of the best in the country. Mrs. Preble prepared both of my daughters for the rigors of high school and subsequent college SAT entrance exams. Both of my kids were highly influenced by Mrs. Preble and went on to score straight A’s in their AP/IB English honors classes.
If you want your child to excel in language arts and reading, don’t hesitate to give her a call. In the words of my kids: “Dad, she’s the best English teacher we ever had.”

“Mrs. Preble is known to be “the best,” which is why we went to her for help in preparing for the SAT. She’s has earned her reputation as a teacher for the amazing job she does preparing students for high school and beyond. Our son work with her, particularly in annotating, reading comprehension and grammar, was evident both in his performance at school and on the SAT. You truly are the best, Mrs. Preble! Thank you!”

“Mrs. Preble is an extraordinary tutor, very knowledgeable and fantastic with teenagers. After a few sessions, my daughter was able to achieve a near-perfect score on her ACT reading section. Her composite ACT test score is right where it needs to be for her target colleges.
In addition, Mrs. Preble is working with my daughter to brainstorm and craft an impressive essay for her college applications. Mrs. Preble is able to bring out my daughter’s creative sense, allowing her to show her full character. The skills she is learning are not only helpful for her applications but will be utilized throughout her college years.”
