SAT/ACT
“Jonathan worked with energy, enthusiasm, and diligence, connecting with our son in a way we found refreshing and genuine. Not only did Jonathan help raise our son’s SAT score over 200 points to 1530, but he consistently shared valuable and reliable resources from his own experience as a scholar-athlete, even putting our son in contact with current students and alumni at the colleges he was targeting. We are immensely thankful to Jonathan for his guidance.”
