ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION
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 Michael’s SAT score over 300 points to 1530, but he consistently shared valuable and reliable resources from his own experience as a scholar-athlete, even connecting our son with current students and alumni at the colleges he was targeting. We are immensely thankful to Jonathan for his guidance.”
COLLEGE READINESS
“Jonathan was prompt, communicative, and consistently professional in his work with our daughter. Not to mention effective — he helped raise [Emily’s] math and English grades to the A-range. Emily then decided to work with Jonathan further on her college essay and AP coursework. We are so proud of her. We recommend Jonathan without reservation.”
