Testimonials

 ‘I first decided to pursue the idea of applying to boarding school at the end of 7th grade. I started working with Agnes to improve my SSAT scores, unaware of the amount of work it would actually take to get the scores I wanted to have on my applications. It was apparent from our first meeting that she would do everything in her power to help me achieve the best score I could; pushing me to work harder than I ever had before. Agnes was constantly optimistic for me to get the scores required for the schools I considered to be a reach, which only motivated me to put in an equal amount of effort. I ended up taking the SSAT multiple times, resulting in a score much higher than my original. I credit the greatest majority of my improvement to the coaching provided by Agnes regarding the understanding of topics as well as helpful memorization tactics. I [got accepted into a few boarding schools including Loomis Chaffee, Tabor, Brooks and Middlesex] and am going to be attending Middlesex in the fall, a school which I thought was a big reach at the start of my boarding school search. Agnes developed my knowledge of the mathematics requirements for the SSAT, my vocabulary knowledge as well as techniques for the reading section; helping focus on my areas of struggle in addition to advancing in the topics I considered to be my strong suits.”

 The process of SSAT was very fruitful, prolonged and has lasted for months. With the help of Agnes, I have learned many different skills and techniques that I would be able to utilize not only on the SSAT test but also at school. With the abundant amount of vocab, I have been able to apply them into my writing in my daily life. She taught me shortcuts to many of the complicated math questions. Even though she can sometimes be strict, the final results were very positive and encouraging. I have never hesitated to ask Agnes a question that I didn't understand. Although I have already finished the SSAT, I have continued to go to Agnes's regularly to build on my foundation for future academics. I am grateful to have Agnes as my teacher, and I would recommend her to anyone who is going to be doing the SSAT in the future.
