Featured Testimonial

Joan Barickman is a master SAT tutor. She worked with my daughter to prepare her for the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the SAT exam. The results were remarkable and my daughter attributes her success to her work with Joan. In fact, after the test, my daughter commented that she felt she could hear Joan’s voice as she took the exam, reminding her of the best strategies for attacking each question. With Joan’s guidance, my daughter saw extraordinary improvement in her scores from her first practice test to the actual SAT administration, and she needed to take the SAT exam only once to achieve her desired scores. Joan also worked with my daughter to prepare her for the SAT Subject Test in Literature and the AP exams in both English Language and Literature. Not only did Joan help my daughter achieve excellent results, she also provided a supportive and engaging environment during the tutoring sessions. Instead of viewing her tutoring sessions as drudgery, my daughter looked forward to working with Joan and found that the support Joan provided significantly reduced the stress of the test-taking process.
