  • Carolyn was a good match for my son – she helped him to improve both his SAT and ACT scores and was willing to work around a busy soccer schedule.

    ~ Rose, Suffern, NY

  • My son had Carolyn as a SAT tutor. She taught him the strategies needed to improve his score by over 200 points, ensuring his placement in his desired school, and earning him an academic scholarship of a third of the tuition! Highly recommend!

  • In a short amount of time, Carolyn helped me brainstorm really great ideas for my essay. With her guidance, the essay was edited and the end result was awesome!

  • Carolyn’s insight and perspective in the college application process is relevant, valuable, and right on target. Her caring, non-judgemental demeanor with the applicants is refreshing. She is available practically on-call. I highly recommend Carolyn for both test prep, essay/supplemental question editing and strategy and general application counseling.
