“My time spent with Margaret was one of the best investments I've made. She started off as someone who would simply help me with test prep, but soon evolved into one of the best supportive figures in the college admissions process. Invest in yourself. Find the perfect mentor. Expand your future with Margaret. You won't regret it.”

—Andrew Z., Stanford University
"Margaret is amazing! She is professional, caring, efficient, and extremely good at her job. A key element that sets Margaret’s coaching apart from others is that she respects the limited time of her clients and can pack a week’s worth of information into a single meeting! Before we found Margaret, my kids tried other coaches and found they wasted time and were not helpful. If you have a busy high school student who wants to ace the SAT, Margaret is perfect! She also has valuable insight into the entire college application process. My kids will definitely be calling Margaret again as they prepare for grad school!"

—Kara I., mother of Adra & Grace, University of Pennsylvania & Brown University
"Margaret taught me test-taking skills that helped me not only receive a score on the SAT far beyond my expectations (1540) but also have a leg up in other tests throughout my education. She is a kind, engaging, and supportive coach with unique insight into how to do well on standardized tests and a talent in connecting with her students. My experience with her has been invaluable to my academic success."

—Miranda C,. Vassar College
"Margaret is an awesome tutor and has incredible knowledge of the SAT! Working with her got me a 1570 on my first try! She was also incredible in helping me with my college application as she has an awesome wealth of knowledge on the process."

—Grace I., Brown University
