  • After speaking with several tutoring services, we picked Margaret due to her excellent communication skills and overall plan for our son. Our son who is in 8th grade used Margaret's tutoring services to prep for the SSAT. We are extremely pleased with the outcome. Not only did she focus on where our son needed improvement, she helped with test taking techniques. We highly recommend Margaret. She is certainly worth the investment. Our son came out with better scores due to the time spent with her. We can't wait to use her services for our other son in a few years. Thank you!

  • Both of my daughters were tutored by Margaret of Harvard Tutors for over a year and I have nothing but great things to say. Margaret was organized, efficient, tough, patient, and motivating. I felt she pushed my girls to do more than they thought they were able to do. She was also patient with them when they had trouble comprehending things. Both of their scores saw significant improvements after working with Harvard Tutors.

  • I cannot recommend Margaret and Harvard tutors enough! If you are looking for full-service college application and SAT prep, this is it. Margaret was extremely knowledgeable about the admissions process and what schools are truly looking for in an application, as well as how to excel at standardized testing. She helped me edit my essay and supplemental questions, perfect my resume, and most importantly helped me improve my SAT score by over 100 points. The practice questions and mock exams were extremely helpful, and the way she broke down the questions made everything so much easier for me. From test anxiety to algebra equations, she covered it and helped me master it.
