• Thank you so much for all your guidance and support throughout my college application process. From the moment I started working with you freshman year, you made me feel more prepared and conficent about my college search. No matter what stage I was at in my high school career, I always felt confident that I was being guided to do everything I needed to get into my dream school. You helped me find that dream school -- Duke! -- and stand out from the crowd by showcasing my passion for science. You and everyone at Score At The Top made college apps a much less stressful experience. Thank you so much for being there to help me at every step along the way and to celebrate my successes with as much enthusiasm as I did! I am so thrilled to be going to Duke this fall, and I know my success would not have been possible without your guidance. Thank you so much for everything!

• I just want to drop a note for Barry. He has been a tremendous help to Sweta on her college applications. No matter when we call him, including evenings, late at night, or weekends, he has been responsive and extremely helpful in guiding Sweta's application essays. On many occasions he has reviewed material on the very same day (within hours!) and provided Sweta his superb feedback. We are also impressed by his skill in understanding the complex subject matters she writes about as well as suggesting necessary changes.

• I have been wanting to write you for some time now to let you know about the tests Allison took that you tutored her on in AP Calculus, but end of the year events have kept us crazy. The tutoring was for 2 particular tests and Allison made an 85 and a 100. Basically no one makes 100 on a test in her AP class and even her 85 was much higher than the biggest majority of the students who took the test. I believe she told you how very hard her AP Calc class is at Pine Crest (which is a very high academic school) so she was jumping for joy when she received these two grades. I believe she is finishing out the class with a B of 85 (thanks to your final grades) but she is very happy about that. Now off to Georgetown to try out their calculus class. Thanks again for all of your help.

• Thought I would send an "end of the year" update. Jack ended up not applying to any boarding schools as we all decided we wanted him for these last 2 high school years. He got into two top private schools in the county, and tomorrow I plan to send in the check and register him for 3 APs, 2 honors classes, and Chinese. We really appreciate all you and Score at the Top have done. We appreciate the quality of your tutors; Jack has been taking tutoring sessions in chemistry and math which we believe is going to help him get 6 "A"s and 1 B this semester. I can't believe I have resisted tutoring for so long, Jack loves it and it really helps. The tutors are better than these two particular teachers and his math tutor even found several errors on a test practice that she gave to the entire class. Jack pointed it out and his teacher sent a retraction to all her students.

• I wanted to let you know how pleased we are with Tracey's tutor! Tracey arrived for tutoring very frustrated, feeling like she did not understand the material being taught in school. She is a visual learner and gets lost in class lectures. She met her tutor for the first time and they bonded immediately. After a 5-minute introduction they jumped into math for the first hour and science for the second hour. The tutor used props to help her understand the concepts. When I picked her up, her tutor was so encouraging when told me "Tracey can do it; she is smart and has the desire to learn!" What a relief! Tracey came out and announced, "I have learned more in two hours at Score At The Top than I have learned all year at school." We have already referred two other students to you and we will continue to make referrals. See you next week!!
