“Alexis was instrumental in preparing my daughter for SAT, ACT exams. We re-engaged Alexis a second time to analyze results and seek additional improvement for top flight colleges, and we were also successful in achieving this result. My daughter is now performing well in a pre-pharma track at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.”
“Alexis was an excellent SSAT and ISEE coach for my son. He narrowed on my son’s needs and exercised great diligence in his approach.”
Nathalie Wallace (Cambridge, MA)
“We have hired Alexis on multiple occasions this year with excellent results! He worked with our 13 year old daughter who needed help with focus and organizing homework. Our son is in his junior year of high school and the SAT prep work that Alexis did with him was fantastic. We plan to have him work with Ben for round 2 of SATs and his college essay. I can’t say enough positive things about Alexis and his team – if you have kids in need of a great coach, he’s your guy!”
Sheira M. (Needham, MA)
“Alex tutored three of my children in preparation for the ISEE, SAT and the GRE exams. Each child had different needs and issues preparing for exams. Alex tailored his approach with accuracy and insight, working effectively with each child to ensure an excellent result.”
Tom U. (Wellesley, MA)
“We hired Alexis to tutor our daughter for the SAT’s and ACT’s. After his first meeting with her he suggested that we focus all of our tutoring on the ACT’s since he felt she had a better chance of doing well on that test. He was very flexible with his schedule, and gave her valuable practice tests and homework to do in between meetings. She took the ACT’s once and scored much higher than expected for a student with her G.P.A. What a relief! Now our daughter can look at more challenging schools because of her scores! Alexis was a very good value, since he spent much less time than we expected teaching her to do well on her test.”
Elizabeth & Tim S. (Wayland, MA)
“Alexis helped our son take charge of the college search, application, and decision process. This was a tremendous help to our whole family during the difficult college prep time. It significantly reduced our household stress over college. He guided our son in an organized and results oriented manner. Our son is now enrolled at a good college which he is excited to attend.
We received more from Alexis than just the “college coaching”. I strongly believe he helped change our son into a more self-motivated individual. It seems like he really grew up while under Alexis’ tutelage.
Lastly, our son loved working with Alexis and they got along great together. He thinks everyone should use Alexis.”
Dave D. (Wayland, MA)
“Alexis is a talented, caring and inspiring college advisor/coach, who engages from day 1 and follows through with remarkable flexibility and competence. We are very happy we chose him to help us!”
Kamen V. (Weston, MA)
“Considering that our daughter had never even seen the SSAT format and given the short time frame, I think she did remarkably well. Thank you for your help and for your encouragement.”
Clare K. (Sudbury, MA)
“Your coaching with our child was absolutely critical to his completing the year. You have the perfect temperament and tone for dealing with a 17 year old, disinterested teen. Thanks for all your help, patience and positive reinforcement.”
Jim L. (Weston, MA)
“We decided to apply for independent schools very late. My kids had no previous preparation for the SSAT. We took a pilot test and the results were dismal. We had 4 weeks to cram. We hired Prepped & Polished. In that time we took 2 tests and lots of tutoring. The SSAT results improved dramatically and allowed them to get acceptance in top schools. Our son got into all 6 schools he applied to. Our daughter got into Nobles, Milton, Rivers and Concord, and is wait listed at BB&N. We are still in a state of disbelief! Needless to say the kids are besides themselves and we have to manage our son’s ego right now. Thank so much for your help! They could not have done it without you!”
