Man! I can't tell you how great I feel right now. I was completely blown away when I saw the number 780 next to the word "Writing" on my computer screen, and I immediately exclaimed thank you. This was partially a thank you to God, but also a thank you to you, because I know I could never have done it without your help. From my previous score of 600, you can only imagine the disbelief I still am going through. I am so glad we spent so much time focusing on essays. You taught me what I needed to know about formulating my ideas, and then what I needed to create a clear, powerful, and concise essay. I have to say that we made the most of our 5 sessions, and I don't think they could have been better considering my score. Thanks again John! P.S. I am quite pleased with my new scores in Critical Reading (700) and Math (750) as well, for another 170-point increase and a total SAT score increase of 350 points!

My two sons Chris and Kevin had SAT scores that just weren't in the ranges that they needed to get admitted to their colleges of choice. We tried everything to bring their scores up - other courses, self study, Mom nagging - all to no avail. They agreed to take Raise Your Score's SAT course over the summer, and at the end of their courses, Kevin raised his Math & Critical Reading scores 100 points and his brother raised his 140 points. We can now afford to send Kevin to his dream school because he was awarded a $15,000-a-year merit scholarship based on his higher SAT scores - his private college of choice now costs the same as attending a public school, and he wouldn't have gotten the scholarship without the help he got from John and the team at Raise Your Score.

Raise Your Score exceeded my expectations in organization, accurate diagnostics, individualized instruction and scheduling, buy in and commitment from my students, and the absolute relief that I as a parent felt that this part of the road to college was being navigated by a professional, and in better hands than my own.

My boys also agreed that it "didn't suck or ruin their summer" and their highest recommendation is that they instructed me to "not bother with any other test prep" for their younger brother, a sophomore, "just go straight to John at Raise Your Score." High praise from 17 year old boys!

I raised my SAT score 340 points from my first diagnostic test. All three of my scores started out in the mid-500s, and now they're all in the mid-high 600s, and my essay score went from a 6 out of 12 to a 9 out of 12. Raise Your Score made it possible for me to achieve this significant score increase while I was going to water polo practice five days a week, taking a full course load, and playing in tournaments on the weekends. Now, entering my junior year, I have SAT scores I'm very happy with, thanks to Raise Your Score.

I was very comfortable with my tutors and felt that they communicated with me in a way that was clear and easy to understand. I could tell that they cared about me and wanted me to do well. My mom has given your name, email, phone and website to three of her friends, and I have recommended Raise Your Score to friends and their parents. I tell them that it really helped me, it works.

John Winters at Raise Your Score is the only tutor I've worked with who actually loves what he does ... he loves to teach, and he tends to have a certain connection with his students that other teachers just don't have. With John's guidance, I went from hating school to loving learning, and I went from failing my classes to passing them and being on track to graduate from high school. I believe that John was put on this earth to teach. It is his passion and his joy, and nothing gives him greater pleasure than to see his students succeed. He has made an extremely strong impact on my life.
