“We are forever grateful for Cambridge Coaching! Casey was the brightest spot of our son's chemistry course. She completely shifted our son's confidence and helped him believe in himself and his abilities in chemistry. He received a superb final grade and an excellent SAT Subject Test score. Most importantly, Casey helped our son develop a love of chemistry. We could not have asked for more. ”

ParentHigh School Chemistry

“Thanks to Cambridge Coaching's support, I received 5's on my AP Tests (Physics Mechanics, Physics E&M, Calculus BC, Computer Science A), and earned A's in both physics and calculus, finishing off my transcript with a 4.00 GPA. Apart from the scores, I've walked away from this year with an incredible amount of understanding of the material I learned, and have already begun to use my knowledge in my summer program. Thank you very very much for all your help and support! ”
