She planned out practice tests and essays, created manageable and challenging goals, and worked with our daughter on interview techniques and applications. After working with Tess, our daughter has newfound confidence that we have seen carry into her classes and social interactions.

She edited my rough drafts overnight and always gave me valuable suggestions for the next draft. I would highly recommend Tess for people who do not feel confident in their writing abilities!”
MD Applicant -
“We absolutely loved working with Tess. Our ten-year-old was struggling while preparing for her first SSAT, and Tess made the process enjoyable and succesful. Tess gave our child personalized, clear and innovative methods to solve challenging problems. She ensured that our child felt supported, engaged and motivated to become a strong student. We highly recommend working with Tess.”
Parent of SSAT Student -
“Tess helped our son study for the ISEE. She offered so much more than just the practical study methods used by most ISEE tutors. Tess developed an impressively deep understanding of our son’s strengths and weaknesses as a test taker and a student. She taught our son life skills and managed to bring his scores up so dramatically that he ended up with a one-and-done test experience. Throughout the time our son worked with Tess, she increased our son’s self-esteem and gave him both the knowledge and belief in himself to do well on the ISEE—and it is not an exaggeration to say, also in life.”
Achieved official score goal on first attempt of the exam.
