"I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah Puette and The Scholar Group. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed working with Deborah, who truly cared about her success. Deborah's level of professionalism, commitment and compassion was amazing. And yes, my daughter achieved her SAT goal. The experience we went through couldn't have been improved upon!"

“Kevin was instrumental in coaxing my experiences and passions first into words, and then into coherent and artful essays. I had the security of working with someone who was talented in the field of writing, and who also had a genuine respect for my emotions and life experiences. Kevin was an integral part of getting me into the schools I reached. I cannot thank him enough for the effort he put into molding me into the motivated and very happy college student I am today.”

"I've been working with Emily for over a year now, and I've not only improved my test scores, but I feel that she has taught me how to think more creatively on my approach to the subject."

"Drew Brody is truly the answer to receiving top notch SAT tutoring. He was able to hone in on specific areas that my son needed assistance on rather than spending unnecessary time on his stronger areas. My son learned test-taking strategies and above all Drew provided an interesting and fun environment in which to learn. Mitchell's scores increased. I would recommend Drew's personalized attention over any Kaplan type course. It was money well spent."
- Stacey Hashimoto, South High School Parent
"I ended up getting a 280 point increase which I'm really happy about. Thanks for everything. It certainly paid off!"

"Your process was a huge motivator and confidence builder. You laid out time schedules that were reasonable and set boundaries Garrett understood and could follow. You also zoned in on his problem areas and were able to adjust your program to fit his needs perfectly. Garrett now takes responsibility for his testing. He studies on his own, knowing his grades are "his grades", not the tutor's, or Mom's, or Dad's. He actually heads out early Saturday mornings knowing he is prepared and will do his best. What more could we ask for?
We have no doubt if we had a dozen kids you could handle each in their own individual way. Thank you for being so flexible and squeezing us in when we panicked over deadlines. Thank you for keeping Garrett calm and confident, on a time line, and most of all doing it all himself. Thank you for always following up after testing, caring about his performance, and talking to him about his feelings of how he did. Last but not least, thank you for keeping all of us grounded and in perspective."
- Paget Chang, Brentwood Parent
"Thank you Drew and Deborah for all your help with both Danny and Lauren! Danny felt much more confident taking the SAT's after your help, and his scores went up in both Math and English!!! Lauren continues to do extremely well, and her comprehension in English and Writing skills is great! She, too, is much more confident in herself and her work! Thank you for everything!!!"

"Our daughter's scores improved by over 300 points to a total of 2330…I heartily recommend this organization and its tutors."

"Drew Brody is an outstanding math tutor. We had tried three Trig/Pre-Calculus tutors before calling Drew. What a difference! Our 11th grade daughter actually got an "A" on her mid-term. Drew is conscientious and dedicated to helping his students understand the material. We are very grateful to Drew."

"Thank you, Deborah. I couldn't be happier with my score!"

"Drew's tutoring methods really helped Sean build his test-taking confidence. In addition, Drew was always readily available and willing to give Sean as much help and personal attention as he needed."
- Linda O'Brien, Brentwood Parent
"Marushka's grasp of math principles and overall test-taking abilities went to a new level as soon as she began tutoring with Drew. Drew cuts through the clutter and speaks a language that Marushka immediately resonated with. Drew's style of meeting a student where they are academically, then guiding them through challenges and hurdles in a way that's supportive, creative and intuitive, was a perfect fit for Marushka. I wish Marushka had met Drew much earlier--he found a way to make math fun even during the incredible stress of SAT prep. Plus, Drew takes genuine personal interest in his students' overall progress and well-being. He gets what it means to be an artist struggling to excel in areas like math. Most tutors don't understand how important it is to meet a student where they are, not where the tutor thinks they should be."
