Chad was a down-to-earth, encouraging, and brilliant SAT tutor. His uplifting vibe made me look forward to every meeting, and I felt like he had my back at every step as I improved my score 100 points higher than my original goal.

I needed to get as close to a perfect score as possible for the schools I was targeting, and Chad designed a rigorous advanced curriculum that led me to ace my ACT.

Totally lovely and genuine person who takes the care to understand you as a complete human learner, not just another random high school student.

Why can’t all my teachers be like Chad??? I was struggling hard in my Algebra II honors course, but Chad really took the time to understand the ways my mind worked (and didn’t work) and made every topic click. I went from a B- average to an A- average in one semester.

GAME CHANGER. My son delayed writing his college application essays until a month before they were due. Chad helped him get organized, instilled the courage and confidence he needed, and offered superb expertise. He was very generous with his time.

I worked with Chad on my common app personal statement and all of my supplemental essays. I loved his whole system for tackling such a mountain of prompts—the sessions were organized, economical with time, and always encouraging and inspiring! Plus, I could tell that my overall writing capacity improved over the three months of our sessions. Even my teachers in school were commenting on the change! I was thrilled to be accepted to Swarthmore, my Early Decision School.

I had gone through two other ACT tutors by the time I found Chad. My score wasn’t improving, but these new tutoring sessions focused on so many other dimensions of test prep besides the content. I learned a whole new “test mentality” which is what I strongly believe gave me the major boost.

Accepted to Princeton University
I was the kind of student who had no desire to prepare for the SAT and was just avoidant of the task. When I think back, I can see now that Chad was so patient with me and did everything in his power to help me see the importance of preparing for the test. I really did eventually take him for his word and found good reasons to invest my time and energy into it, and the work paid off. My scores showed colleges that I was more capable than what my GPA suggested.

Accepted to University of Michigan
I had been working on my GRE prep independently. While I was improving, I wasn't able to push my score to the level required for top MBA programs. Chad worked with me on identifying the roadblocks and fine-tuning my testing process. We anatomized the test in such personal, step-by-step, and psychological terms. Chad was both so generous in understanding the quirks of my mentality and so scientific in his detailed breakdown of the GRE experience. I reached my goal, but I also came away with a stronger perspective on how to tackle major tests in general.

Accepted to Harvard University
My daughter was struggling to meet the rigorous standards of her humanities courses at a competitive private school in Manhattan during her sophomore year. We sought Brooklyn Academics for outside assistance in reading and writing skills. In the first year, her performance in English and History courses improved. By junior and senior year, she was able to earn straight As in subjects that previously caused major headaches. Chad was a fantastic communicator and point-person. He was always available to chat, kept us updated, and acted as an invaluable resource.

We could not have been more pleased with the ISEE tutoring service. Chad educated us about the intricacies of the testing process, and Colin saw his score gradually improve over a few months of work with Chad. He looked forward to every session. I was thrilled to see the amount of dedication and heart that Chad brought out in my son.

Terrific experience overall. Working with Chad was a breeze and we felt completely comfortable with his expertise. Ana earned a strong score on the SHSAT that ended up giving her multiple acceptances and a variety of options for her high school.
