“My son is not easily pleased, but he enjoyed the Honors Test Prep course and found it extremely helpful.  He reports that Mr. Berk is personable, enjoyed good rapport with the students, and is an excellent instructor.  He notes that in addition to working problems the course involved extensive analysis of the students’ errors.  According to him, Mr. Berk makes sure you understand why you made an error so you won’t repeat it.”
Ed M., parent of a TJ student

"We are VERY happy with our son's scores.  Given the level of schools he is applying to these are fabulous.  Thank you SO MUCH for your help and support."
R.K., parent of Georgetown Day student

"Your program helped our son in several ways. Not only were the problem solving and practice test sessions effective but also, and equally important, the instructors' approach elevated his confidence level.  One big difference I noticed on the test day in June after completing the course was his positive attitude toward the actual test-taking.  Even though performing well on standardized tests had never concerned him before, he wanted to make certain that his SAT scores would be in line with the rest of his transcript. Your course helped him realize that he could do just that."
M. M., parent of TJ student

"Thank you for giving my son a relatively painless and effective preparation for the June 5 SAT's. Your approach and the small class size seems to be the right combination for these able students."
Ann K, parent of HB Woodlawn student

"I got a 1510 (780 math, 730 verbal), up from a 1380 (710 math, 670 verbal). Thank you for this thorough course, I am especially pleased about my verbal score."
TJ student

"Our son took the Math IIC in November and scores were posted on line this morning.  He scored an 800! (up 130 points since last May). WOW!!! We continue to be so impressed with our son and so thankful for having discovered HONORS TEST PREP!  It was obviously just the right thing for our son.  I think the other course (which shall remain nameless) spent way too much time talking down to the lowest common denominator.  Thank you so much for bringing out the best in our son."
Parent of DC-area prep school student

"Thanks for your sincere interest in your students!  Our son’s scores will definitely get him into the schools he’s considering.  Your course was VERY helpful."
Robert S., parent of Langley HS student

Kathy, parent of TJ student
