Testimonials

“…I wanted to also let you know how I am seeing such a change in my son’s interest in the test, applying to colleges and his "attitude" in general about these - and he is influencing his friends :). I know that your tutoring sessions are a big part of this transformation, so thank you!!…I just wanted to be sure to share with you my (our) deep appreciation for helping to prepare him for the series of upcoming tests as well as let you know how your efforts, style, and approach have much farther reaching implications and outcomes beyond just getting good scores. You seem to have a way to really connect with these bright teenage boys …So many thanks to you, Anne, for both what you do and how you are accomplishing it! Parents like me are extremely grateful to the effective "coaches" in our children's lives. We can't do it alone!”

"Collegebound SB has been a wonderful resource for our family. My high school daughter works with an amazing tutor, who was carefully chosen to most effectively meet my daughter’s specific needs. Our tutor has become mentor, role model, teacher, life coach and friend. My daughter has made progress in many areas, thanks to the sensitivity of her tutor. Her level of confidence has risen, and she has volunteered that she has acquired academic skills that will support her in the future. Her tutor recognized subtle issues that, when addressed, have enhanced the entire learning experience. Personal service and genuine commitment to students and families has won our confidence and respect."

“Next week, our son, Zach, leaves to attend college at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Though a myriad of factors have lead to his acceptance there, we owe a huge amount of credit to…Collegebound Learning Services for helping him (and us) over the last three years in achieving this goal.From helping him hone his college essays to gathering and completing the applications to finding schools that fit Zach’s profile, Anne proved to be a godsend. Patrick, meanwhile, did an absolutely stellar job of coaching Zach to a solid score in the all-important SAT.

But more impressive than their commitment and professionalism was the sincere enthusiasm and joy each of them expressed for Zach’s successes. Throughout the entire process, the feeling was always that we were all in this together, that Zach’s success was as important to them as it was to us."

“Justin Stocks Smith is fantastic! He really knew how to “speak” to Karina to get through to her and gave her lots of pictures that helped her “get” stuff better. As I am sure you know, every student/person learns differently and his style was great for Karina…she didn’t feel intimidated or stupid for not knowing or understanding which allowed her to ask questions she might otherswise feel were “dumb” and using pictures and analogies was key in her improving. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I know you had to accommodate our schedule at last minute…it meant a lot!”
