As a college professor myself, I know it was truly because of the superior tutoring Drew provided, combined with the work our daughter put into preparing for sessions, that she received four offers for full scholarships. Our daughter loved the technology and one-on-one Skype sessions were super convenient- plus Drew made them fun.

Ava is my third daughter.  As such, I have had many past experiences with tutoring companies.  I found Drew to be extremely knowledgable AND intuitive in evaluating Ava’s learning style and adapting his lesson plans accordingly.  I rarely recommend these types of services, but after such a positive experience,  I felt that a testimonial for Drew was definitely worth sharing with you.

After hiring 2 tutors that failed to adequately prepare my daughter for the lower level ISEE, Mitch and Drew at Satellite Prep successfully picked up the ball and got her there. She will be attending her first choice school this fall!

Without Ben’s assistance, driving my daughter’s ACT math score upward to a 34, I have no doubt that she would not have been considered for acceptance and scholarship for some of the programs where she applied.

Drew played a critical role in preparing my daughter for sitting the ACT. Her ultimate success in the test (and getting accepted into her university of choice) was in a large part due to his approach to coaching. From the first meeting, he established a strong rapport with her, understood how to motivate and engage her and provided encouragement and support throughout the process. 

-Susan Henshall, Parent

We won’t know how she did for a few weeks, but went in with a smile and she came out of the ACT so elated yesterday thanks to you! You not only helped her learn some of the facts she was missing, but you gave her strategies to avoid cratering when confronted by what she didn’t know.    For the first time in her life, she approached it as a game to show what she can do, instead of anxiety producing evidence she’s an idiot.  This is a new approach and skill set she can bring into the rest of her life as a student, and whenever filling in bubbles is called for.

Drew is an excellent tutor with a tremendous amount of patience and ability. His students have highly improved test scores.

Drew is highly professional, intelligent, and witty. I most appreciated his insightful appreciation of my son's needs, and his willingness to tailor his lessons to those needs

Drew is not a Ford but a Porche, and worth the ride!

-Joanne Guta, Parent

I highly recommend Drew for SAT and ACT test preparation. My son was strong in the reading/writing components of these exams, but weak in the quantitative portions. Drew did an excellent job of diagnosing the issue and developing a strategy that greatly improved my son's scores on the quantitative portions, as well as improvement in the reading/writing components. Drew cares greatly about the success of his students and works hard to help them understand how to be successful on these exams. I highly recommend his services.

Satellite Prep has an individualized approach that catered to my kid’s needs and schedule. This past fall, my daughter was juggling exam prep, a demanding course work and swim schedule, as well as high school applications. A former swimmer himself, Drew connected with my daughter right away. He was also very understanding when we had to move sessions around to accommodate swim meets. Drew is knowledgeable, understanding, and caring…and he helped my daughter get the results she wanted. She’s off to a great high school next year. Thank you Drew!

We were thrilled with the SSAT results Naomi was able to attain in such a short amount of time with Drew. We would definitely utilize the service again when needed.

Victoria has been recruited and committed to play volleyball in Rochester NY! Having her SAT score so high really helped because it allowed the coach to give her a large portion of her scholarship via academic in addition to her athletic scholarship. Just thought you would like to know about how the work you did with Victoria impacted her future!

We are so pleased with our daughters test prep led by Drew Valins of Satellite Test Prep.  Her SAT scores increased 150 points and ACT composite up 4 points.  For a child who felt she was not a good test taker, she accomplished her goals and gained confidence and success!          

— Mindy Taylor, Parent

The transition to middle school proved to be more challenging than expected for my son. Math became progressively harder to master as the concepts became more abstract and less rote. He became increasingly frustrated and unmotivated, slipping further and further behind. Barbara was able to use her incredible talents to unlock his hidden potential and provide clarity and relatable meaning in the subject matter. She has fully restored his confidence in problem solving and his love of learning. Thank you, Barbara, for being such a wonderful Math tutor. My only regret is that we did not find you sooner! 

-Marjorie, Parent, top NYC Prep School

Most NYC high school students have very busy lives and I really appreciated Drew's flexibility and understanding.
