Ms. Puddister has been my son’s tutor since 2010. She is bright, patient, dedicated, and professional. She is always well-prepared when she comes, and always knows what my son needs. She is also very efficient, and well organized. She loves children, and gets along well with my son and looks forward to helping him. We are so lucky to have her as my son’s English tutor.

It’s been a pleasure working with you and Andy Kim. You guys have been excellent. I only have positive things to say. You have been so professional and courteous while Andy has been absolutely amazing. He is very professional, knowledgeable, patient and always accessible. He has done such a great job with my daughter. He has shown her different and better studying techniques but most importantly, he has established confidence in her that she can do anything as long as she works at it. I look forward to working with both of you again in the future. Andy was great and he deserves the acknowledgement. Thank you so much for recommending him; if he needs a reference for any parent, they are more than welcome to contact me as well.

We were assigned Andrew Carr to help prepare our son for the SAT test. He had taken the test two times previously and had scored ok, but not great. He only had one more opportunity to take it before his college applications were due. Andrew was wonderful. He met with our son five times for 1 1/2 hrs. each session. Most of the time he went over and really made sure our son had a clear understanding of what they had just covered. This morning we received the new test scores and they were up by 200 pts. We were thrilled!! I highly recommend Andrew and Boston Tutoring Services.

My son scored an overall 87 on the SSAT. He also took the HSPT and scored in the 98th percentile overall for that test. We thought Jim Vlachos was awesome, he made sure my son knew the layout of the test, what to focus on and what material he needed to work on during his own time. My son applied to Dexter and got in there but he will be going to Xaverian Brothers with a 4 year Academic Scholarship which is directly related to his test scores. I have 2 other boys and will definitely do the same route with them as well as the SSAT prep when that time comes. Thanks so much.

Scott Weaver did a wonderful job working with our daughter on the ISEE. He was unfailingly and infectiously positive, upbeat and energetic. Our daughter truly enjoyed her math sessions. Scott always came prepared with a lesson plan, bringing manipulatives such as Legos and various containers to help convey mathematical concepts. He also used creative activities which got our daughter up and moving; using her whole body to solve math problems. Scott balanced teaching math skills with test-taking strategies. I was impressed with Scott’s insightful advice on how to approach questions on the ISEE test and test traps to look out for. While working with Scott, our daughter went from a tentative math pupil to a confident and enthusiastic math kid. She has retained that confidence and strength throughout the school year and has had straight A’s in her school math class.

Our experience with Boston Tutoring Services was excellent. Our tutor was extremely knowledgeable with the ability to teach in a supportive way that gave our daughter the tools and the confidence to do well on the SSAT. The email communication was great and made the process easy and organized. We had a wonderful experience with Maureen. Thanks for everything!

We just wanted to let you know that our son took the ISEE test on November 17th. We have received his scores and were thrilled with his results. He scored in the 99% and had stanine scores of all 9′s (ranging from 1-9). Our son worked with Andrew Carr for 14 weeks and we are so very grateful for all of the effort and attention Andrew gave to our son. Andrew was a perfect match for our son. They connected well which made the studying easier and actually enjoyable. We could not have been more happy with Andrew and will miss seeing him! We will definitely recommend Boston Tutoring Services to our friends. Thank you so very much!

Boston Tutoring Services was exactly what we needed for our son. They connected us with a great tutor who was very effective and very easy to schedule around our busy lives. Most importantly, our son was very comfortable and happy with his tutor, Liz Stilwell. He is certain that his tutoring made a big difference in his ISEE test scores and recently remarked that the tutoring is still paying dividends for him in the classroom.

Ben Smith has been a welcome addition to my son’s education. In just three short months my son has gained a strong grasp of math concepts that were, at best, weakly understood. The one-on-one attention is specifically tailored to his needs and Ben takes the time to work in concert with his math teacher.

In working with Boston Tutoring Services I was impressed with the consistent and clear communication of the Managing Director, Alexandra Berube. She was very helpful in finding a creative solution to the unique scheduling challenges that our situation presented. There was marked improvement in test scores after only two sessions. Thanks for all your work helping kids and families – it makes a difference in the trajectory of opportunity for so many.
