We have 4 children ages 18,17,14 and 13. All 4 have used the tutoring services with various tutors whether it be test prep, essay writing or for assistance with homework and we have been pleased with every aspect. The tutors are exceptional. They relate well with my children and are extremely knowledgeable. My kids enjoy meeting with their tutors and look forward to their time with them. They have been an invaluable resource to our family and we are so grateful for advantage testing and their service. Our tutors are or have been Jarrod Ford, Yan Digilov, Gregor Brodsky and Jennifer Herbst. Love them all! We have had great results and I highly recommend their services.

We have been tutoring our two sons, now 8 and 6, at Advantage for several years, first with Sandy Reckles and for the past year and a half with Jay Resh as well. I cannot even express what a life changing experience we have had with both of them. Sandy has been transformational for our kids. She is the sole reason why our kids are top readers and writers in their class. However, most importantly she has inspired an incredible love of learning and literacy in them. They both read non-stop and our older son started to write books last year as well. Sandy’s teaching enabled them to read ahead of their grade and therefore their learning has been exponential in every other aspect - science, history, biology, space, art, etc. They adore learning and Sandy’s lessons are the highlight of their week! They are always excited when they wake up on the lesson days and have a huge smile on their faces after the lesson. During the pandemic, Sandy was working with us remotely, she was hands down the best online instructor. My boys did not miss a beat, I don’t know how she did it, but they were so excited to learn even with Sandy being just ‘online’. She is a life saver, she is an exceptional educator, she is absolutely irreplaceable, Sandy truly is part of our learning life for years so far and we hope many more years to come! Jay has been an epic turning point for our older son. While Jay generally tutors older kids, he has been an incredible influence on our 8 year old son. Our son always asks when he will have Jay’s lesson and looks forward to it all week! He always reports back after his class on what interesting experiment they did or what math ‘trick’ he learnt! Jay is able to explain incredibly complex topics in an understandable manner and in a way where my son continues his curiosity beyond the lesson and seeks to learn more and dig deeper. I do not know how he can make a 7-year old kid so excited about science so that he starts reading Stephen and Lucy Hawking books, but he did it! Jay is an incredibly influential and irreplaceable person in our son’s life and we are just ‘wowed’ by his work and inspiration! Education is of the utmost importance to our family and Advantage has been an irreplaceable part of our children’s journey! We look forward to many more years ahead with Sandy and Jay!

Kelly Schwarz with Advantage Testing has been amazing. She is a wonderful communicator & quickly makes herself available with both our son and for us, as parents. We genuinely appreciate her approach to the process and ultimately the results.

My tutor was amazing.

I have worked with a few tutors at Advantage Testing. All have been incredibly helpful in my learning endeavors. Jay Resh is caring and probably the smartest man I ever met in my life. I aced the ACT due to his excellent work with me. Jay and Dejan helped me excel in my college engineering courses. They break down problems and learning objectives extremely well. Jay also helped me score in the 99th percentile for the LSAT. If you listen and actively engage in the sessions offered by the geniuses at Advantage Testing and you put in the work, you will be tremendously successful in your academic efforts. Further, they teach you how to think critically outside of the scope of academia. If you want your kid to get the best help available, Advantage Testing is the place to go.

My son has been tutored by Barbara Farley for 6 years (since 4th grade). I am not sure there are words to describe the positive impact that Barbara has had on my son’s academic success. We initially hired Barbara to assist with my son’s reading skills but have continued used to use her for standardized testing and ongoing tutoring with math. He is now a 9th grade student at a highly competitive high school and is an A student. More importantly is confident and engaged. Barbara is not only a tutoring but an incredible mentor . He looks forward to his tutoring sessions every single time.

Julia helps my daughter with both math and science. My daughter enjoys learning with her. Julia is very knowledgeable and patient. Thank you Advantage Testing.

When I began the process of looking for an ACT/SAT tutor for my oldest child I was immediately referred to Kelly McDowell at Advantage Testing. I was looking for a tutor that put the responsibility of testing success into my kids hands and held them accountable during this process. Kelly was the perfect fit for my son. I was so impressed with how he was able to organize, motivate and work with my oldest during the tutoring process that I went back to him for my other two children years later. Kelly works directly with your child for tutoring, planning, scheduling and practice tests. There are no arguments between the parent and student which is such a bonus. He also makes sure they understood what they need to do to be successful during the tutoring time and on testing day. I was so comfortable that Kelly had a handle on my kids and that he was keeping them on task that I was able to back off during the whole process. All three of my children had multiple choices when it came to college decisions. I highly highly recommend Kelly McDowell.
