• "Before starting MightyPrep, I struggled to connect the math I knew from school to SAT math. Pat's use of drawings and in-depth explanations helped me visualize the abstract concepts and grasp the SAT's approach. Later, it almost felt as if I knew what the College Board wanted me to answer. I could anticipate question types and adjust my pace. My score increased hundreds of points."

    — Aidan, UCLA

  • "Doing whole tests, instead of isolated sections, allowed me to see the big picture -- while the one-on-one instruction gave me insight into every tiny mistake. By the time I took my final ACT, I was so much more confident in the material, and it showed in my score."

    — Matéa, Cornell University

  • "The first time I took a practice Math ACT I thought, 'This is the hardest thing.' I spent two hours just trying to answer every question. Little did I know that, after working with Pat at MightyPrep, it would be my best section!"

    — Carly, University of Michigan

  • “The repeated practice of taking the test, along with one-on-one feedback and personalized tips and test-taking strategies, helped build up my son’s confidence. Ultimately, Nathan got an SAT score that exceeded our expectations (including a perfect score on the math portion), which helped him get into his first-choice school.”

    — Jennifer, MightyPrep Parent

  • "I was very nervous going into the test, but right away Pat zeroed in on my needs and tailored the entire approach to what I needed to work on most. Math has never been my favorite subject, but, by the end, I could tackle the whole section. I finished with a much better grasp of math than I had before."

    — Lydia, Northwestern University

  • “One skill that I have kept and used since my time at MightyPrep is the proper usage of grammar. I have used different grammar and writing techniques that I learned at MightyPrep in my English and history essays at my high school, which has made my writing much more sophisticated.”

    — Kevin, Washington University St. Louis

  • “MightyPrep really emphasizes the importance of focus. Being able to truly focus for over 3 hours during the SAT is one of the biggest obstacles to getting a high score. By taking a practice test every week, I was able to hone this skill.”

    Gillian, Williams College

  • “My son benefitted from the structure of weekly meetings and clear expectations about taking a practice test each week. Tutor Pat not only provided explanations to questions that my son got wrong but more importantly was able to coach on the speed and strategy of taking each section.”

    — Cindy, MightyPrep parent

  • "Working with Tutor Pat allowed my daughter to approach the material calmly and know that there was a plan to raise her score. The patience and humor evident in the Mighty Method made the experience much less stressful for my daughter. I knew the prep was working when she was looking forward to spending time with her tutor!”

    — Claudia, MightyPrep parent

  • "Patrick’s meticulous statistical analysis of each test allows him to drill down on what your child most needs to work on - as well as charts their progress and probable outcomes for the actual test. Seeing my daughter feel more confident about taking the test and mastering the material, as well as seeing her practice test scores tick up throughout the process, assured me that MightyPrep and Patrick’s methods were working.”

    Elizabeth, MightyPrep parent

  • "Starting tutoring, my biggest concerns were timing and learning how to pace myself throughout the exam. But the Mighty Method helped me organize my thoughts so that question patterns became more evident and so easier to answer."

    — Tara, Cornell University

  • "I knew the tutoring was working when I could take the specific skills I had worked on during sessions with Bruce and apply them to real test questions. MightyPrep improved my focus, my pacing, and my ability to view questions in critical ways."

    — CeCe, William & Mary

  • "Before starting Mighty Prep, Emma did not feel like she was an exceptional test-taker. Through working with Bruce, she found that confidence. Bruce creates a relationship first, and in building that relationship, inspired Emma to work for and with him."

    — Susan, MightyPrep parent

  • Before working with Tutor Pat at MightyPrep, I was struggling a lot with my grammar and reading comprehension. The CLÜ-DÜ method offered a simple, easy-to-remember way to unlock those sections' patterns and unwritten rules. Throughout, Pat framed the material in ways that related directly to my own interests. He taught me concepts on a personal level. MightyPrep's test-a-week approach and special materials (watch, timing guide, pacing seminar) improved my speed and accuracy. And the resulting improvement was not limited to the SAT: I started applying the techniques I learned in our sessions to my regular schoolwork as well.

    — Matthew, MightyPrep Student

  • We have twin boys, and neither are good test takers. I really liked Patrick’s time management approach, his flexibility, and the repeated test taking: Most tutors didn’t encourage taking a real test each week. This way the boys were used to time management by the time they actually took the test. While one twin’s scores never really went up too much in Math (that isn’t his thing), the other sections really soared. Investing a big chunk of time taking the tests weekly is the only way to get better. It’s also an approach they can use when it’s time to take more standardized tests for post-graduate work.

    Kathryn, MightyPrep parent

  • After receiving his PSAT results, my son wanted to raise his scores to a competitive level. From the start, we were pleased with MightyPrep's approach. Taking weekly tests was helpful, but the one-on-one sessions made the difference, especially going over the material to really look at the problem areas. After several practice tests, we noticed that our son's EBRW and Math scores had improved considerably. In the end, our son's SAT score rose 200 points.

    — Carlo, MightyPrep Parent

  • Before starting with MightyPrep, I was struggling to manage my time and apply my knowledge on the test. MightyPrep’s CLÜ-DÜ approach clearly laid out all possible SAT problems and how I could approach each one effectively. It left no room for confusion. Even better, TutorPat was low stress and fun throughout prep. I never felt judged and never once dreaded going to a session. In fact, after the first two or three practice tests, I started feeling more and more confident about the SAT.

    — Samantha, Rice University

  • My son was challenged with writing,reading and reading comprehension. He loathed reading -it did not come naturally to him and due to the way it was taught,tested and measured in his school, he did not posses an appreciation or curiosity for it. Enter Bruce. Bruce had an incredible approach with my son. He immediately assessed his ability and interest and got him to engage in writing creative stories and reading aloud. These were rather significant strides for our son. Bruce is so personable and his passion for learning and teaching is evident. His professionalism and communication are outstanding.
