You can imagine our excitement when our daughter received her scores yesterday morning! I know that she corresponded with you (which led to a discussion on the etymology of the word Boo-ya), but I wanted to write and let you know how grateful we are. You are indeed a magic sorcerer, and you literally help change lives. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I'm done with the GRE! 166 in verbal and 168 in math. My tutor (Ryan) was so helpful. He had great advice, worked with my individual learning style, and was very encouraging. PrepMatters is the best!
Hilary, Princeton, 2012
More than anything what I learned was a life skill: that the most important thing is confidence, and that you have to see it not as an ordeal or test but as a game to beat. Good stuff!

We cannot thank you enough for your support of our son through the application process. We also appreciate your positive attitude and encouragement. You let our son know you believed in him and his credentials for USC; this helped him to do his best. He simply did not get this same kind of encouragement from his private high school; it was essential to making this process manageable for him. It feels tremendous to have this over and for him to be admitted to his first choice.
We will continue to recommend you to our private school community. You are an exceptional resource for a family and student applying to college.

Hannah began working with Garrett for world history and it was such a successful experience that we continued with the ACT prep. He's not only a good teacher he is also a good human being. Little things, such as suggesting what beverage to bring to the exam, can make a huge difference to a student. In addition, he always followed up with Hannah after an exam. He genuinely cared what happened to her and also coordinated her study and exam schedule in the context of her other responsibilities.

My tutor is extremely informed and never fails to make an hour long tutoring session fun and interesting.
student, Whitman HS, 2012
Garrett Lowe was a breath of fresh air in the challenging process of college standardized testing. Unlike our other tutoring experiences, our son never complained, happily left to attend his appointments and arrived promptly. We were stunned, but thrilled that our son was finally stepping to the plate and taking responsibility. We weren't quite sure how Garrett managed this transformation, but we were very pleased with the results.
When we asked our son how he liked working with Garrett, Jack said, "Garrett is amazing...has the perfect personality to work with teenagers...always keeps me focused...and instills more confidence in me than any other coach/tutor." Jack significantly improved his ACT score and is now looking forward to his college search and we are too! Thanks Garrett and PrepMatters! You can be certain we will refer all our friends to you!

Rod Spies is one of the best tutors I have ever had. With Rod’s tutelage, I was able to achieve far better scores on the ACTs and SAT Subject Tests than I ever thought possible. In our weekly sessions, Rod showed me strategies that helped me to overcome small barriers that were preventing me from achieving test scores that reflect my academic potential. Rod also taught me methods of solving math problems, ideas to consider when examining science theories, and techniques to use when considering a grammatical problem or historical question when the answer seems elusive during a test. Rod always greeted me with a broad smile and always welcomed questions, either big or small. His cheerful disposition and sense of humor made our sessions more fun.
Rod was a spectacular tutor and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to achieve the most they can on the SATs or ACTs.
