Reviews

Expert SAT tutor

After being tutored by Meeraj, my daughter’s SAT score improved 230 points. In addition to his excellent tutoring, he assigned her homework each week specifically tailored to the areas where she needed improvement. He also recommended an SAT watch that helped her with time management. What I think makes Meeraj unique is that he is a specialist in SAT preparation and he knows the test inside and out. He is equally competent tutoring students in the math and reading/writing sections. We are very happy we chose him as our daughter’s tutor.

Strongly Recommended!

My son is a high achieving student, and we wanted to make sure his SAT score reflected his potential to colleges. He took 5 lessons with Meeraj - 2 Grammar, 2 Reading, and 1 Math - and scored a 1560 out of 1600 on his SAT. I am very pleased with the result, and I strongly recommend using Meeraj’s support and guidance to help your child reach their potential!

Impressive SAT tutor

I chose Meeraj to be my son’s SAT tutor based largely on reviews. And I must say he more than met my expectations. After tutoring for 8 1 hour sessions, 1 hour a week with assigned homework/ practice tests, my son scored over 1500 on his December SATs ( which is over 99th percentile) on his first try. The practice was focused on reading and grammar which were my son’s weaker areas. Even after their first hour together, my son said he already learned some new reading strategies that could have helped him on his PSAT had we started a couple of weeks ago. I was impressed as my son tends to be a bit skeptical. I also felt that my son started being more serious about the upcoming SATS after spending time with Meeraj. I recommend Meeraj very highly. Best money I ever spent on my child’s education.
