Testimonials


"I will never fear a standardized test again." - Lily Nathan, Georgetown '08

"The SATs were definitely not a given for me. I knew I could do it - I just had no idea how. My tutors from Veritas showed me how, and gave me the skills and confidence to achieve my goals outside of the SAT as well" - Samantha Wilson, Yale '07

My tutor gave me a method that made the test much less intimidating. I learned to think more clearly and gained a lot of confidence. - Alexander Jacobs, Dalton ‘05

Learning how to take the SAT helped me perform up to my ability in everything else too. For me, test prep changed my academic life! - Henry Prince, Colgate ‘07

Every time my confidence wavered, my tutor calmly reassured me and kept me focused. The methods I learned really worked. - Jenny Hartman, Vassar ‘08

"I hated standardized tests, but my tutor gave me clear strategies and kept challenging me. My anxieties shrank and my score took off." - Rafael Hines, Harvard '08

I succeeded on the test because of what I learned in the Veritas class. The short cuts and vocabulary helped a lot, but what made the biggest difference was the way my teacher taught all of us to get comfortable with ourselves and how we think — to trust ourselves and work hard. I would have to say that class made me smarter, and not just on the ACT

My skype tutoring with Veritas raised my score by 460 points. No way I would have gotten into my top choice school without it. What I learned, though, I will take with me through college and through life.

yes

My teachers were fantastic. I was incredibly prepared both in terms of the material I learned and the method to keep me concentrating through the whole test. Also, I hate to admit this, but… my SAT class was actually fun.

Yuliya, Lawrenceville ’09, Stanford ‘13

yes

When first investigating test prep options for our daughter, we followed the lead of other class members in choosing a highly regarded, uptown firm. Indeed, a tutor with an impressive resume was provided, but the biweekly tutoring sessions were quite rote (often dreaded) and their impact on practice test scores undramatic. We heard about Veritas and made a switch — what a difference! Suddenly, our daughter had a real coach. Once-a-week sessions were dynamic and directed. Her approach to the test was transformed, and her scores and confidence in test success took off. The end result was a 530 point improvement. We thank Veritas for their unmistakable role in her success.

My fantastic tutor gave me the confidence I needed to ace the GRE. I met twice a week, and she customized the material so I learned everything I possibly could, along with mastering techniques I'd already known. I always felt like I mattered to her, and that's a big thing when you're being tutored. It's important to feel like your tutor wants to watch you succeed just as much as, if not more than, you do... I need the benefit of one-on-one learning to reap the rewards of test preparation. And believe me, I reaped the rewards all right. My math score rose at least 300 points.
