Proven SAT/ACT Results Score Increases and College Admissions Success Stories

“When applying to extremely competitive colleges including the Ivy Leagues, I initially did not know how to write my essays and present myself in the best light. Chris helped me organize my thoughts and polish my essays so I could stand out through methods like dividing essays efficiently into categories. I ended up being selected to my top choice college! My family and I are extremely grateful to Chris for helping to make writing my college essays a lot more straightforward while also maintaining my individuality."

“Chris is a gem. He was highly recommended by a friend whose four boys had previously worked with him. My son was not only challenged by Chris to increase his math score but he actually, and most importantly, learned how to learn. He claims he gained more knowledge about math from Chris than any previous teacher. They also developed a mutual, respectful rapport. For these reasons alone, I feel the investment has paid for itself. Chris also worked with him on his college essays. He was able to help him structure his essays in a way that genuinely reflect his unique interests and opinions. I never once heard a complaint from my son. This is a testament to Chris’ ability to connect and convey the importance of hard work.”

“Chris has a way of presenting concepts in ways that work for whoever he’s speaking to. His ability to empathize with me and use that empathy to help me better understand complex test questions helped me achieve far more than I would have imagined. The way he explained permutation problems still benefits me today in my graduate work in Biology, and I’ll often think back to our test prep sessions when I encounter new and difficult problems. I owe a lot to Chris for my academic success!”

“Chris has a gift. He can really help your child through the entire college testing and application process. First, my son needed tutoring for the SAT, the SAT Subject Tests, and then the ACT. Chris’s expert instructions gave my son the knowledge and the confidence to perform well. Next, Chris helped my son with the college application process. There is so much to consider, not just the college essay. In the end, my son is so happy at UChicago.”

"I had am amazing experience with Chris. He was extremely patient and smart, but most of all a great guy. He held me accountable to doing consistent work, and created his own questions that pushed me to truly understand concepts. I'll put it this way: Chris doesn't hold your hand on the field, but rather serves as a world class coach from the sidelines to help you achieve your goals. I confirm that if you take advantage of Chris's resources and put in the work, you will find success on your test prep journey."

“I had an absolutely amazing experience working with Chris to prepare for the SAT and ACT. With his help, I was able to raise my ACT score 4 points, which was instrumental in my eventual acceptance to Claremont McKenna College. I went to Chris with a final score goal that I wanted, but he really challenged me to achieve a score that I thought was impossible at first, but ended up exceeding with his help. One of Chris’s main strengths is his ability to identify the areas that you need to work on and implementing a plan for every step along the test taking process. He has such a mastery of the tests that he knows exactly how to drill down into each section and create a custom plan with a unique timeline for each person’s specific needs. I can confidently say that Chris is the best counselor I have ever worked with. Chris is genuinely passionate about teaching and has such a powerful intellectual curiosity that it becomes infectious for his students. Do yourself and your son or daughter a favor and give Chris a call!”

“I have a STEM Ph.D. from Stanford, and have decades of experience as a teacher and tutor myself. My high school senior was at risk of having their Berkeley engineering offer rescinded for failing calculus in the spring semester and my help wasn’t going to be enough. Panicked, I contacted Chris, who responded quickly and readily agreed to tutor my senior even under such extreme circumstances. I sat in on the sessions and was constantly impressed by Chris’s command of the material, the degree to which he has organized his services, his endless positivity and can-do attitude, and his ability to understand a student’s needs in the moment and to adjust his teaching to compensate. I recommend Chris without hesitation. He is a truly exceptional teacher by any standard.” Your success on the SAT or ACT starts with truly understanding the material — not shortcuts or quick hacks. At Green Academics, you’ll get SAT tutoring and ACT tutoring that focuses on the real academic principles behind each section of the test. Whether it’s grammar, algebra, punctuation, or geometry, you’ll learn how each concept works, why it matters, and how to apply it confidently. Working with a private SAT mentor or private ACT tutor allows your sessions to be customized to your learning style. Each session is live, interactive, and built to keep you focused and improving. You’ll work through increasing levels of difficulty to build both understanding and test-day stamina.

“Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the help and support you’ve given me these last almost two years! You made the entire process of standardized testing and essay-writing far less stressful. And honestly you are what enabled me to have such a confident presentation of myself to Stanford.”

Isabella

Student

"Fantastic experience with both of our daughters. Chris is extremely knowledgeable with the whole application process. His test prep was outstanding, and his help with the essay process was invaluable. Worth every penny!"

Dad

"Chris worked with both of our kids, who couldn’t be more different from each other, and he managed to connect with each of them in his own way. He has an ability to motivate students so that they actually want to do their best, not just because they have to. Our kids really trusted him, and that made all the difference. The results were incredible—our oldest saw a significant jump in SAT scores, and our younger one ended up with a 36 on the ACT. But what really stood out to us was that Chris didn’t stop at test prep. He helped with essays and the whole college application process, which made everything so much less stressful for us as parents. I’ve already recommended Chris to several friends, and I’ll continue to do so. He really was a one-stop resource for everything college prep, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome."
