Instructor Gutman was recommended to my son by a family who literally said his kids wouldn’t both be at a top college WITH scholarships if it hadn’t been for Gutman. I was sold and delighted he had time to take my son.

The experience has been as much as the family said and more. Gutman is a passionate and brilliant tutor who truly cares about his students too. He goes above and beyond preparing them mentally as well. Even suggesting what to do the night before the test- watch a good movie! and what to eat for breakfast on test day! His methods work and his students “knock it out of the park”. I recommended Gutman to another friend and her son also got a nearly perfect score. He gives a lot of homework but my son always felt it was worth it, and he got answers and explanations outside his tutoring hours. My daughter is a few years away from this but after working with Gutman I wouldn’t even consider hiring anyone else. Truly the best.

My son studied for his SATs with Instructor Gutman, and in a few months improved his score by over 200 points! It was a lot of work, but it was always very thoughtful and systematic, and we never felt like my son was receiving cookie cutter tutoring. It was always very targeted to what his needs were, and Gutman engaged him and held him accountable for the work. He also readily made himself available to me to provide feedback. We are so thrilled with our son's SAT score and the fact that he can now focus on life outside of the test. Highly recommend The Best Test Prep.

Lisa was fantastic to work with. Efficient, knowledgeable, and fast. She has a great ability to simplify and unify essays and resumes. We worked together to creativity put together a marketing profile for my son and her in depth knowledge about the admissions process and strategies was very helpful. I never would have been able to do it on my own. Thank you so much. One child down. 2 to go!

Considering the number of students, tutees and success stories you encounter---I'm neither surprised nor offended if you don't remember me. Regardless---I will never forget how much you helped me...with the GRE certainly...but more so in terms of believing in myself. Bottom line is...this doesn't happen without you. A zillion thanks again!

I was in your GRE prep course and fell just short of my reach score! Nevertheless, I was happy with the score I achieved and I wanted to say thank you for giving me the confidence I needed to succeed. I was accepted into Penn State's Graduate School and earned a Professional Master of Architecture degree. Thank you for helping me in my preparation to take the GRE.

My son was more motivated with Instructor Gutman. He actually said that ACT Prep is "kind of fun". I am so glad we found Instructor Gutman! I highly recommend The Best Test Prep and Instructor Gutman. Approaching his college graduation, my son not only gained knowledge from Instructor Gutman, he also developed executive functioning skills that contributes to his success today. It is worth it!

My son got a 1570 on his SAT with Instructor Gutman 🙂! My son really related to Gutman's systematic approach to learn relevant material and tackle the test. He was kept accountable and enjoyed ( if that is possible) the process and we are all very happy with the results. Thanks again!!
