You Reap What You Sow

Our programs have been designed to maximize the potential of students.

There is a strong correlation between score improvement and meaningful study hours. Our students typically put in at least 20 hours of study time. First, we equip the students with the tools and knowledge to be successful. Students then practice to harness the benefits of what they have learned.

My son said that the techniques that Kimani taught him for the SAT were so helpful that he felt like he was cheating. He took the SAT one time and scored well enough to get into Yale. Kimani has worked with all of my other kids and I have referred him to many friends, and he has exceeded everyone’s expectations. What makes Kimani unique is that he makes SAT tutoring fun because he has such a funny, engaging personality. Students spend more time studying and look forward to working with him and get better results.

I am so grateful that I took Kimani’s class. His way of teaching and positive attitude makes learning how to take the SAT much more exciting and I truly believe it is the reason for the success of his students. The tools I learned in my SAT prep class not only helped me for the exam but are continuing to be useful for my AP tests and just school in general.

When I took my first ACT practice test and scored a 26, I honestly did not think I would be admitted to any college, let alone have my pick among several Ivy League Schools or be a National Merit Finalist. When I started meeting with Kimani, he presented the material in a way that made me actually want to do my work and kept me laughing the entire time. I am certain that without Kimani’s help, I would not have increased my ACT 9 points to a 35 in a matter of months. As a testament to how enjoyable the experience was, when I received my ACT score - as excited as I was - a large part of me was sad as I knew that it meant I would no longer need to meet with Kimani.

When I first heard I should take an SAT prep course to better my score, I was expecting long, grueling hours of pure boredom. Luckily, that was never the case with Kimani. If you want to increase your test score substantially whilst being around one of the funniest and most easy-going people on the planet, Kimani is the man for the job. Whatever your goal may be and whatever challenges you may be having, Kimani will help you achieve your goals and master even the hardest and most confusing reading passages and math problems. He is encouraging and positive 100% of the time, making SAT prep truly an enjoyable time. I scored higher than I was aiming for thanks to Kimani. There truly is nobody better than Kimani.
