"Excellent SAT teacher"

I reached out to Tova Krakauer Coaching because the personal recommendations from people I knew who had used this test prep center were absolutely excellent. I was a tiny bit skeptical because we’d already tried quite a few tutors, and they all seemed to get subpar results. But I knew after my daughter’s first lesson with her that this SAT teacher was different. After every lesson with her, my daughter seemed happy and satisfied with how the lesson went. She also had a high level of trust and emotional attachment to Tova, which is the first time I’ve seen that with one of her tutors. The lessons seemed to be working because Jenny’s scores kept increasing on the SAT simulations, and she also got better at time management, managing more often to finish entire sections before time was up. Since in the beginning she was only finishing about half of the math section in the time given, this was great and very encouraging. Her time management on the reading comprehension and writing section also improved noticeably. Tova was very professional in all her interactions with me, as well as with Jenny. I’ve been in the room discreetly when she was Zoom teaching, and I was pleasantly surprised by her level of commitment and dedication: she’s fully present during lessons, which I think is extremely important in an SAT teacher. All in all my daughter worked with Tova Krakauer Coaching for about thirteen months. Her final score was a 1530, which was a huge improvement on her original score. She was over the moon when she got her results. I highly recommend this company. If you stick with it and are consistent in the lessons, I think Tova can help you. She’s an extraordinarily gifted and capable teacher, and she really cares.

"Tova is very knowledgable"

Tova is very knowledgable, dedicated, flexible, great time management and has a great teaching style - she identified the opportunities and grey areas and come up with the action plan to trained and teach. I have seen a great changes in my daughters scores and knowledge level. Wish her all the best.

"Aviad"

Tova’s excellent with standardized exams and knows the material inside and out. She’s always prompt and rapid with her responses, highly professional, and really intelligent. She was always extremely nice in all our encounters, and she gave me a lot of confidence. I trusted her to get me to a good score and it paid off! I got a perfect score. Really happy with the results.

"The Best teacher"

Tova’s a professional, patient teacher who always tries to “get” you and your learning style. She teaches in a really methodical way which goes with you step by step and builds a solid foundation, so that you don’t get confused or overwhelmed.
It’s obvious that she has a crazy amount of experience, and she seems to really care. Really wonderful teacher.

"Tova's the greatest teacher I've ever had."

Tova's the greatest teacher I've ever had. I've been working with her on and off for about 6 years. My parents hired her for me when I was 15 and starting to study for my SAT, and it was obvious I needed help. SInce then I've worked with her on college applications, calculus, math, English, and physics lessons in college, and most recently she's been helping me study for the GRE. She’s a genius.
Basically she's been my go-to teacher for everything, and in part this is because she's just so nice. I feel comfortable with her; there's no embarrassment or awkwardness, and by now I think of her as a close friend. The second thing is that she really is an excellent teacher. She got me to a 1560 on the SAT, which I'm pretty sure I couldn't have done by myself in a hundred years. Her company Tova Krakauer Coaching is wonderful, they always get back to you right away and are professional about everything. Recommended more than I can say.

"Tova is such a good teacher"

Tova is such a good teacher. She explains things clearly and easily, and when you don’t understand something, she finds a different way of teaching it. Her lessons are relaxed and stress-free, Tova is an encouraging and thoughtful tutor, and there was a certain amount of flexibility which I found important. Tova was willing to meet at hours when other teachers usually wouldn’t meet, because she knew I had an overloaded schedule and wanted to make it as easy on me as possible. Professional and committed tutor.

"Tova’s a great teacher"

Tova’s a great teacher, very patient and sweet. She has an in-depth understanding of standardized exams and guides you to the quickest and best way to solve. Clear explanations, and very methodical classes. Highly recommend!

"Tova Krakauer is an outstanding…"

Tova Krakauer is an outstanding coach/tutor. She is extremely knowledgeable and is excellent at working with others. She has tutored my daughter in advanced algebra and she had made a real difference in my daughter's understanding of the material and success in class. Thank you, Tova!!!

"Brilliant tutor"

Tova’s a brilliant, brilliant tutor. I’ve hired her for test preparation for two of my sons now, after my older son increased his score by over 400 points with her. (!) I’d sat in on some of their classes together and was impressed by how specific, knowledgeable, but also gentle her teaching style is. (They were working on the verbal parts, the reading comprehension section and the writing and language section.) My older son always spoke of her with great admiration, so when it was my younger son’s turn to do the ACT (my older son had done the SAT), I decided to go with Tova again. He needed more help with the math section, but it was the same story. He spoke of her very fondly, got a fantastic score, and was accepted into the school of his choice.
I’ve recommended Tova Krakauer Coaching to a number of my friends at this point, as well as to my sister, and they’ve all reported similar experiences. If you can afford it for your child, I’d definitely recommend trying the company, as you’ll get results instead of throwing your money away, and the investment is well worth it. Truly an excellent investment.

"Excellent math teacher"

Tova is an excellent math teacher. She tutored me during an online semester where everything is extra difficult and on my final exam I passed with a very high score. I’m not known to be too great at math, so her dedication and willingness to see me succeed was enough for me to achieve something I wouldn’t think possible. She is willing to meet to a great extent, making the session as comfortable and relaxed as possible. By the time we finished classes I felt a lot more comfortable with the material, and I could answer questions much faster.
Without her I couldn’t have accomplished what I did. I definitely recommend her!
