Reviews by Students & Families about Our Private Academic Tutoring Services

My SAT prep with Asma at HelloCollege tremendously helped me. She was patient, took her time, and knew so many tips about the test that I had not previously known, even after taking 2 previous SATS. She helped increase my reading section score by 80 points in only a month, and she’s given me more confidence in my test-taking skills!

Hello College really got my daughter to college! She was questioning and grades were not great in the beginning, but she used the tutoring program, ACT prep, the essay writing portion, and finally the application process, and now she is going to the college of her choice! I have so much gratitude and appreciation for this program and a very special place for Kevin and Alison and everyone else that has worked so hard to help her!

I was assigned Asma Wazir as my tutor and she was absolutely fantastic! She gave detailed information and was amazing at listening to what I was struggling with, making my learning efficient and effective. I genuinely don’t think that I could have gotten through my Biology class without her help.
