Pinnacle Prep is THE BEST tutoring firm in NYC. And the proof is in his scores – my son Greg’s score went up 700 points! The owner, David Gordon, is a true professional and sets very high standards for all his tutors. They not only do a fantastic job with the SAT, but their tutoring for all subjects is outstanding. David is readily available, sensitive, respectful, and truly committed to making your child both successful and happy throughout the process. He and his team of professionals teach students real skills, not just how to memorize a list of a thousand vocabulary words. He keeps in close communication with all his clients, and his tutor manager Kelly is very helpful, sensitive, and respectful too. Another really great thing about Pinnacle Prep is that David and his close-knit teams of tutors return calls and are always readily accessible. Greg called his tutor the night before the SAT to go over a few questions, and his tutor was more than happy to hear from him. I highly recommend David and his team and can’t say enough good things about them. You won’t find a better firm.
“Erin helped so much, she was absolutely superb. The prepping was useful not only for the SSAT but I have found it to be very helpful in my other related subjects. For example, I was taking a science test, and I had to define a few words. I had no idea what the specifics of “Oxidative Phosphorylation ” were. However, I pulled out my SSAT skills and broke the word down and got the question right. All of her knowledge was enormously helpful. She was incredible.
When David Gordon met my son James, he immediately knew that Mike would be the best fit. Mike provided more than just technical guidance; he also coached James through the test-taking process by instilling confidence in his ability to do well and helped him improve over 400 points – achieving a superscore of 2400! Even though James had the raw materials – a fundamental knowledge base, Mike was able to teach him how to have the right psychological mindset to approaching these tests. Because of Mike, James was able to excel in a highly pressurized situation. Mike was truly amazing!
If it weren’t for the guidance and support of my tutor Leo and all the staff at Pinnacle Prep, I don’t think I would have gotten into NYU. Oh, and my scores went up almost 600 points!
All of my Pinnacle Prep tutors were outstanding! I really enjoyed working with them to reach my testing goals: my score improved over 400 points and I got a 2320 on the SAT!
Without Pinnacle Prep’s help and support, it’s possible I would not be at Williams College today. I was ecstatic to go up hundreds of points from my PSAT and achieve a 2390 on the SAT! Before working with Pinnacle Prep, the SAT intimidated me. However, after meeting with David and my tutor, I began to realize that with proper preparation, the SAT was a manageable test. My tutor was able to focus our time on specific areas and help eliminate my weaknesses. When it was time for the actual test, I was confident I could handle anything it had in store for me.
I felt very comfortable with the tutors at Pinnacle Prep, and they, in turn, were flexible in their approach with me. They designed a program that best fit my specific needs in order to achieve great results – my score jumped more than 400 points – I also really liked the people I worked with.
When I saw the SAT for the first time, I didn’t think I’d be able to even finish a section, let alone do well on this important exam. But David and Kiran showed me how to solve every type of problem, and soon I became an expert test-taker – I went from a 1470 to a 1940. I honestly do not think I could have mastered the SAT had it not been for Pinnacle Prep. They are real professionals who take their jobs seriously and make sure every student succeeds. Without them, I wouldn’t even apply to the schools I am considering. Pinnacle Prep is frankly outstanding.
Alex is such a great guy, and it was all thanks to him that my score went up over 500 points and I got a 12 on the essay!
Jane was accepted to her first choice, Colgate, so I believe her 400-point gain paid off! Thank you!
At first, I thought working one-on-one with a SAT tutor would be awkward and boring, but my tutor Carl was so smart and down-to-earth that I found myself genuinely enjoying the sessions. The techniques and learning tools he provided me with made the SAT a conquerable, and almost fun, task. I could hardly believe how much I improved on a week-to-week basis. My score went up 450 points! Pinnacle Prep does an incredible job preparing its students for the SAT through individual care and attention. They truly helped me realize my full potential.
My daughter got a 730 on both Math Subject Tests. Your staff is truly great. I keep recommending Pinnacle Prep!
Stephanie applied early action to Georgetown and Boston College. She was accepted to both and to the honors program at Boston College. She’s decided to go to Georgetown – her top choice! As you can see, it was quite an easy process thanks to you and her tutor, Carl. Thanks for all your help getting her ready for it!
At Pinnacle Prep, it really comes down to the people. The tutors who worked with my triplets were such cool, fun, smart people, making the test preparation process much more interesting and enjoyable! The tutors motivated my kids to work hard to achieve their goals.
David, thank you for all your help. We also send a huge thank you to Peter’s tutor Danny, who is absolutely WONDERFUL!
David, I just want to thank you and Alex for helping Melissa prepare for the SAT. She just received her scores and was delighted to see she achieved a 2030! This is a tremendous jump for her – over 400 points. We feel that her sessions with Alex were extremely beneficial and instrumental in helping her achieve her goals. Thank you again for all your assistance throughout this college preparation process! Pinnacle Prep is by far the best test preparation service we have ever encountered.
I can’t express enough gratitude to Pinnacle Prep, in particular to David Gordon and his team of extraordinary tutors, for helping my daughter get into Barnard College. Without the caring, dedicated professionalism of you and your staff, she never would have had the confidence and poise to believe in her abilities to reach her fullest potential (she went up almost 400 points!). I am a huge fan of Pinnacle Prep’s wisdom and skills. Bravo and thanks a million!
I knew that in order to improve my score, I had to meet with a tutor to sharpen my test-taking skills. My tutor Danny tirelessly worked with me on my essay, mathematical equations, and sentence structure. I committed myself entirely to Pinnacle Prep’s plan, which allowed me to develop the skills I needed in order to succeed – and I went up 400 points!
I learned more in those first two hours with Stephanie than in the entire prep course I took before.
I went from a 1400 to a 1990 after working with Pinnacle Prep – that’s up almost 600 points! I love my tutor Lauren. I actually looked forward to when she came because she was fun to be around while studying. She had a really good way of explaining things so that the solution was memorable.
I look forward to another child’s opportunity to work with Lauren. She was always prompt, cheerful, patient and encouraging. A truly lovely person from the inside out.
My Pinnacle Prep tutors were not only informative and helpful, they also truly cared about my progress on the SAT. I could not have achieved my goal without them, and my vast improvement on the SAT is proof of just how beneficial they truly were. I improved almost 600 points on my SAT score with a perfect 800 on the writing section! Thanks Pinnacle Prep!
The PSAT was awesome thanks to the help of Pinnacle Prep and my tutor Chris. Working with Chris was fantastic and I’m very grateful to Pinnacle Prep for giving me the opportunity to work with him! I learned new vocabulary words and read more books in order to improve my English comprehension skills. My sessions with Chris were terrific! Chris was always on time and fully prepared to answer all my questions. He was also a wonderful mentor, who made sure I understood all the concepts I encountered. I truly believe that because I reviewed the materials provided by my tutor Chris, the PSAT was much easier than it would have been if I had studied for it on my own.
