We run a special program at NC State Univeristy for international students from the Arab Gulf participating in a "Foundation year" program. These recent high school graduates are in a year long program that helps them apply to colleges in the USA and prepare them for American college life. We are now going into our second year of working with Mindspire. They have taught a full range of SAT English, Math and Subject test prep. classes to our students. Their teaching methods were very effective and they were extremely sensitive to the culture differences between our students and a typical student who has grown up in the USA. Not only did they teach classes on the SAT, they became invested in the lives of our students and helped them understand and navigate life in here at NC State. I would definitely recommend them! read more

My daughter has had great experiences with Mindspire. She has done a small group SAT prep course, had private SAT tutoring, had private ACT tutoring, and one academic session. Shahar and the other two tutors with whom she worked were excellent. Shahar takes personal interest in the success of his students and is clearly passionate about their learning and achievements. They offer flexibility in scheduling which was most helpful. My only regret is that my daughter didn't switch to the ACT sooner, but that is not Mindspire's fault. In a short period of time, she was well-prepared and got an incredibly high ACT score! I would highly recommend Mindspire to anyone looking for test prep and other academic assistance. read more

We signed up my daughter for 10 sessions with Mindspire. We are really happy about the outcome. During the summer, my daughter kept telling us that she benefited a lot from tutoring sessions and from the mock tests. Now that the SAT score has just come out, we are very satisfied with the outcome. The sessions with Mindspire identified the weak areas and then mitigated the weak areas through tutoring and exercises. These sessions definitely improved the test scores and more importantly ensured the consistency. if anybody wants to find a good SAT tutor, Mindspire will definitely be a great choice. read more

I had an outstanding experience using Mindspire Test Prep for preparing for my LSAT. Before starting Mindspire, I had already taken an LSAT online course and done about 4 months of self-study. My biggest problem was not fully understanding why I was getting certain questions wrong. This is what improved dramatically through using this test prep, and my score improved by 6 points! Unlike other test prep services, Karl, my Mindspire tutor, was extremely dedicated to providing me with a deeper understanding of the questions. On test day, I felt incredibly prepared and confident! Thank you read more

Mindspire is absolutely a life saver! Our tutor, Julianna Dempsey, is an absolute rock star! Our son had an incredibly busy schedule they had to work around and she did it without a hitch! After several sessions working with our son, she suggested he take the ACT because she felt it would be better suited to the way he processes questions. And she was so right! He did very well on the ACT and was accepted into his number one choice of college. I can't that Mindspire, and Julianna in particular, for all their assistance! Y'all are the best!

Shahar Link's Mindspire SAT and ACT tutoring is well worth the investment. He worked with my eldest son and his ACT score went from a blind score of 25 to a 33. He's attending UNC Chapel Hill. My younger son is currently working with him and his SAT score has already increased by 5 points. He and his team are top notch professionals, prompt and thorough with their session debriefs and always go above and beyond to answer any questions and customize the tutoring to fit the student. read more

Shahar is a gifted teacher, and very dedicated to his students. He worked with our daughter one-on-one via Skype over a 10-week period, and helped her tremendously. She gained confidence and specific time-management skills, which helped her bring up her ACT score by six points - exceeding her own expectations! Our daughter was recently accepted early-action to her dream school, and she will be forever grateful to Shahar and Mindspire Tutoring for helping her achieve this goal. read more

Mindspire was an excellent choice for my son who needed to prepare for SSAT. We were so lucky to meet Uri Brookmyer, a genius! Not only that he is knowledgeable about all topics, but he perfectly explains the strategies to solve the test in the most efficient manner. After only a couple of sessions, my son increased his score significantly. Uri genuinely cared for him and gave me a comprehensive report of his progress after each session. Couldn't ask for more! read more

I did Mindspire over the summer to prepare for my upcoming SAT's and it was very helpful. We set up meetings, usually in the mornings because that worked for me, and met a few times a week. My tutor was so helpful and understanding. I overslept once or twice and there was no problem, we just texted and met later that day. They have great tips and strategies that become habit when you take the test. I really recommend using Mindspire. read more

Once my son started working with Mindspire, he substantially upped his game on the ACT. He had earned the same score twice. He was not satisfied. Mindspire helped him identify the kinds of questions he was missing so his studying time was more efficient. They helped him to recruit the confidence and skills to master the test. To our shock and delight, he killed it-- earning 4 more points--a perfect score. We are so grateful!!!! read more

Mindspire is a great business that allows you to choose exactly what tutoring your student needs. We chose private tutoring for my son and a friend so he could be tutored on areas of weakness rather than the "blanket" approach. They are an investment in your student's future. We were extremely pleased in the tutor selected for us. ACT score increased 4 points. read more

Jacob is a great teacher. He provides help as much and when ever you need. You will also receive a valuable report of analysis of the practice tests. Shahar was very helpful in explaining the class set up. Mindspire has met all our expectations. All in all I will highly recommend to sign up with Mindspire if you want to improve your ACT score! read more

Love that they are not a "one-size-fits-all" kind of tutoring prep. Very individualized and extremely helpful both in test preparation and mastering strategies for academic work in general. All three of my children -- and many of their friends that we recommended -- have benefitted greatly from their services. A worthwhile investment. read more

Shahar ran a weekly lesson through my school for several weeks. His teaching and the very useful prep booklet that we got were both very important in raising my act score. With almost no prep outside of these weekly classes, I was able to raise my score all the way up to a 32!!! Mindspire really helped a lot!! Would recommend. read more

After working with his Mindspire tutor, my son's SAT score increased significantly, far more than we expected it to. As a testament to how great the tutors are, my son looked forward to each session with his tutor and completed all of his homework without argument. I highly recommend Mindspire for test prep services. read more

I've been really happy with Mindspire so far. This is my second time using them. The first time I saw improvements far greater than the guaranteed point increase. I really like having the tutoring working with me in my own home. The personal tutors helps me really double down on my personal struggles. read more

Through testing, Mindspire identifies weak areas and caters tutoring specific to your child's weak areas. Chrissy was a fantastic tutor for my daughter: patient, creative and thoughtful. With the strategies she taught in place, my daughter brought her ACT score up 4 points to a 35 composite! read more
