She ended up doing very well in the class and it was all due to Bryan. In addition to her math class he also helped increase her ACT score. I would highly recommend him. He is educated, knowledgeable and very easy to get along with. Most importantly, his methods work!

I am not one to write reviews but feel passionate about this. Beyond the Test's slogan should be…read morebeyond your expectations. My son's test scores were never a true reflection of his grades. Bryan and George taught him how to take tests. They evaluated his weaknesses and strengths and each week we saw improvement in his ability and self-confidence. Due to Covid so many tests were cancelled. He was only able to take the ACT once but he felt prepared. He just received his results and we are beyond pleased. His composite score increased by 6 points from the diagnostic. We signed on to assist in taking college entrance exams but got so much more. My son felt his test taking in high school also improved. They taught him techniques that will serve him well in college. My only regret is that we didn't find them sooner!

This is the first time I ever decided to get a tutor and I found this place through a Groupon. I'm…read moregoing to be taking the GRE to go to grad school and the test itself is beyond overwhelming especially because I graduated a few years ago. I worked with Nicole for all 4 of my sessions and I've grown to love that girl. She was not only patient but she tried and did everything possible to help me learn and make me feel comfortable. She pushed me to find the answers that I thought I didn't know but deep down I did. It was such a great help and refresher for me and I know it helped me brush up on all the useless math they teach us and we never need in real life. I've been to both locations and the set up is cute. Both locations are a office within a building that they rent out. All types of markers, pencils, pens, etc are available for your use. White erase boards and paper -- you can sit or stand -- play your own music in the background while working. They have snacks available for you if you need it. They tutor for any age and I would recommend it to anyone who needs to help.

Brian is both a phenomenal tutor and a phenomenal person. His approach to tutoring his students is…read moreunique in that he does not drill into quantitative or grammar heavy rules, forcing you to learn difficult math and complex sentence structure, but rather relies on testing strategies that are become intuitive as you work with him. I was able to hit my target GMAT Score after several months of working with Brian because I could be strategic and pliable on complex questions, number pick and look for patterns when required, and even make educated guesses in a matter of seconds to narrow down especially hard problems into a 50/50 shot. In addition to his fantastic study approach, Brian is just a good guy. Wow no one enjoys studying, Brian would make every session entertaining, keeping me motivated and eager to continue the work. I always felt as though he was just invested in my personal process as I was myself. While I'm incredibly happy with the results from using Reason Test Prep as a tutor, I'll genuinely miss my weekly sessions. Could not recommend Reason Test Prep any more!!!!

If you're reading this, you're likely deciding on choosing a GMAT tutor. Fair warning: I am going…read moreto heap praise on Brian Prestia. So much so that you might doubt the authenticity of this review. If you have any doubts about Brian, the GMAT, my story--anything--I encourage you to message me. I am the kind of person that the GMAT chews up and spits out. I am not a great test taker. I'm not even a good test taker. At best, throughout academia, my success has been equal parts hard work and luck. Beyond that, to say that "I'm not good at math" is akin to saying "the US hasn't had the best response to Covid"--it doesn't even begin to detail how bad the situation actually is. When I took a cold GMAT in February of this year, I got a 630: Q39, V35. I took a ManhattanPrep class, which didn't really help much, but by April, I understood a) how the GMAT worked and b) if I wanted to score above 700, I'd have to invest considerable time and resources. In that light, I found Brian on Yelp and we had our first meeting in early April. Outright, if you went to school in the American school system, Brian is very likely the best tutor for you. There are courses out there, like TTP and Magoosh, that walk you through every nook and cranny of the GMAT quant section algebraically. I know because I tried both courses. Unless you went to school in India, China, or are naturally outstanding at algebra, it is wholly unnecessary to re-learn and master algebra for the GMAT. It's also, I can imagine, incredibly time consuming (at least moreso than the 3-4 months I spent studying). The GMAT is a reasoning test, not a math test, and it rewards people who understand how to play the game. Brian shows you how the game works, what the GMAT is looking for, and most importantly, provides structure and sense to an otherwise unstructured, frustrating process. Brian is immensely patient, and he's adept at sensing where weak spots are. His approach to verbal is smarter and easier-applied than every other approach I've seen in other courses. If I could have created a GMAT tutor in a lab, it would come out looking a lot like Brian. I studied like a crazy person, and each session with Brian helped crystalize my learning. In my last few practice tests leading up to the real thing, I was consistently scoring Q50. That's a sentence I never thought I would type. Q50 is reserved for robots and weird kids with social issues that smell like cheerios and go to math camp. Or so I thought. Come test day, I got a Q49, V40: 730. A 100 point increase. Again, I don't believe I'd be typing that sentence if I hadn't worked with Brian. What's crazy is that I'm taking it again, because I know I can score higher than that. The GMAT has been my life over the past few months. I've read so many threads and posts from GMAT takers that would benefit from Brian's approach. If you can put in the work, and you have the time and resources to do so, Brian is the best option out there.

Really awful. Do not use Princeton Review for your SAT/ACT prep. I took it at POB High school…read more The instructor came late to class, forgot materials and did not know the work. He was really not qualified to teach. He mispronounced vocabulary words and repeated that "you should skip a question if you are not sure". The "guarantee" is garbage. You can get your money back if you get less than 200 pts more on your test than on your initial practice. You get 200 points by just practicing at home. It is nothing. Also we were supposed to take 4 practice tests for the guarantee, but the teacher did the 4th one in class and did not submit it! So the guarantee was void! They offered me their online review, but you can get a better one free thru the POB Library website. Instead of paying $1400 for their crummy course, hire a great tutor for $100 a session and it will be better. That is what my parents had to do. Now I feel prepared. Do not use Princeton Review for the SAT!
