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.

Thanks so much to Solomon Tutoring!!…read more My daughter took her first ACT exam and we soon realized that she needed to brush up on her math skills. After taking her 3 NYS math Regents, she never took another math class and it showed. We were referred to Tunisia Solomon and after our first meeting, I knew we'd found the one! She was knowledgeable and understood just what we needed after that first meeting. She planned out a tutoring schedule that worked with my daughter's many extra curricular activities. For each session Tunisia was prompt, well prepared and professional. After just about 8 sessions we retook ACT exam and my daughters math score improved. She was accepted to (all the schools she applied to) Syracuse, Penn State, Binghamton, Temple, Towson and FIT! She chose Penn State and she recently passed her math placement test so she can register for a full credit math class when she starts university. Tunisia did that!!

We're very grateful for the care and guidance provided and highly recommend Reading Town Sunnyside to other families.

I highly recommend Reading Town in Sunnyside to any parents who need help for their children and also need guidance themselves. Reading Town is the place you're looking for!

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!

The college application and decision process can be extremely overwhelming, and Chris' help and…read moreguidance throughout the entire experience from beginning to end was indispensable. There are so many aspects that need to be managed, and Chris keeps you and your child on task. He is also very easy to contact, which is SO important. A friend of ours referred us to Chris, and we reached out to him very early in the process, which was very beneficial. Our son was very unsure as to what school he wanted to attend and also did not know exactly what he wanted to study. Chris helped us narrow down our choices as time went on, helped us with school visits, helped us with Naviance (which is a nightmare), and also kept our son on task as far as testing and classes.
