My son Andrew really connected with his Catalyst tutor. Personalities are very important. Andrew scored a 34 on the ACT - the highest score in his school - and a 2160 on the SAT. I've referred as many people as I possibly could to Catalyst.

- Denise Heller, Parent, Westlake High School

My son loved the class. He came home the first day and was telling me all about it. The way the teacher applied humor really helped him stay connected with the lessons. He takes the SAT this weekend so I'm very happy he enjoyed the class.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone at Catalyst. Their determination to conquer the SAT is inspiring. Because of time restrictions, we requested a personal tutor. Catalyst made sure that they picked the right tutor for Mike and that they worked well together. It was certainly the key to Mike's interest in the work, and his success on the SAT.

Thank you Catalyst for contributing to the significant improvement in Samuel's SAT score. He approached it with more confidence and it made a difference. I was pleased with the attention to his specific needs made by the staff of professionals at your company. I got both phone & e-mail updates on his progress and felt a genuine concern for his success.

I know that parents are faced with what seems like a million choices for SAT prep because I was one of those parents a year ago. How do you know whom to choose when everyone claims to be the best? For our daughter, we went by word-of-mouth and the experiences of people we trust. The advice all pointed in the same direction: Catalyst.

Christine got a 2080 on the November 1st SAT. I'm very pleased. Thank you, Catalyst!

- Ann Olson, Parent, Notre Dame High School

Sara has many skills but standardized testing is not one of them. We were shocked and pleased at her SAT score, which was 550 points more than her PSAT score! She took it seriously and worked hard, and her tutor was serious but kind. It was a pleasant experience during a difficult time.

- Ilece Buckley Weber, Parent, Agoura High School

Jessie went up 300 points on the SAT and got the score she needed for her top choice. She had worked with another prep company before and there was no comparison. The Bootcamp was great and we'll use Catalyst for our younger daughter Samantha.

- Catherine Capaldi, Parent, Simi Valley High School

Garrett found your SAT Bootcamp very helpful and worth the time. He enjoyed the instructors and felt they were very strong. Thanks for scheduling the event for our school on such short notice. We loved the fundraising opportunity.

- Diane Combes, Parent Faculty Club, Calabasas High School

Our daughter had an SAT score in mind which she wanted to reach in order to be considered for the school of her choice, UC Berkeley. We started out with a different company at first, but she felt she wasn't getting the proper guidance and instruction she needed in order to conquer her goal. Catalyst did a thorough analysis of her strengths and weaknesses and made sure they united her with an instructor that could help her succeed. Thanks to Catalyst our daughter not only achieved her goal, but surpassed it and is now in her second semester at Berkeley.

- Lisa Medford, Parent, Oak Park High School

Good feedback from Jenna. She found the program very worthwhile. She thought the instructor was very good and helped a lot. The examples were relatable and the information was easy to understand. You managed to cram a lot of vital info into a short period of time. I found it easy to say "yes" to this program because the cost was reasonable. Lastly, she brought your SAT grammar guide ot the dinner table and read us your tips. Great family entertainment!

- Mary Ellen Sherry, Parent, Malibu High School

All three of our oldest children have used Catalyst to prepare for the SAT. The instructors have been outstanding. They focused our children in the areas they most needed to improve and kept them on track so they peaked right before the exam.

- Mark Borowski, Parent, Westlake High School & Oaks Christian School

Thank you! Matthew had a terrific result with your ACT prep and a great rapport with his tutor. We will absolutely call you the next time around.

- Sherri Cirac, Parent, Calabasas High School

Catalyst has unparalleled dedication to students and parents. I not only spoke regularly with my son's tutor - I also spoke regularly with Catalyst's directors, who knew me by name and were always up on my son Cameron's progress. We used Catalyst for the SAT, ACT, and SAT Subject Tests and recommend the company to anyone looking for the finest prep available.

- Mark Fishman, Parent, Notre Dame High School

We were very happy with Catalyst! We loved the tutor our son worked with: they had a great rapport, and we appreciated the convenient scheduling. Alex scored a 33 on the ACT and we were thrilled. Our twins will be using Catalyst when the time comes.

- Lisa Yee, Parent, Mark Keppel High School

Thank sooo much for the great SAT prep weekend. Colin had a really great time. He was excited after both days, recounting almost every word. He learned so much. We will be recommending you to everyone!

- Helen Gaskin, Parent, Palisades Charter High School

The SAT can be really tricky, with a lot of challenging math and reading questions. The Bootcamp gave me really good strategies.

- Rohan Rath, Student, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School South

Three of my sons got scores of 2000 or more! Catalyst helped them tremendously. The program's structure was perfect for learning the material and then reviewing it regularly. I will use Catalyst for all 8 of my kids!
