Our son's tutor was extremely dedicated and conscientious. He sincerely wanted to help our son improve his ACT scores. Through both of their efforts this was achieved. Catalyst is a professionally run test prep company. I will continue to recommend Catalyst to friends.

- Tracey Hughes, Parent, Oaks Christian School

My son really found the program helpful. He especially liked the formulaic approach to the essay, and the breakdown of some of the math as well. He feels quite confident to take the test. We will use you again when it's time for Taylor's younger brother to take it. Many thanks.

- Judy Bennington, Parent, Viewpoint School

My son liked the program and thought that it was very informative and will be helpful next week for the SAT. Thank you.

- Linda Bick, Parent, Calabasas High School

Chase did very well on his SAT with the help from Catalyst's great tutors. Since my son waited until one month before the test to really start studying, Catalyst helped him focus on what he really needed to review for the test. He attended Catalyst's SAT Bootcamp and thought that was very helpful. Chase's tutors were very professional and we know they made a great difference in his test scores! I highly recommend Catalyst and have referred friends.

- Paulette Lambert, Parent, Viewpoint School

We were thoroughly pleased with the professional approach with the tutoring. Everything was organized and the tutors were on time and very considerate. What could have been an extremely intimidating and frustrating time was structured and relaxed for our daughters. They felt comfortable asking for additional clarification in areas that were challenging. Catalyst's directors took a personal interest in our daughters' progress and success. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend your company.

Geometry, essay-writing, reading comprehension... Catalyst has a great strategy for every single problem you'll encounter.

- Michelle Loria, Student, Paraclete High School

I want to thank you very much for your understanding, concern, and guidance. My daughter, Alia, is convinced she could have scored 200+ points better the first time around had she originally signed up with Catalyst. I wish we had found you before the first SAT. We will definitely call you again when our younger daughter is in high school.

- Manny Singh, Parent, Calabasas High School

Our son got into the school of his choice - the Wharton business program at the University of Pennsylvania - thanks in part to the tutoring he received from Catalyst. We have referred your company to so many families. I'll be calling you this summer for my younger son!

- Judy Crown, Parent, Thousand Oaks High School

I was very pleased with the Catalyst program. I liked the convenience, and the customer service was great. JJ liked his tutor - she was smart, professional and efficient - and he felt more confident going into the SAT. We just recommended Catalyst to another family.

- Lisa Kovall, Parent, Oaks Christian School

I went to a Catalyst SAT workshop and was blown away by the class. The teacher showed actual essays that have received perfect scores and explained how the students can follow certain guidelines to achieve great scores themselves. I chose Catalyst for my son and advocate all parents do the same.

- Lynn Benowitz, PTSA President, Grant High School

We highly recommend Catalyst's SAT prep program. Zachary's SAT performances were a direct result of the motivation and confidence he gained from his work with his Catalyst tutor.

- Beth Rayman, Parent, Viewpoint School

When it came time to hire an SAT prep service for our daughter, Rosie, we knew what to avoid. We had used another company for our older daughter and been disappointed with its poor service and phony guarantee. For Rosie, we decided to listen to the word of mouth of her friends at school. Rosie had heard great things about Catalyst, so we gave them a try. We were thrilled with the result. The difference between Catalyst and the company we had used before is night and day. Catalyst was responsible, encouraging, and raised Rosie's score from an 1880 to a 2190.

- Joanna Spinks, Parent, La Reina High School

I just wanted to tell you how great the SAT Bootcamp was for my daughter. She came home from the morning session the first day relaxed and confident. When I asked her if she liked it, she thought for a second and immediately I thought, uh oh. Then she looked at me and said, it was fun, I liked it, and I learned a lot. You could have knocked me over with a feather. The second day it was easy to rouse her from sleep to get her to join you. I don't know what you did - but she really liked it. I will tell you that she related to me that she felt she received personal attention, and that every kid felt the same way. She said you learned a little something about everybody and that made them feel welcome. She said it was also very easy to ask and answer questions without intimidation. I would definitely send her again if the need arises! And I have happily passed on your info to my friends with children about to take the SAT or going to take it next year.

- Candi Milo, Parent, Calabasas High School

Catalyst's private tutoring and SAT Bootcamp were a great one-two combination. The private tutoring focused on the areas Danny needed the most help, and the Bootcamp covered the entire SAT, building his momentum and confidence going into the test. Danny and I will gladly recommend you.

- Ed Reshew, Parent, Simi Valley High School

My son Rory had great things to say about Catalyst's SAT Bootcamp. He said the instructor was terrific at conveying all of the key concepts and gave students countless insider tips.

- Patti Behr, Parent, Loyola High School

In working with Catalyst, my daughter Alexandra gained great insight to prepare for taking the SAT exam. The program gave Alexandra the confidence to go through each type of question and know how to properly come up with the correct answer. We appreciate the thoroughness of Catalyst's program and thank everyone for their commitment in helping my daughter.

- Susan Cooper, Parent, Immaculate Heart High School

We had done another SAT prep course through a local community college, and Chris felt the Catalyst course was much better. I have two more boys after Chris and can tell you we will use your course again. I hope you will continue offering the Boot Camp at CAMS. Thanks for setting it up as a PTSA fundraiser!
