We selected Catalyst based on word-of-mouth and the advice of our guidance department at school. The instruction and personalized attention were just what we envisioned. Catalyst's founder even filled in for a lesson when Andrew's tutor was out-of-town. We're very proud of Andrew and his accomplishment: a 33 on the ACT!

My son thought the Bootcamp was very beneficial and well worth it. He feels it will definitely help him on the actual test. Thank you so much!

- Maritza Talamante, Parent, Claremont High School

My daughter loved the Bootcamp. She came home and said it was "money well spent." She said the instructor was an amazing teacher who was smart and funny. She can't wait to retake her SAT's because she learned so much. Plus it was affordable. Thank you for setting this up.

A few easy stress-free sessions with my Catalyst tutor helped me boost my already solid SAT score almost 100 points!

- Michael Callas, ASB President, Agoura High School

Catalyst provided the structure Zach needed and I liked how the materials were organized. They included me in the process - my job was to quiz him on vocabulary - and the personalities were great. The people at Catalyst are down-to-earth and genuine.

- Barbara Koretz, Parent, North Hollywood High School Highly Gifted Magnet

My daughter chose Catalyst's Prep With A Friend™ so she could have someone going through the same program to study with on the days the tutor wasn't there. I recommend Catalyst's Prep With A Friend™ to anyone looking to cut expenses and still get the benefit of private, in-home tutoring.

- Cathy Stangland, Parent, Louisville High School

Tutoring with Catalyst was supportive, nurturing and educational. We used Catalyst for both our sons, Jeremy and Jonathan, and they learned things that they didn't get in high school: how to study independently and organize their time. We feel our money was well-spent!

- Shelle Daniels, Parent, New Community Jewish High School

We used Catalyst for our son, Kyle, in preparing him for the ACT and had the pleasure of getting to know several tutors within the company. We were highly impressed by everyone working with Catalyst and my wife, Christy, and I very much admire Catalyst's dedication and enthusiasm. This company is a wonderful asset to the students at Oaks Christian.

- Jim Stanich, Parent, Oaks Christian School

I had a very good experience with your company! We tried 3 other companies over the last few years with our three children and Catalyst was the best. My son's score went up 300 points and he is now at UCLA!

- Susan Chodakiewitz, Parent, Shalhevet School

We didn't have much time to prepare for the SAT, so the Bootcamp really helped. Now I tell everyone not to waste their money and go straight to Catalyst. Our son is at Georgetown now!

- Allison Sugasawara, Parent, Viewpoint School

My son, Bryan, and many of his friends on Camarillo High's baseball team, have used Catalyst to study for the SAT and ACT. All of us agree: the tutoring is sensational.

- Brad Willson, Parent, Adolfo Camarillo High School

Thumbs up! The Bootcamp really did help a lot - it was strenuous and entertaining at the same time. The essay stuff really helped - I used the advice and got an 11 after getting an 8 before.

- Brittany Edelman, Student, Windward School

Thank you for all of your help! We're thrilled to report Danielle gained early acceptance to her first choice college, Pitzer. Our entire family is elated and so proud of her accomplishment. Catalyst was a huge help to Danielle during the test prep / college admissions process. Thank you for helping Danielle clarify and perfect her essay. Your essay writing and editing insights allowed Danielle to express her true voice and let the admissions committee know just how dedicated she was to attending Pitzer. The result speaks for itself. We're thrilled.

- Gayle Holmes, Parent, New Community Jewish High School

Wanted to pass along that Camille got a 27 on her ACT! She was hoping for a 26, so she was thrilled!

- Stacey Stephens, Parent, La Reina High School

I am extremely pleased with the result of Catalyst's tutoring. My older son Andrew had about a 400 point increase in his score and currently my younger son Kyle is tutoring with Catalyst. We are very confident that we will see a similar result with Kyle as well due to Catalyst's support and ability to match the best tutor for each child.

- Arezoo Shayan Fiouzi, Parent, Calabasas High School

My son, Jeremy, used Catalyst Prep for the SAT and was very happy with the curriculum and instruction they provided. The instructor explained information thoroughly, focusing on Jeremy's area of weakness while also bolstering his strength. Most importantly, Catalyst was responsive and gave honest, reliable feedback, which as a parent is most appreciated.

McAuley says the SAT Bootcamp answered a lot of her questions, and she knew how to approach the questions on the test. She found the classes valuable.

- Marnie Cahill, Parent, Westlake High School

I went to the SAT Bootcamp at Calabasas High School this weekend. I just needed to tell you one more time that the class was awesome. I especially loved the book and the teachers. Would you please tell them that I say thank you?
