My son found the bootcamp to be both enjoyable and educational. He told me that the instructors made the review almost painless by using humorous, modern-day examples (especially the use of excerpts from former President Bush's speeches to illustrate grammatical errors!) The teachers were engaging and made the whole experience rather fun. Thanks for providing a much-needed service!

We chose Catalyst to help our son Brian with all of his testing and throughout the entire college admissions process. Brian's tutor was a true mentor, guiding him through what is undeniably a very tricky process. We're happy to report Brian is headed to his first choice college.

Andreas got a 1980 and is now at UCSB. I was happy with the program - my son is a good student but wouldn't have studied on his own!

I thought Catalyst offered a good program for my son and would recommend it. I also think the SAT bootcamps are a great idea and would use it for my younger kids.

Because I was strong in math on my own, I didn't want to take a big SAT class where I would have to sit through concepts I already knew. I worked with Catalyst on the verbal parts of the SAT and got a much higher score on Reading and Writing than I ever thought possible.

When I got my score back the first time I took the SAT, I felt I could do much better. When I called Catalyst, they listened to me and didn't try to sugarcoat the situation. I attended Catalyst's two-day seminar the weekend before the next SAT and earned a sensational score the second time around.

With just three weeks until the test, Catalyst sent a tutor to our home to help my son, Nick. Catalyst designed a program to fit the time we had, and gave Nick the tools he needed to attain a terrific improvement.

- Anne Kimball, Parent, Oaks Christian School

My daughter Nicole felt that Catalyst tutoring was time well spent. The tutor was extremely knowledgeable and reliable, and helped Nicole not only prepare and study for all parts of the exam, but also understand the strategy involved in taking the SAT. The tutoring really helped her learn how to organize her essay so that she could complete a well written essay in the amount of time given.

My daughter, and a dozen of her friends at school, have used Catalyst to prep for the SAT. All of us agree: the mentorship and caliber of instruction are truly impressive.

- Rabbi James Kaufman, Parent, New Community Jewish High School

Hands down the best prep company, anywhere. Catalyst bumped my daughter's ACT score way up, exceeding all our expectations. A well-deserved golden reputation for the very best in SAT & ACT prep."

- Robert Iezza, Principal, Newbury Park Middle School & Parent, Westlake High School

My daughter thought the SAT Bootcamp was really helpful. I was having trouble motivating her to do any prep, but she will definitely work with you if she has to take any of these tests again! Thanks for offering your Bootcamp at a convenient time and location, and for an affordable price.

- Nancy Zimbler, Parent, Palisades Charter High School

I truly cannot say enough about the dedication of everyone we worked with at Catalyst. Catalyst was always available to talk about our son's progress and offer suggestions for improvement. I used the company for our older son, Mark, and again, for our younger son, Brian, and enthusiastically recommend Catalyst to every parent and student at Oaks Christian and elsewhere.

2110 on my first SAT. Thank you!

- T.J. Hennesy, Student, Westlake High School

My friend told me that Catalyst was the best. With tutoring, her son got a perfect score on the SAT and is now at Stanford. My daughter was paired with the ideal tutor and also attended Catalyst's SAT Bootcamp. Catalyst's directors and tutor really cared and were most supportive throughout the entire process.

I thought the Calabasas High School Bootcamp was excellent. Very helpful!
