Alex Freedman- incredible tutor and kind person

Not only is Alex Freedman extremely kind and helpful, but he brought me to enjoy studying for the ACT as well as my daily school work. Before I started working with Alex, I had seen many math tutors and it always felt like a chore that I had to do in order to achieve the results I wanted. Alex made studying interesting and fun, always making sure I fully understood the concepts I was faced with—something that rarely happens in the classroom. He explains complex topics in a way that is easy to understand and that made me feel confident before any test I was going into. He is the best!

great tutor and on-site practice tests

Had great tutor who really helped our son crack the verbal aspect of the test whilst going beyond box just ticking. The on-site practice tests on Saturday mornings were painful but invaluable to track progress, identify areas for improvement, and demystify the testing experience. All this made a huge difference in his test scores.

Tutor Reviews

I have had a consistently amazing experience with Advantage. I worked with Alex Freedman on a year long French course and GRE tutoring. I also worked with Michelle and Ed on ACT and SAT tutoring. I have learned a tremendous amount, and my test scores have far exceeded my expectations!

Working with Alex was terrific

Working with Alex was a terrific experience, to say the least. He took the time to get to know me and understand how I absorbed information. In addition, he was always extremely patient to make sure I understood different concepts, and was happy to revisit concepts that that I needed to get a better grasp of. He's everything you'd want in a tutor.

Alex Freedman, extraordinary tutor

I have worked with Advantage for both the SAT and GRE. I had the great privilege of working with Alex Freedman for the GRE while preparing to apply to business school. Alex is extraordinary. His method is one that inspires confidence with genuine warmth and care for his students. Wildly brilliant and endlessly patient, it is challenging to put into words just how exceptional Alex is.

Amazing Experience Working with Advantage Testing!

I have been working with Advantage Testing for over 10 years—from high school to college, business school, law school, and beyond—and the experience has been universally exceptional. I have worked exclusively with Alex Freedman during that time for all subjects. Over our decade of work together, Alex has been extraordinary, helping me to grow personally, academically, and intellectually in ways I could not have anticipated. More than an exceptional tutor, Alex is a true partner to his students and fosters a nourishing and welcoming environment in which to push his students to expand their horizons and work harder than they thought possible. I cannot recommend Alex highly enough!

My experience with Patrick Connolly and Advantage Testing

I found Patrick through a referral and was told he was “the best of the best” and “some sort of magician”. Even with the laudatory preamble, my expectations were wildly surpassed.
Patrick’s impressive intellect combined with his knack for teaching make him the perfect tutor for any test you may be faced with- not to mention he is an awesome guy. He takes complex topics and presents them in a manner that is easy to digest and understand. Patrick helped me immensely with both subject matter as well as strategy, which in turn significantly increased my test scores and opened new doors of opportunity in my life. Patrick went above and beyond to ensure my success was maximized and somehow managed to make SAT tutoring sessions enjoyable. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone as he truly is “the best of the best”.

Patrick is a phenomenal GMAT math tutor and overall b-school consultant! Sarah has been a wonderful verbal tutor. Can't imagine this process without them! Two of the smartest people I have ever worked with. Patient, kind and encouraging.

Is 6 Stars An Option?

Working with Sarah Chapple and Patrick Connolly on the GMAT as well as graduate business school program applications was fantastic. Not only are they professional and extremely supportive in person, but also they seemed to work around the clock when it came down to crunch time. I have been working with Advantage Testing since 2009 (for the SATs), and I would recommend this company / service over and over again.

Advantage Testing: More $$ than your mortgage, but worth it.

I used Advantage for undergrad and graduate testing help, and while you may need to sell your first born to afford their services, they do work. I have found their tutors are the most prepared, educated, and professional. They also have access to exceptional resources that no other tutoring services offer, and have valuable insight into standardized testing from years and years of experience. It cost more than my rent, but I got into a top school.
