Great for test prep Tova helped me with test prep. She has a deep understanding of standardized tests and how they work. She explained each kind of question, the thought behind it, what they want, and how I should go about answering it. I was getting confused by the math section, and anything that has to do with seeing patterns or series. Tova helped settle my confusion, making the questions easier to answer and a lot less intimidating. I found Tova Krakauer Coaching online, so I wasn’t sure about it at first. But I was vey happy with my decision. She’s a great teacher.

Tova Krakauer Coaching Tova Krakauer Coaching helped a lot when I was going through a very stressful time. I had been working on test prep for a very long time and didn’t feel like I was improving, which was very frustrating. Tova gave me great tips and help, supported me and guided me through the process, and was always very encouraging. She has considerable patience and a very relaxed presence, which helped calm me when I was getting stressed. My scores on the reading comprehension section and the writing and language section improved significantly, and I was accepted into the school I wanted. I was very excited and happy.

Gifted teacher Tova's tremendously gifted, an excellent teacher who also deeply cares about her students. She helped our twin girls prepare for their ACT and SAT, respectively, and we were blown away by both their final test results - far higher than anything I personally had been expecting. The services here were professional and extremely communicative. Tova often checked in with my husband and myself to explain how the girls were progressing or to ask us for our input, so that we felt like we were part of the process. It was extremely pleasant working with her.

Best SAT teacher out there. Tova's a wonderful teacher, probably the best I've hired for my kids. She's clearly familiar with every inch of the SAT and knows how to teach it in a way my son could understand. She helped him step by step through the reading comprehension and writing sections, which was what he needed the most help with. By the time they stopped taking lessons, he was flying through it and time management wasn't a problem anymore. And he got into Stanford on the strength of his score, so we're all definitely happy with the results.

Patient & Kind SAT Tutor I used Tova Krakauer Coaching to help me prepare for my SAT. We hadn’t been in school for a year because of Covid, so I was feeling really lost with the test preparation and felt like I really needed help. Tova is patient and kind, goes through each topic one step at a time and explains the ideas along the way, in a way I can understand. During the week between lessons, she would check in on me to see how I was doing with the assignments she gave me, and to ask if I needed help or direction. We worked mostly on the math section, but also a little bit on the reading section and on the writing grammar section. She was very supportive in a time when I needed it.
