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.

Tova is such a good teacher Tova is such a good teacher. She explains things clearly and easily, and when you don’t understand something, she finds a different way of teaching it. Her lessons are relaxed and stress-free, Tova is an encouraging and thoughtful tutor, and there was a certain amount of flexibility which I found important. Tova was willing to meet at hours when other teachers usually wouldn’t meet, because she knew I had an overloaded schedule and wanted to make it as easy on me as possible. Professional and committed tutor.

Tova is a very gifted tutor. Tova helped me with English and Reading Comprehension. She’s so talented – she knows every inch of English grammar and structure, and explains it all really well. She’s clearly extremely intelligent, and understood every bit of the science texts I brought her to dissect, and was able to break them down and explain every bit, even though they were things she’d never seen before. (I later found out that her background is in science and engineering.) She’s a clear and thorough teacher, and I continue to use Tova Krakauer Coaching for whenever I need English help or a little extra nudge. She’s helped me enormously.

Tova was excellent in helping me… Tova was excellent in helping me prepare for my exam. Her communication is always great, she’s supportive and helpful, and she made me feel calm and relaxed in regard to the test itself. She helped me prepare for my exam when I was really stressed about it. In the beginning Tova said she didn’t have the availability, but then she agreed to help me and I’m so glad she did! She’s a really brilliant tutor, caring, supportive, and flexible. She really made herself available to me and I could see that it made a huge difference in my score. All my interactions with Tova were very relaxed and pleasant, and my engagements with the company were professional and pleasant, and most importantly, I finished with an excellent score.

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.
