Reviewers highlight significant score improvements for SHSAT and SAT preparation, noting the owner’s direct involvement in teaching and a supportive environment that builds student confidence. Recurring themes include personalized attention and effective study strategies. However, several low-star reviews criticize the high pricing, inconsistent cost transparency, and a stressful atmosphere, with some alleging that group instruction replaced individual professional tutoring in later program stages.

GENIUNELY the best tutoring place ever! I came here for SHSAT ANDDD SAT and I was able to get into one of the best high schools ever! What makes it so cool is that BOBBY actually tutors you himself rather than working behind-the-scene. I love my high school and I don’t think I could’ve done it without his support 💕

This tutoring center changed my life. I was able to learn not only skills for the SAT, but for life in general. I was able to go from a 1330 to a 1520. The test is not only about skill; it’s about mindset. Bobby taught us how to be more confident and see things in a positive life.

Bobby Tariq is the best place for SAT tutoring in my personal experience of being a high schooler in sophomore year. I feel welcomed, comfortable and encouraged to do advanced levels of math and ela even if I haven’t taken a high course yet to take the SAT. Not only did I learned the best, efficient study methods and got the best life advice. I made the best friends, got motivation to start my passion project, and am doing significantly better than I would without Bobby’s tutoring center. I would definitely, always recommend Bobby’s and believe it could make a huge difference in students lives and there has been so much proof of that already

Highly recommend Bobby-Tariq Tutoring Center. I have been going here since I was in sixth grade and they helped me get into my #1 high school and college. I am 18 years old now and continue to go back to Bobby-Tariq Tutoring Center because of the care they have for their students and the dedication they have to the education of their students. There is a real understanding of the education that they are going to provide you with and how they will do it. Highly recommend.
Price assessment: Great price

I went here this year for the 8th grade SHSAT and let me say this was INCREDIBLE not only did bobby teach just math and english he taught us life lessons such as hard work detemination and FAR FAR more. I myself got into a Specilzed high school through bobbys tutoring.I started out with a abysmal score of 200 but by the end of bobbys tutoring i averaged 550+ a 350+ improvement in just a few months.Now if i got in to a specilized high school and i started at a 200 score im sure just about anyone who puts in the work and dedication to bobbys work and learns what he teaches they will I can as far as i know get in to a specilized high school.
