I thought that Jack was a great tutor for the SAT because he was clearly very intelligent and helpful but also was a relatable guy that I felt I could talk to normally. He pushed me every time we met and I don’t think my score would’ve changed 190 points without it.

190 points up! Well done, Taylor! I agree that Jack is an expert and super relatable tutor. Thanks for sharing your warm words here! ~Bill Huston, Mindfish Co-Founder
