Livius Prep - Newton - Newton, Massachusetts

Dapo O.

Thank you for working with us to improve Ola’s SAT results. He had a 130 points improvement after working with you for just one month! We are very excited about his present SAT scores and are very hopeful he will get into all the schools he has applied to.

As a Livius staff member, I am proud that my son, like the children of all Livius employees, benefits from tutoring and school counseling here alongside our clients, starting from an early age and continuing through college preparation. We deeply value the outstanding educational opportunities that Livius provides and feel honored to be part of the Livius family.

I would like to express how happy we are partnering with Livius. Both of our children have used Livius tutors and have seen substantial improvement. Everyone at Livius is so easy to work with and it’s been a pleasure from day one.

Livius found a tutor that fit my son's learning style perfectly. The staff was highly professional and the regular post session email updates made it easy to see how the process was going. My son improved his SAT 90 points in a short period of time, and he singled out the help from his tutoring as being the key factor. I would recommend the service to any busy parent looking for a high quality and easy to use service.

Livius has been a great resource for my daughter whose Is a senior. They have been friendly, caring and professional . They helped her improve her SAT score by 50 points after 1 month of tutoring. They have also helped her created a well structured college essay. The Tutors have been amazing!

Our first interaction with Livius was a consult with Kristi where we discussed my daughter’s goals in detail. At the time my daughter and I were auditioning a number of different SAT-prep services. We determined that the best first step was to take the Livius Comparison Test, a thorough diagnostic that helped us understand whether the SAT or the ACT would be a better fit. We established a convenient testing timeline and confirmed a schedule with a Livius tutor.

Unfortunately this tutor was not a good fit…at all. But to their credit, and despite the fact that we had one foot out the door, the Livius team understood our concerns, and responded rigorously to provide other options and a new schedule. The result was transformational. The new tutor, Reza, did an amazing job with both strategy and tactics, helping my daughter understand where she needed to focus her macro and micro efforts to win back the points she had missed on previous tests. Reza’s expertise, as well as the consistent data and established curriculum that Livius provided were critical to that process. My daughter was able to increase her scores, helping make her a competitive applicant for the top-tier schools to which she planned to apply.

My daughter had such a good experience with the Livius SAT prep, that she decided it might be good to also have another point of view on the entire college application process. Livius then matched her with Jodi, an extraordinary college counselor who was able to additionally help my daughter make the most of the more qualitative aspects of her college application. My daughter knew that great SAT scores weren’t enough, and Jodi was an instrumental resource and coach for helping her identify and further articulate accomplishments/interests/passions into a holistic application that was even more compelling. My daughter was grateful to be accepted to schools that were important to her, and most importantly to her top choices: Harvard and NYU. My daughter’s work with Livius was a very helpful component of all that she did to make compelling cases for her candidacy at the schools she was most interested in.

Throughout the process, Kristi and Rebekah on the admin team were quick to respond to our questions, needs and concerns. The team was friendly and enthusiastic and genuinely invested in my daughter’s overall experience and success. They were genuinely interested in helping my daughter further curate and take fuller ownership of some of the life skills she deployed with the schools that she was passionate about. Livius is a great non-family resource and the team is best-in-class. I can’t recommend their services highly enough!

Livius tutoring has been a great benefit to my son. They are very professional and punctual implementing and executing the tutoring sessions. Their promptness for sending out information and reminders are excellent. The classes are interesting, interactive and very informative. My son loved the sessions and looked forward to logging on for them. I only wish we had heard about them sooner. Please give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.
