Very clear and thought out system for cracking the SSAT. We will be implementing these strategies over the next few months.

Provided great resources for studying and prep and clearly worked through problems while explaining her methodology. Was clear about the questions and provided great insights regarding how to take the test and how to prepare.

Explained very well for my son and us on how we are going to progress on his reading skills. Very good methodology, we like Gaye very much.
- Raul B. from Fulshear, TX
She has a great formula and strategies to approaching the reading portion of the SAT/ACT. She will explain her strategies and give the student time to practice these on their own time. Then when they meet together she reviews with the student any of the answers the student missed.
- Victoria G. from Driftwood, TX
Awesome experience! Love the practical approach to her lessons and tips for parents. She was always prompt with her replies and made scheduling changes to accommodate.
- Lauren G. from Friendswood, TX
She was straight to the point, explained everything clearly, and made sure Cameron understood what she was explaining. Cameron enjoyed Gaye and would like her to return for more lessons.

She is teaching my son how to write non-fiction essays. Right now she is working on hooks. She is very knowledgeable and patient. My son really enjoys her class.
- Jyothi T. from Katy, TX
Gaye was extremely impressive in her first lesson with both of my girls. One is in elementary school and one is in middle school. We will be continuing weekly lessons and I am confident they will improve their reading comprehension abilities with Gaye. I just hope Gaye doesn?t correct my poor grammar and sentence structure of my review. ????
- Karen S. from Sugar Land, TX
Gaye checked with me what my expectations and area for improvement for my daughter's ahead of time. She came in prepared and taught my daught great reading techniques. Looking forward to the next lesson.
- Nicole N. from Sugar Land, TX
My daughter is in desperate need of someone to help her get organized in school. She had some great ideas that will work for her and I?m hoping these help her out!!!
- Shelly M. from Katy, TX
Gaye exceeded our expections on every level. She is professional, friendly, flexible (Skype,) structured & exceptionally prepared. She recently helped our now, HS Senior daughter, who has Inattentive ADHD, with her college essay & connected well with her. She provided our daughter with patience, exceptional support, suggestions & notes for her as well as follow up sessions with us, We made Gaye aware of our time frame. She made herself available & worked diligently to completion and we are ecstatic with the results. We knew we made the right decision the moment we spoke to Gaye & would not hesitate to reach out again in the future. Thank you again Gaye! You are truly the best! Highly recommend!! (5 sessions)
- Mitchell B. from Hightstown, NJ
Gaye knows exactly what most students lack in solving SAT reading questions and she came with her own well prepared materials. My son satisfied with his first session with her.
- Wonho C. from Houston, TX
Gaye comes in prepared for what she is about to teach. She knows her material well, offers suggestions, she is in control of the entire lesson and commands attention and respect. I am so impressed by her work ethic and very confident that my daughter is in good hands and will excel. Looking forward to working with her more! Thanks, Gaye, you rock!
- Lillie W. from Richmond, TX
She was very patient with my daughter and listened what she has to say , my daughter loved her .
- Joanne O. from Katy, TX
Gaye was very quick to respond. She did a great job helping me brush up my skills on Micosoft Word and Excel in preparation for a new job. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing help in this area.
- Esther W. from Katy, TX
Gaye's extensive knowledge of SAT has been a great help teaching my son how to best approach preparing for SATs. She has also provided great assistance in preparing essays for applications and has offered several amazing alternative suggestions. I was amazed to hear her spin to a subject that I assumed was moot and turn it into a very delightful and fresh concept. I completely trust her knowledge of English and she has been able to answer all of my son's questions. I am very happy that she is tutoring my son and we are looking forward to great SAT results due to her efforts. Thanks Gaye.
- Nadim L. from Houston, TX
Last Thursday my daughter had her first class with Ms. Gaye. She liked it so much. Ms. Gaye is very nice, patient and well prepared. She listens to our request. Thanks.
- Qi M. from Pearland, TX
I was happy with her help on my college admission essays. We worked on grammar, wording corrections, and advice on content. She provides the corrections marked with a different color so they easily show on your essays. Overall, I'm happy with the result.
