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.

Wonderful SAT tutor for my children and friends' children. I've sent my three daughters to this tutor as well as many of my friends. Her professionalism, communication, and level of caring are beyond the pale, and she coaxed out of my kids final scores on their SAT I didn't think they were capable of. I also noticed that my children’s general grades rose during and after the period she taught them; they learned better study skills as well as test-taking skills with her. It was a great investment.

Patient & Kind SAT Tutor I used Tova Krakauer Coaching to help me prepare for my SAT. We hadn’t been in school for a year because of Covid, so I was feeling really lost with the test preparation and felt like I really needed help. Tova is patient and kind, goes through each topic one step at a time and explains the ideas along the way, in a way I can understand. During the week between lessons, she would check in on me to see how I was doing with the assignments she gave me, and to ask if I needed help or direction. We worked mostly on the math section, but also a little bit on the reading section and on the writing grammar section. She was very supportive in a time when I needed it.

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.

Impressive SAT tutor I was impressed with every aspect of how Tova prepared my son for his SAT. Her professionalism, her experience, her rapid intuition for what my son needed to understand and improve, and almost more than anything else, her communication with us and her obvious desire that he succeed, made for the most effective tutor I've seen. A 560 in the reading/writing section became a 750, and a 710 in the math section became a 770. What else can I say?
