Ofe Chiavacci

“My older daughter had been working with a tutor for 3 months and had not made much progress. After switching to First Class Prep she not only increased her scores by a great deal but she also earned admission to Dartmouth. My middle daughter had a specific area of weakness. Her FCP tutor worked with her strategically and she increased her SAT scores by 250 points in those areas. FCP provided the same amazing instruction and strategies for our son, who scored in the highest percentiles on his tests. We’re so happy that we found First Class Prep, and we highly recommend their tutors!”
