Fantastic Tutoring

Revolution Prep has been an incredible partner in my daughter's SAT journey. In just three months, her score improved from 1450 to an impressive 1550! Her tutor, Ashley, has been absolutely phenomenal—always flexible and committed to working around her schedule to provide the support she needed. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and results!

AP tutoring

We have been using Revolution Prep for over two years for both AP classes and ACT testing and have been very satisfied, but Dehavion Knight is EXCEPTIONAL. I highly recommend her; she was so patient and was really able to breakdown the complex concepts covered on the AP Bio test. After the session was complete my child stated that she wished she had had her all year as a teacher and not just for the final. Next year we plan to work with her on a regular basis for AP chem. She is the best!

Great Tutoring Services

We have currently been using Revolutionprep for both of our daughters tutoring needs in math. We are very happy that we have found them. Joe Twohig has been a big help as far as coordinating the tutors for us and making sure everything has gone smoothly. I have tried other tutoring services before, but I am very happy with the knowledge and direct support that revolution prep has provided. Their tutors just to name a couple that we have tried, Scott and Samantha are experienced and really good at what they do. We will continue using their services.

Worth every penny

My daughter, who is currently in 11th grade, used Revolution Prep for ACT tutoring, and our experience was outstanding from start to finish. I highly recommend this company to anyone in need of a tutor.

Before our first session, Sue took the time to thoroughly explain the process and was incredibly helpful in finding and scheduling the right tutors for us.

My daughter ended up working with two different tutors (Katie and Zach), and she thought both were excellent. She was thrilled with her results: her composite ACT score increased by 4 points, with individual improvements of 7 points in English, 5 in Math, 4 in Reading, and 3 in Science. Her tutors kept in regular contact with me, providing updates on her progress and even sharing videos of their sessions.

My son has had a wonderful experience…

My son has had a wonderful experience with his tutor, Joshua Duff, who has helped him immensely with giving him meaningful test-taking strategies that he never would have learned on his own. From picking out important information when reading passages to breaking down math problems into more digestible components, my son says these skills have helped him in his regular academic subjects. He looks forward to his tutoring sessions and readily does the homework in preparation for his follow-up sessions. Joshua has been very flexible in helping him with his upcoming AP exam as well. I highly recommend Revolution Prep and wish we had started this earlier in his high school experience for regular tutoring for his academic subjects. David Zimbalist has also been incredibly helpful in navigating this tutoring process and I appreciate the time he took during a phone conversation prior to my son beginning his sessions. Furthermore, he has continued to check-up to see how my son's experience has been.

David Zimbalist and Kris Gamble are a super team! From my first meeting with David to hear my son's unique needs to the first meeting with Kris, nothing has ever clicked this easily with my son! David took the time to let share all about my son. he matched us with Kris. From the first meeting, they hit it off. My son's grades have greatly improved after a few sessions. We could not be happier! Kudos to David and Kris. Thank you for getting to know our son!

Positive Experience with Rev Prep Tutoring for HS Junior

My junior son has had a great experience working with his Rev Prep tutor, Cara Rabaev. She is qualified to tutor in many of his subjects, and works with him on both his AP and academic courses. She communicates and tutors him clearly and positively. We receive a summary of every session including what was covered as well as recommended study assignments for the next week. She also includes a short video so we can review their interaction and see that my son is actively participating. Most importantly, there is a direct improvement on the subjects that he works on with Cara. Joe Twohig is our advisor and is easily accessible and helpful while providing personalized direction for our son on the different programs and offers from Rev Prep. Overall, great experience this year!

Tutors don't show up

Tutors don't show up, reschedule to a random day/time with no notice of class being rescheduled ( just noticed the calendar date changed ). Zero follow up when reaching out in regards to a no show tutor, and no one answers the main line.
Avoid!!!!

Effective and a great experience!

We have been working with Revolution Prep for over a month now, 2x a week and it has really reinforced my daughter's school work, Pre-algebra. She struggled with some of the concepts but having Nicole provide the lessons/teachings in a difference lens has really shown effective and valuable. Incredibly happy with my decision to sign up with Revolution Prep. In addition, Diane has been an incredible contact and support system through the set up and questions along the way. Thank you!!

Misleading

The company is not well organized, the website is hard to navigate compared to others, and I found it incredibly deceptive to pay for 12 hours broken into 30 minute sessions, but they only go 25 minutes because of policy. Over time, that means while I anticipated having 720 minutes (12 hours) of tutoring, my child only receives 600 mins (10 hours) due to their practices. I would not recommend this company at all

ACT Prep

We had a fantastic experience with ACT tutoring through Revolution Prep!
My daughter raised her math score significantly, which will allow her to meet her overall ACT score goal.
Her tutor Christian Collins was extremely knowledgeable, and also so engaging that she always enjoyed her sessions. Academic advisor David Zimbalist was enormously helpful in creating the right program for her specific profile and math score goal.
I recommend Revolution Prep for college test tutoring with zero reservations!

I wholeheartedly recommend Revolutionary Prep for both SAT preparation and academic subjects. The academic advisor and team lead, David Zimbalist, was incredibly helpful, consistently providing timely guidance and information for every inquiry we had. My son is a senior in high school, he received private SAT and Pre-Calculus tutoring after being expertly matched with an outstanding tutor, Preston Peoples. Over the past five months of lessons and practice, his SAT scores improved significantly, and his confidence soared, thanks to the knowledge, valuable tips and support from his tutor. As a parent, I was kept informed about my son’s progress through video updates and feedbacks, which I really appreciated. I am truly grateful for all the assistance and encouragement he received.
I highly recommend their services!

Excellent, skilled tutors

We had an excellent tutor in Shaun, and he made an enormous difference for our son who has been working on improving his SAT scores. While I'm sure doing work after school hours or on the weekend were not what he wanted to do all the time, our son really appreciated his tutor and got a ton out of the information and skills he picked up. His scores came way up, and it was well worth the investment for our family.

I would highly recommend Rev Prep!

I would highly recommend Rev Prep, our experience was outstanding from start to finish. Both boys used Shawn as a private tutor and had their scores go up almost 200 points each. Shawn was energetic and supportive as they slogged through topics, but pushed them as well while understanding the balance needed for homework and school commitments. She made it fun for them and they enjoyed their time with her. And... the results speak for themselves. Further. Sue H in the office was great to work with whether adding tutoring hours or advising us of promotions to maximize savings. This is an impressive group.

My high school senior scored a 1540 on the SAT, thanks to the incredible tutoring from Dalton! My son and Dalton met remotely over 6 weeks. Dalton honed in on exactly where my son’s weaknesses were and helped increase his math score by 70 points! Sue H was a terrific parent resource and matched my son with the best tutor for his learning style. I highly recommend Revolution Prep!

Excellent ACT/SAT prep tutors and value

My son is a junior doing ACT / SAT prep. He was matched with an excellent tutor Preston Peoples. Preston has been flexible in scheduling, engaged thoughtfully with my son, provided test taking tips, and helped him build overall test taking confidence. I’ve worked with Rev Prep with my two older kids as well on both ACT and SAT prep. Great service and value.

Building skill and confidence

Diane matched our son with a wonderful tutor in Morgan. Even in a year when not reporting is an option, we have found great value in this process. The skills and confidence our son has gained will serve him beyond the SAT. Keeping a seventeen year-old engaged at the end of a long school day is a feat, and Morgan has managed it. Thank you!
