Made a huge difference in our son's SAT journey

Danny has made a huge difference in our son's SAT journey. Compared to the progress that he was able to make on his own, his results started soaring already with the first session with Danny. The sessions supported him both in terms of content and process. Clear explanations and competent review of certain subject areas made him prepared in a more balanced way. A super efficient feedback system and a well thought-out preparation schedule helped him make progress much faster than he originally thought was possible. The tips and tricks came as a bonus, but undoubtedly added to his competence level on the exam day. He reached his target score on the first retake after starting the sessions with Danny and is happy enjoying his stress-free summer since then. A real gift for everyone in the family!

Amazing

I walked away from every session with a new tool or strategy under my belt and improved confidence in my abilities for my upcoming test. Sean was super understanding and always ready to help me with anything I needed, and I feel so lucky to have had him as my tutor.

Danny is the best!

Danny worked closely with our daughter on SAT prep. In addition to bringing her scores up, she also made improvements in her study skills and her math class at school. We feel like Danny provided a truly tailored experience with the desire to meet our daughter where she was and then guide, challenge, and encourage her to a better place. I highly recommend.

Thanks so much, Lori! It was truly a pleasure to work with you and your daughter to support her on her way to an excellent performance on the SAT!

Highly Recommend

We are thrilled with the results our daughter achieved after working with Danny from Open Path Tutoring! From the very first session, it was clear that Danny was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my daughter’s success. He provided a personalized study plan that built on her existing strengths while addressing areas for improvement.

Danny was very patient and encouraging, creating a supportive environment where my daughter felt comfortable asking questions. His test-taking strategies were invaluable, and we especially appreciated the practice tests that helped simulate the real exam experience. The strategies Danny shared for tackling the math section of the test were particularly helpful and made a significant difference in her final score.

With his help, my daughter achieved the score she was aiming for and also developed a greater understanding of the test-taking process. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Danny Pernik to anyone seeking an SAT tutor.

Excellent experience

It was also very easy to reschedule and find new dates that worked. I really appreciated the flexibility and patience shown, especially over holidays and breaks where schedules can be a little more unpredictable. I found the teaching format to be very helpful, especially for math because the answers weren't just handed to me. Overall I had a very good experience being tutored with no complaints.

We are Open Path Tutoring Super Fans!

We had a phenomenal experience with Open Path Tutoring! Danny was very responsive to all of our questions, from scheduling to logistics to content. Every step of the way was incredibly easy, and once we had the schedule set up, Danny's sessions were fantastic.

My son's feedback about working with Danny includes that he is very efficient with his time while still being friendly and easy to talk to. He really liked Danny's unique system to help identify and target the areas he needed the most work on, and he really appreciated Danny's skill at helping him refresh his knowledge in those areas. His favorite part of working with Danny was how encouraging and supportive Danny was, every step of the way.

I can vouch for this encouragement because Danny checked in both before his SAT tests with great advice about how to manage the night before and day of testing, and also after the tests to hear how my son felt about his test.

From start to finish, Danny and Open Path Tutoring exceeded all of our expectations and my only regret was that we didn't start working with him much earlier in the process so we could have had more time with him!

Great service!

This is overall a great service. The tutors are friendly and easy to talk to, they make sure to go over content that you are weak in, and they give very helpful tips in order to improve your skills in these weak areas. Overall fantastic and very useful!

Danny is Wonderful!

Danny was an amazing help to my son! He was exactly what I was hoping for guiding Henry through standardized testing best strategies and practices. His demeanor was patient but firm and he easily recognized areas wherein Henry needed to concentrate most to raise performance. Because they tutored remotely, I was most impressed with Danny proactively sending technology items to Henry so that their remote communication could be best synchronized. Specifically, the piece of equipment allowed Danny to watch real-time as Henry worked through math problems. Danny was flexible and accommodating with scheduling, and communicated important feedback with me as Henry moved through his tutoring. Danny helped raise my son’s test scores CONSIDERABLY and it was very much worth the price and time investment. My son worked with Danny during the second semester of his Junior high school year and through the summer before his Senior year. January
2022-August 2022.

Becky, I really enjoyed working with you and Henry to help him increase his score and his confidence! I really admired his perseverance through the process, and he really earned his sense of accomplishment! Those positive feelings are far more valuable and long-lasting in my opinion than a strong test score alone. Wishing you both all the best! - Danny

talented tutor I will always refer to others

Danny at Open Path Tutoring has been a superb tutor for all of my children. He has tremendous intellectual horsepower, is knowledgeable and patient with teens and has a very high emotional intelligence. This rare combination of abilities is very challenging to find in a tutor. We are grateful for Danny's guidance and will continue to work with him and refer him to others needing top notch tutoring. My children have all landed at selective universities and Danny has been a significant factor in their successful journeys into college.

So thankful for his guidance

Just so thankful for the guidance and help provided by Danny. My son had taken his ACT several times and was at a plateau. He had taken ACT prep classes from other programs but could never make any improvement. Danny took the time to review his strengths and weaknesses. He found that reading was a difficulty and found a speed reading program to help my son. They met several times per week and he assigned the work. I am thrilled and grateful to say that his score increased 5 points and he beat his own goal. Danny set the plan and helped guide based on his knowledge of the test. If your child follows the plan and does the work, then they will be successful. Would highly recommend Open Path to anyone needing tutoring.
