    What Customers Love

    I had an amazing experience working with Lee, Josh, and Clay for my business school test prep! Not only did they help me achieve my target score, but they went above and beyond with valuable advice and encouragement throughout the process. They took the time to understand my strengths and weaknesses, tailoring sessions to maximize my improvement. On top of that, they provided excellent guidance on how to manage stress and stay focused, which made a huge difference on test day. I felt supported every step of the way and couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

    I highly recommend Clayborne!! Clay did an amazing job helping me prepare for the GRE in 2014/2015! He did a great job making tutoring enjoyable. Thanks to his help, I was able to get the score I wanted and was accepted into several PhD in clinical psychology programs. I am now a licensed clinical psychologist, focusing on forensic psychology, and I still recommend Clay's services, as well as the vocab program we used during the tutoring (Membean).

    I started at Clayborne with a 1220 PSAT and the final test I took this October was a 1540, I'm beyond happy with the result! I had improved almost 200 points after the first several sessions and continued to steadily increase after that. The instructors know the test very well, so you will get specific attention not only on academic areas of questions based on what the SAT asks but also learn tips and tricks about the test itself. I also reliably ran out of time during the test when I started and learned to better manage my time while also increasing performance!

    Clayborne is great! Both of our children did test prep with them--our daughter for the SAT and our son for the ACT. In both cases, the improvement was astonishing--well beyond what we were expecting. Most of all, though, we appreciate the personal touch and the availability and kindness of the teachers. Scott and Alex were wonderful, and our kids really benefited. Highly recommended!

    I did LSAT tutoring with Clayborne with Clay and was able to improve my LSAT score by several points! I am extremely pleased with the quality of the tutoring - Clay was very helpful breaking down questions and targeting problem areas. The materials he shared with me were very helpful for all aspects of taking the test. Furthermore, he was very knowledgeable about the test and extremely accommodating of my schedule during tutoring and structuring the tutoring around my desired dates to take it. I would highly recommend Clayborne tutoring to anyone!
