“My daughter worked with Gina for SAT verbal prep and was really pleased with her sessions. We were impressed with Gina’s expertise and her ability to break down strategies in a clear, effective way. She brings a wide range of skills to her tutoring and truly knows how to support her students. We’re very grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to other families preparing for the SAT.”
“Excellent tutoring company, their model for helping students achieve success is exceptional. They ensure that tutors are matched with students that correspond to their area(s) of expertise. Make sure that the matches work well for you. Having good working relationships with parents and students is optimal for ensuring students reach their academic success goals. I appreciate that Novastar encourages coaches to mentor the students they tutor, this helps both the coach and the student to show up more authentically. Students tend to perform better when they know someone is there to encourage in them.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Novastar. Our son really enjoyed learning from both his verbal and math tutors and we found the weekly progress reports and monthly mock tests to be helpful in tracking his progress. Over the course of a few months, Karen and Jasmine helped him improve his SAT scores dramatically, by more than 300 points! We are super grateful for both of his tutors and highly recommend Novastar.”
