"We had a fantastic experience with Ascension Educational Services while preparing our son, John, for the SSAT exam. From the beginning, Alycia was incredibly supportive and responsive, taking the time to understand John’s strengths and areas where he needed a boost. She matched him with Laila, a tutor who turned out to be the perfect fit.
Laila was not only knowledgeable and professional but also patient and encouraging. She helped our son stay focused and confident throughout the study process. Her strategies and insights made a huge difference in his understanding of the material.
Thanks to Alycia and Laila, John went into his SSAT exam feeling prepared and self-assured. I’d highly recommend Ascension Educational Services to any family looking for expert academic support and truly caring professionals. We’re so grateful for their help!"
She got into Nobles & Greenough, Newton Country Day School, Dexter Southfield, Buckingham, Brown & Nichols (BB&N), and is on the waitlist at Rivers.
We are all very thrilled, proud, and grateful!
Regarding my son, he is an A+ math student these days, thanks to his virtual tutoring sessions!
He scores 100% on his in-class tests, and he is just killing it! He completes his homework with ease and confidence. We are so proud, and he is so proud—he is a top student!
They have both come a long way, and we are all very happy with their results! Thank you so much to Alycia and Elizabeth!"
Elijah began working with Jonny and Alycia at Ascension in 2022, where he focused on ISEE test prep and developing his math skills.
With their support, Elijah now tackles advanced math problems with ease and earned straight A's on his last report card. Elijah loves Jonny's engaging teaching style, especially the "push-up breaks" between problem sets, which make learning fun!
Mattea's journey with Ascension began last year when she worked with three of our wonderful tutors, Elizabeth, Grace, and Johnny, to improve her ISEE math score. Mattea's mom noticed that during her tutoring sessions, Mattea was always laughing and fully engaged with the lesson. Her tutors' energy and enthusiasm instilled enormous confidence in her abilities.
Over only 5 weeks of tutoring sessions, Mattea raised her math score beyond her target, and she will attend the Ethical Culture Fieldston School this fall. Her mother, Kara, is a certified wellness and resilience coach who has extended her practice to work with families going through the admissions process.
Mattea is an avid bookworm (her current favorite is "The Keeper of the Lost Cities") and will soon star as the Wicked Witch in a production of Shrek. Thanks for being an ascending scholar in our learning community, Mattea!
Avi worked with our tutors, Elizabeth and Jonny, for months on reading comprehension, math, and vocabulary. Avi built up his test-taking muscles alongside his tutors, particularly in simplifying complex concepts presented in the readings. His hard work and dedication led to a soar in his reading comprehension score.
In his free time, Avi loves playing hockey and hanging out with his friends. Keep scoring and soaring, Avi!
