"When I first met with Hafeez, we set goals for each SAT section, which to me were only a dream. Hafeez taught me that the only way to achieve these incredible scores was working hard. After lots of time and practice, I eventually secured a score within 20 points of my once-unbelievable target."

"I’d come to convince myself of an incontrovertible truth - I was not a strong standardized test taker. But working with Shagran was different. A concept wasn't just ever "understood," but it was completely learned. Shagran didn’t just build test-taking skills. Shagran built confidence. He celebrated my strengths until even I, crazily enough, started to believe him."
