One Smart Kid

My daughter, with the help of her tutor at One Smart Kid, was able to improve her SAT score by over 200 points!
My daughter struggles with a slight processing disorder and they were able to help her develop her test taking strategies, along with her study skills which has helped her in her school work as well. I am very happy with the progress I was able to see and by the dedication of Marci and her staff. I would definitely recommend to One Smart Kid to other families.

One Smart Kid and Marci provided tremendous support and assistance to our son both in preparing for the SSAT and the SAT. Marci really got to know him, and really understood who he is, how he takes tests and how to help him «show what he knows». She matched him with a tremendous tutor both for the SSAT and the SAT. The tutors were genuinely interested in how he did, very friendly and they made the bummer of being tutored after school more than bearable. They were willing and happy to talk with him about non test related topics and were excellent role models for him. He was accepted to all the independent high schools he applied to in San Francisco after OSK’s SSAT tutoring. His SAT scores improved significantly thanks to OSK’s tutoring (more than 200 points). He has been accepted to several colleges both here and back east. I recommend them very highly. A.E. San Francisco

My then 7^th grader started with OSK in the spring of his 7^th grade, after his math scores on a sample SSAT test were low. Marci did a diagnostic session with my son and was incredibly encouraging about his prospects for improving his score. I hired OSK for math support and for SSAT math prep. The two tutors that my son had were great, and he actually enjoyed going to see them. I received weekly updates of his progress, and his confidence and performance in math class improved steadily. As for his SSAT scores, on his first attempt he got a 57%, second attempt he got a 59% and the final attempt he received an 88%! Mission accomplished! I highly recommend OSK.

The folks at One Smart Kid helped my daughter prepare for her SAT’s. With their tutoring, she was able to improve her score by over 200 points.
The tutoring and support that she received were a great help in enabling her to gain confidence, navigate the test, and implement successful testing strategies. I feel certain that the things she learned at One Smart Kid are directly responsible for her improvement. In addition the staff at One Smart Kid worked conscientiously with us to accommodate our schedule (which became quite tricky as the demands of testing and high school began to conflict). I highly recommend One Smart Kid.

Well, I have to say. It doesn’t make sense to purposely have a kid do horribly. My oldest son took their SSAT practice test and two prep sessions and his scores improved measurably for the real test. He ended up getting into every independent school he applied to. (not just on test scores alone. but it certainly helped) This was two years ago. My youngest son took their math prep for middle school, and he and I found it very helpful. It re-​enforced skills lost in the summer brain drain and gave him confidence going into the 6^th grade. In addition, Marci and Rachel are great and were more than willing to work closely with me to see that my children got the support they needed.

HORRIBLE! Their sole objective is for your child to do horribly several times so that they maximize their profit.
Good luck achieving a better score.
