Real Stories,Real Successes

I scored 150 points lower than my original practice test score on the March 24, 2014 SAT, which I took as a self-taught Bluebook student. I'm in 12th grade, so I was looking for a tutor on UPGRADE who could quickly help me with my SAT weaknesses in the EC and essay. Alice was able to immediately point out the vocabulary and evidence types that I was struggling with. I studied every weekend for two months to prepare for the SAT and finished with a fantastic score of 1560 on the June test! Long live UPGRADE and Alice!

Sean's SAT class was an experience that allowed me to really identify and fix my weaknesses that I had been ignoring. He made me take notes on the wrong answers instead of just saying, "Oh, that's a mistake, let's go with the right one." He made me time and solve practice questions like they were real. I was able to achieve good results thanks to the tips and practical experience of a teacher who scored a perfect score on the SAT. If you're a self-taught student like me and you've hit a wall, try a free session and you won't regret it.

Wow, I got a 5 in just one month of preparation! AP Calculus BC was such a huge barrier for me as a struggling student and I was so confused about what I needed to study more and what problems I needed to work on for the May exam, but after meeting with Steve, I could see the flow of the questions and even predicted what was coming this year. I thought about studying at a cram school or self-studying until the end, but as an 11th grader, I felt that I needed to prepare for AP in a short period of time. I hope to graduate soon and give this kind of help to juniors like me in the future.

I felt like I was just going over the same material that I could have done on my own, and I didn't feel very efficient. I wanted a tutor with IB experience to help me revise, so I turned to UPGRADE, which has the largest number of tutors in Korea. Aidan, who is from Cambridge, was a light. He revised my answers to make them exactly to Markscheme's standards, and most importantly, he gave me living tips and strong motivation regarding UK universities. I will definitely get into your university, cheers!

Johny Kim

Yale, Senior

As a UPGRADE tutor, it's been a lot of fun to watch my student grow! I was proud to see his SAT score improve by 70 points from the very next test after I gave him a type diagnosis based on his Vocab TEST results and communicated Khan Academy's preferred points to him.

Steve

Stanford, Senior

I was able to teach the student in a more organized way than if I were tutoring alone because I could focus on the curriculum and the system. I gave detailed lesson feedback every time, explaining how to solve the wrong answers and the points to keep in mind, and the student enjoyed studying and his grades improved immediately!
