David took the ACT and SAT each only once after his tutoring, and he was accepted to Harvard. We'd love your very best tutor for our youngest now.

A belated thank you to Liz for a semester of math tutoring. She essentially taught all of Algebra Honors II. My child received an A in the class and scored in the 99th percentile of the PSAT. We could not have done it without your kindness and teaching skills!

I've worked with Victor for over a year and I'm beyond satisfied with his expertise. He explains very thoroughly, and in a way that sticks! All A's on tests I study with him for. Highly recommended for subject tutoring and SAT/ACT prep.

We've used High Performance for two years. Victor helped my son with Chemistry — his grade went from a D to a B+, and he ended up liking the class. They've also tutored him in Algebra and for the ACT. They genuinely enjoy working with the kids, and the kids enjoy working with them!

Calling High Performance Tutoring was one of our best decisions after treading water with other options for our daughter's ACT. My daughter jumped 6 points on the ACT and felt great about her improvement. We'd highly recommend them for a motivated student eager to improve!

I took their ACT prep course and they helped me raise my score from a 26 to a 33! They knew exactly what I needed to practice and my tutor was outstanding. When I saw my score I was nearly in tears. I'm confident the change will be the difference between acceptance and rejection at my top-choice college.

A Parent's Question

“Is PSAT prep really worth it?”

For a motivated student, absolutely. A strong PSAT (junior year) can qualify for National Merit — and the skills transfer straight to the SAT. Starting early means less cramming later. Your first hour is free, so it's easy to try.
