“I… attended your College Prep seminar at Bayport Blue Point Library on Nov 2 last year. I just wanted to thank you for giving me very important information on SAT going digital next March and implications of the change.
Because of the seminar and the information you provided with us, we determined to prep for SAT in summer in order to reach the target score on paper-based SAT while it is still available…. He took his first SAT on Oct 7 and just got his score back this morning — 1550, exactly what he was aiming at.
Without your seminar, we would still be totally clue-less about looming SAT changes…. Thank you so much for your kindness for sharing your expert knowledge with us.”
Missed Dr. P.’s 2/12 talk for Syosset Public Library? No problem! Catch the replay here!
“I saw Dr. P’s lecture, College Tours: How to Make the Most Before, During, and After, being offered through the Sachem library. I immediately signed up. The presentation was well organized, factual, and gave additional FREE programs to help with the stressful college application process.
Contact Dr. P for guidance, as she certainly has the credentials with a degree from Harvard, and she offers “valuable actionable advice” to streamline the overwhelming admission process. There is NO connection between us. I am just an educator and Grandmother who spotted a GEM.”
