“Laura was a excellent tutor. She really helped me improve my score as well as my confidence level. She always had good feedback and was engaging. I could tell she really cared about helping me. Thank you so much for everything!”

“Laura is absolutely wonderful”

“Laura somehow managed to make a connection with both of my children, even though my kids are as different as night and day. She was very professional and extremely knowledgeable, and she achieved a perfect balance between serious tutor and friendly, personable human being. I always felt that my kids were in good hands, and their SAT scores proved it. Even her wisdom regarding scheduling of the various tests, which was contrary to the advice of my daughter’s high school counselor, turned out to be exactly right, as it enabled her to gain acceptance to Harvard before many of her classmates had even submitted their first college applications. I recommend Laura Demko with all my heart.”

“You truly have a gift for teaching, engaging, and being very perceptive and intuitive according to your students’ needs. You love what you do, and you are fulfilled when you see your students excel. It is evident that you really care about your students. Your efforts and passion for teaching will have a positive impact in my boys’ lives for the remainder of their high school career, in their college endeavors, and the future that awaits them. I cannot thank you enough.”

“Laura is amazing and had a unique ability to connect with our son. Her process of identifying areas requiring additional focus was crucial and paid off in his standardized testing results for college admission. Laura was able to give our son, Matt, the confidence he needed along with the knowledge and strategy of not only what material to study but a methodology of how to best navigate the testing process. This combined approach allowed our son Matt to achieve test scores that let him attend his #1 school. Thank you to Laura!”

“Laura was my older daughter’s SAT tutor and is currently tutoring my younger daughter. She was referred to us by a parent whose son scored high enough on the SAT to be accepted to both Harvard and Yale. Nicole is a very bright girl. She scored 2000 on the SAT without any tutoring, but with Ms. Demko’s help she was able to raise her score to 2300. Ms. Demko is an excellent tutor - kind and gentle, methodical in teaching, and is in tune with the students’ needs. She excels in relieving her student’s anxieties and is well prepared to answer questions.”

“Laura provided SAT tutoring for our daughter. Laura, by far, is the best teacher/educator that we have seen. She is patient and has an uncanny ability to determine the best approach/strategy that a particular student should employ when attempting to answer math, reading, and verbal questions. Laura brings out confidence in her students, but does not give them false hope. She helps them organize and then focus on those areas where they are most deficient. We would give our highest recommendation to Laura Demko as an SAT tutor.”

“Nick was extremely resistant when you were first tutoring him; however, through his time spent with you during tutoring sessions, he has gained such pride in his accomplishments. He feels proud of his SAT scores and even wants to strive to get a better score. Most importantly what he gained with you, and his resulting improvement on the SAT, was the confidence he needed in his life to know he has the potential to do well in anything if he puts the effort into it.”
