After our son worked with a tutor from summit, he was as able to raise his SAT score by 200 points. We were hoping for 100 honestly, so as you can imagine, we are thrilled with these results in 10 hours of tutoring. ☺️

Going into ACT prep I was apprehensive. My score was not where I had hoped it would be and I considered myself to be a bad test taker. However, during my first few sessions with Ryan, my concerns were met with reassurance that I was fully capable of attaining my goal score. Although I didn’t fully believe him at first, I started to see results after just a few short months, ultimately earning the score I had hoped for. Beyond ACT prep, Ryan has helped me with both college counseling and AP Exams. I would absolutely recommend him as a great tutor and someone who you can actually look forward to sessions with. I can confidently say that Ryan upheld all promises within the process and got me where I needed to be.

When I opened my son’s ACT account this morning I was super thrilled to see 36 score. I could not be more grateful to David. My son praised David as extraordinary person and very efficient coach when they were at online sessions. David helped to turn his vision and a bit of mentality around and fine tune him for the exam in a set of private sessions. They did a lot of practice exams and walked through details. My son came to David with his 34/33 ACT after his first try in September. David made it happened to 36 in a pretty short period of time but very intensive. Before the first ACT try, we used a very well known prep company - it did not help much from where my son was by himself before that and after that set of private lessons. David made it possible to understand and practice, and superstore it! If anyone would ever ask me what to do with ACT/SAT - I would not hesitate a minute but to refer 200% to work with this company and David! Thank you Tiffany and our account manager!

Ryan is certainly up there in my list of most interesting people I have ever met. Although he certainly has some quirks (he somehow figured out my favorite snack and drink very shortly after meeting me), I couldnt have asked for a better ACT tutor. He is extremely knowledgeable and helpful and was able to help me improve my score by 8 points. I really enjoyed tutoring with Ryan and although I dont particularly miss the ACT itself, I do miss our tutoring sessions!

Ryan, our daughters tutor, went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did he significantly raise our daughters ACT score, but she actually looked forward to her weekly sessions with him. He both taught her the material and tricks to taking the test and, just as important, counselled her through an incredibly stressful process, calming her down and making it a much more enjoyable experience. Because of Ryans tutoring and effort, my daughter earned a stellar test score!! Thank you, Ryan!

Summit Prep is amazing. They are highly-skilled, caring and professional. Ryan was so easy to work with, was very flexible with scheduling and, most importantly, set our child at ease and helped her reach her target score on the SAT. We will absolutely be back with our second kid!

My son worked with Victor on his SAT prep and we could not be happier. Victor was able to identify his strengths and weaknesses and develop a strategy to help him improve his scores in all areas. Victor is also relatable and very knowledgeable about all aspects of the college recruiting process. My son was able to surpass his test goal and is now ready for the admissions process at his target schools. I would highly recommend both Victor and Summit Prep.

I cannot thank David enough for all the work that he and his team put into setting me up for success and helping me achieve my dream ACT score. He truly understood me as a person and tailored his tutoring to my learning style. Whenever I felt discouraged, David motivated me, which allowed me to reach my full potential. I ended up with a score increase of 10 points. Thank you so much, David and Summit Prep!

I did SAT and ACT tutoring with Meredith Wunderlich. She came highly recommended from many people. She was very professional and she communicated well with my parents. She helped me improve my scores and helped me achieve my goals. She is very passionate about teaching her students and she truly wanted me to succeed from the very beginning. I highly recommend working with Meredith, she has a very positive personality.

I used Ryan from Summit Prep to help with my SAT prep. Ryan was a very personable and genial tutor which relieved stress and made reviewing much less dreadful. Additionally, it’s important to note that my score improved 200 points from my PSAT. Very satisfied!

When I took my first mock ACT test, I was nowhere near the score I hoped for. However, after working with David for only a few months, my score went up significantly! David was an amazing tutor, and I would recommend him to anyone. He truly worked to understand my learning style and taught me accordingly. I looked forward to every session with David because not only did he teach me so much, but we became great friends too! I owe my ACT score to David and Summit Prep and everything they did for me.-Sophia

Our daughter started with Summit Prep in the Winter of 2020...just before Covid. David and Eva were incredible tutors & mentors. When Covid made in-person meetings impossible, they seamlessly pivoted to Zoom meetings.My daughter had a goal in mind for her score and they worked with her to achieve it...and she did!When she wanted to give up, they gave us every good reason to stay in it and their advice paid off.I cannot recommend them enough. They are worth every penny...and they are great people, too!

They helped my jump up 5 points on my ACT score. Very helpful overall and I learned a lot. They understood my needs and taught me in ways that were very easy for me to follow. I would highly recommend Summit Prep as a test prep tutor to anyone looking to improve their scores.

Marci was absolutely fantastic! She was the perfect advisor and friend throughout the entire process. Available for any and all guidance, Marci is one of a kind in her ability to navigate the stresses that come along with any college application experience. If I had to go through it again, I couldnt do it without her :)

Meredith Wunderlich of Summit Prep worked with my son his junior year preparing for the ACTs. She had to do a combination of in person and virtual, which was not easy. But she worked extremely hard to prepare him for each session and make sure he got the most out of it. Meredith worked with my son and helped him improve not only areas he needed help, but his strengths as well, bringing up his total ACT score several points. Id definitely recommend Meredith & Summit Prep.

I had the best experience at Summit Prep! Marci made my college experience much less scary and I felt supported throughout the entire ordeal. I dont think I would have been as successful in finding the school for me without her. I also couldnt have succeeded on the ACT without Pauline. Im so thankful for Summit Prep.

I have been tutoring at Summit Prep since March, and I am so grateful that I decided to. I originally was working on the SAT on my own and wasn’t really making any progress. I started tutoring with David and he switched me over to the ACT and improved my score GREATLY. I have also tutored with Eva and Keith who are amazing as well. Not only are they great mentors academically, but they are fantastic people. They go beyond just helping me with this standardized test and have guided me with personal things, like college work. Summit Prep is filled with experts, and it’s the best tutoring I’ve received. If you don’t invest in their work, it’s a huge loss. I am extremely thankful for all Summit Prep has helped me achieve.

My daughter had a very positive experience working with David Blobaum. He helped her set a goal and reach it! He is very methodical and thorough and really knows the material. He is also a great resource for all things standardize tests! He always makes himself available to answer questions and offer guidance.

David and team are professional and dedicated. When you hire a guide to help you reach that important goal, it is a true comfort to know that David has the strategical expertise, experience and technical know-how to help you get there (or beyond). The expense is worthwhile because you can rest assured that you are in good hands!

Victor of Summit Prep did a great job tutoring my daughter for her ACT. My daughter’s ACT score improved 6 points due to Victor’s patient approach.

I had an incredible experience at Summit Prep. They helped my confidence as well as my preparation, while making me feel welcome with their warm smiles. Even when I had a general question at home, I could count on my tutors helping me. To David and Victor: thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for me; I would certainly not be where I am today if it wasn’t for both of you. You have my highest recommendation.

I used David and the Summit team for my oldest child’s ACT, and based off of her success, I did not hesitate to trust him and his team again with my high school seniors SAT. David and the team are truly amazing and my son would not have reached his target score without them - especially due to COVID limiting the number of times my son could take the test. David was flexible, persistent, and on-the-ball. After knowing David for a few years, his kindness, generosity, and talent for helping students succeed are qualities him and his team all share, and for that, my children and I will always be grateful.

Eva is not only one of the best tutors out there, but shes an amazing person. Shes welcoming, heartwarming, kind, energetic, and fun. I looked forward to every class I had with her. Eva made it feel like I wasnt working during the session, and we were j chillin for an hour. My 12 point score increase, however, reminded me how hard we worked. Everyone at Summit Prep is so welcoming and kind; great experience overall!

Our son worked with the tutors at Summit Prep this summer. He went from an opening practice test score of 30 to achieving a 35 on his first ACT test! We are thrilled with the incredible help and guidance of David Blobaum and his team at Summit Prep! We give them the highest marks on all scales and recommend them to all of our friends and family!

Ryan was an amazing tutor who was able to relate to my daughter during ACT prep so she enjoyed going. The individualized tutoring was very effective at honing into her weaknesses and boosting those areas. She took the test once and achieved her target score of 35. One thing to keep in mind, because he is so in demand, you may need to be flexible with scheduling.

My daughter has been working with Woody and Summit Prep to help increase her ACT scores. We had a few other tutors at Summit Prep and a connection between the tutor and student is extremely important. After a few trials, we’ve found that in Woody!Woody has been an incredible tutor. He is nurturing, encouraging, patient and kind. He has gotten to know my daughter on a personal level which has dramatically helped what can be a tedious and overwhelming process. He has also gone above and beyond with ME, answering any concerns and questions I’ve had. He’s been responsive and just generally wonderful to work with. Woody seems to truly care and understand my daughter. He has gone way beyond what I think a traditional tutor would do to ensure my daughter meets her (and my) goals.After just a few months of tutoring, my daughter’s scores jumped up dramatically. This is due to Woody’s understanding of how my daughter learns, how to motivate her and more importantly, how to build her confidence. She is well on her way to achieving and possibly even smashing her goal. This is thanks to Woody!

My experience with Summit Prep was positive, stress-free, and very rewarding. As a senior in high school, my tutor, Victor Masch, helped me improve my Math II Subject Test by more than 200 points. In addition, being able to do the tutoring sessions over Skype was perfect because it is often hard to find time for tutoring in a busy schedule. I would highly recommend Summit Prep to anyone looking to improve their scores on standardized tests!

Summit Prep has helped me beyond words. From junior year ACT prep with David Blobaum and Ryan Orlando, to working on statistics with Victor Masch as a sophomore in college, I have never been let down. I have gained so much knowledge from Summit Prep that I certainly would not have obtained elsewhere. Absolutely unbelievable place and absolutely unbelievable people.

Cant say enough about my kids experience with David and Eva. In addition to being great tutors who *really* know their stuff, they are great advocates of kids and provide them with improved morale and confidence. The results were beyond our expectations, with our childrens ACT scores improving from 27 and 30 to 35 and 36 respectively over the course of just 3 months.

Summit Prep was very helpful in navigating the landscape of SAT/ACT as well as subject testing. We received thoughtful, disciplined content guidance with several enthusiastic tutors. More importantly, the competent test gurus administered just the right amount of confidence-boosting pep-talks and mind games to ensure spectacular test outcomes. We really felt like they knew our child and his needs. At the end, our child achieved exactly the scores we hoped for!!! Highly recommend this team and encourage starting the tutoring early.

My daughter had an excellent experience working with Ryan at Summit Prep to prepare for the ACT. Not only is he an excellent tutor who helped her attain her “goal score”, but he was insightful and supportive throughout the process. If we needed to make an appointment change, he always made every effort to be accommodating, even with his packed schedule.I feel very confident that they know what they are doing at Summit Prep, and we cannot recommend them highly enough.

I was so happy to finally find Eva at Summit Prep to provide ACT tutoring for my daughter after having tried several other tutoring businesses. Unlike other tutors, Eva was able to motivate my daughter to learn and study the materials as well as build her confidence and testing skills, all of which resulted in higher scores. The investment in Summit Prep also paid off for my daughter in terms of merit scholarship awards and honors college opportunities! Thank you Eva and Summit Prep!

David and Summit Prep are professional, enthusiastic, encouraging and most importantly successful in helping our son achieve his goals. At our first meeting David was very clear as to the results we could expect, and what would be required of my son. We felt informed at all times and our son felt motivated to work. We would strongly recommend using David and his team and want to convey our thanks for all of their help!

They are easy to work with and extremely flexible on scheduling. Im very pleased with the results.

We were very impressed with Summit prep. The environment very relaxing allowing the student to learn in a healthy environment. My daughter tutor Ms. Jonence Layne was amazing. My daughter laughed and giggled during her lesson as she was having the best time of her life. This also translated to an excellent performance on her ISEE. She started with math around 50% and she ended scoring on the test top grade. I will definitely recommend Summit prep and will be using it for future test prep for both of our children

My son is 16 and a sophomore, and we wanted to get him SAT/ACT prep and some Alegebra 2 tutoring. When I called Summit Prep, Mr. Paul Garavente was recommended to us because he has a good sense of humor, he could relate well to his students, and he is an excellent tutor. He sounded perfect! My son is not a fan of tutoring...but from the first meeting with Mr. G, he liked him and actually seemed to enjoy his sessions. Before long, he was getting As. He always claimed to “hate” math, and now I believe he actually likes it. I have no doubt that we have Mr. G to thank for my son’s new “math attitude” and success!

Our boys had a very positive experience with Summit Prep. David and his team of specialty tutors helped both our boys (high school graduation years 2017 and 2019) prepare for the ACT and on occasion tutor for AP class work/exams. One son improved his ACT composite score by 3 points and the other by 5 points over their projected score from pre-testing. Beyond the success metrics, the team was very flexible and supportive during a challenging time for our boys (both had concussions in their junior year) and were able to instill the patience and confidence that they would succeed. Our oldest is now at the Carroll School of Management at Boston College and our youngest is committed to play lacrosse at Wesleyan University.

We highly recommend Summit Prep for tutoring your child. Not only did our daughter exceed the goal score she set for her ACT test, she also learned invaluable learning techniques that she will carry with her through her college career.The entire staff was always courteous, helpful, and responsive to our questions/needs. Their experience and knowledge regarding preparation for college tests (and all tutoring needs) is indispensable for any student....no matter what their level.While we recognize the diligent efforts put forth by our daughter, we attribute the rise of six points on her ACT score to Summit Prep. Thank you!

Eva Addae, is one of the sweetest and BEST ACT/SAT and Subject Test Tutors at Summit Prep and in the area. Summit Prep was just one of many tutoring companies I was evaluating for my daughters ACT/SAT tutoring needs. Eva and I spoke extensively about both Summit Preps and her philosophy on getting students ready for the ACT/SAT. Our initial consultation was an in-depth conversation about what my daughter needed and how we would achieve those results. My daughters first session with Eva was both enlightening and a pleasure. My daughter thrived under her tutelage. She looked forward to being Tutored every week by Eva. Personally we LOVE Eva Addae as a Tutor and the results my daughter was able to achieve through her tutoringAt Summit Prep each childs tutoring is tailored specifically to their needs, based on their strengths and weaknesses. Customized tutoring is what makes Summit Prep stand out from all the rest. Summit Prep tutors for ACT/SAT, Subject Test, AP Test, College Essays, Applications, etc. They make the whole college process manageable.

Summit Prep, started by owner David Blobaum, offers excellent tutors and flexible scheduling. My son, a student at Dartmouth, increased his SAT scores significantly following Davids guidelines.

Summit Prep is an amazing service. David Blobaum helped me on cold, stressful school nights in New Jersey winters to learn reading comprehension, math, and writing. All that training paid off, and on the test days, I was relaxed and prepared. I achieved two single-test scores of 2240, and a 2340 super-score (the ones colleges actually take). I got into my dream school and six more of the eight schools to which I applied. Im at my dream school now. While I worked hard in other areas, I couldnt have gotten the impressive scores that granted me my dream without David and Summit Preps help.

My twin boys are doing extremely well preparing for the ACTs with David Blobaum and Summit Prep. They both jumped 5 points from their baseline on an Actual ACT in only 2 months!

We were referred to Summit Prep by a friend and have been extremely happy with our sons ACT results. Our initial meeting with David Blobaum was very informative and realistic about goals and what amount of work would be required for our son to reach his goals.

Additionally the Skype sessions were very convenient for our busy student. Thank you David for all of your help during this process!
