“The SAT preparation that I received from Maine Prep was really catered to my personal strengths and weaknesses. My tutor was very knowledgeable about the test and was able to give me all of the tools I needed to succeed. Not only did Maine Prep prepare me specifically for the SAT Reasoning Test, it gave me the test-taking skills to apply to the SAT IIs as well, on which I received two perfect scores. Maine Prep is truly a superb preparation for anyone taking the SAT, and it definitely helped me achieve the scores that qualified me for the Presidential Scholars Award. Thank you Maine Prep!” -Michael Girouard, St. Dom’s 09; Williams ’13

“I meant to tell you this a while ago, but my SAT score went from a 1730 to a 1970 after taking [Susan Thombs's Kennebunkport] class.

Clearly, it was an extremely beneficial prep class and I want to say thank you again for all of your help! I ended up receiving the Presidential Scholarship from Gettysburg College, a scholarship that is highly based on SAT scores. This was all thanks to your help! ” –Katie Lang, Kennebunk

“With the help of Maine Prep my son achieved nearly perfect scores on his SATs. The very strategic approach Maine Prep utilizes is the critical difference. Instead of endlessly memorizing vocabulary words they teach kids how to ‘work’ the test. The approach is time efficient and effective. Instead of being psyched out and nervous about the test, the kids really understand the test and almost view it as a game to be mastered. My son would never have achieved these results without this incredibly helpful approach.” Randi Bollenbach, mother of Will Bollenbach, Cape Elizabeth HS ’11; Dartmouth ’15

“I am delighted to inform you that I got into Middlebury early decision! Thank you so much for everything you did for me as I’m sure I would not have been considerd, let along admitted, without your help.” Hannah Orcutt, Waynflete School ’07; Middlebury College ’11

“My name is Max Reiter and I’m a senior at George Stevens Academy in Blue Hill, Maine. Last year I studied privately in Bangor with Frank Hubbard of Maine Prep, covering everything from essay help to sentence corrections to time management. The techniques I learned were things I had never even heard of before and were vastly different from those of the SAT study guide books. This preparation through Maine Prep produced great results; my scores went from a 1900 (on the pre-test) to a final cumulative total of 2230 (with the biggest differences coming in critical reading, a 150 point difference, and writing, a 140 point difference). In addition, I took this course around the time that I took the PSATs and my preparation from this course led me to be named a National Merit Scholar (which has in turn led to many scholarship opportunities). Further, Frank and the other people we worked with were as nice as can be and extremely supportive. As a result of this course, I was recently accepted to the University of Pennsylvania. My family and I strongly endorse Maine Prep and its techniques!”

“I would like to thank Maine Prep. The Maine Prep course set me up for success on the SAT by introducing me to the mindset necessary to do well. Going into the test I felt confident, yet never cocky. The course also familiarized me with the various types of questions on the test and how to solve them. Both of these factors resulted in a pleasing score.”  Jack Queeney, Cape Elizabeth HS ’11; MIT ’15

“Academic achievement is one thing but taking the SAT’s is quite another. My son expected to do fairly well on the tests but never imagined individual scores in the 700 range! Although he was reluctant at first to take an SAT prep course, his Maine Prep tutor, Kathryn Toppan, was an excellent teacher who knew exactly how to work with teenagers and quickly won him over. It didn’t take him long to realize the value of the test taking strategies being presented and how they would help him achieve his goals. He’s now enrolled in the Tisch School at NYU and is extremely happy! I’ll definitely be sending my next two sons to Maine Prep!” –Belinda Osier

“This year, for the first time, I feel like I actually know what is going on in my math class because I now have some basics down that I didn’t have before I came to Maine Prep.” Becky Schaeffer, Yarmouth H.S. ’06; McGill University ’10
