Finley has been helping my daughter prepare for the ACT. My daughter had a fair amount of test anxiety and struggles with math. Finley has been patient and creative in her approach. I appreciate the different strategies she has employed as she helped my daughter. She is an excellent tutor. Highly recommended.

Finley helped in prepping for the reading and language portions of the SAT. She provided outstanding insight in not only the substantive aspects of the subject, but the strategic considerations of test taking. I highly recommend her.

Helped my shy son brush up on public speaking and performance skills for some upcoming school events. Gave him a lot of confidence knowing that he was prepared. Finley covered issues I didn't even think to request. Both my son and I felt it was extremely helpful and he enjoyed working with Finley.

Finley demonstrated the right listening, acknowledging and reasoning skills to ease my daughter into tutoring. My daughter has been fighting her father and me on having a tutor for months. Finley was able to diffuse the situation on the first visit. Each tutoring session since has been very productive.

Finley is being very helpful and helped me find out if ACT or SAT are more beneficial for me. She's very nice, patient and wise. She explains things clearly and is interesting. She had helped lot of students who speaks second language well too.

I needed help with the MTEL reading and writing test. Finley was very flexible and took the time to gauge my background in the subject matter. She thoughtfully explained the most helpful strategies in answering multiple choice question in the reading competency exam. I hope to book another appointment with her soon to further our study.

Finley is very patient and considerate of the child's needs. She is very knowledgeable of the ins & outs of the SAT/ACT & college prep.
- Hourig S. from Watertown, MA
Helpful, patient, and extremely knowledgeable with both ACT and new SAT. She really cares about students- I would definitely recommend Finley to anyone struggling in any areas of standardized testing.
- Valerie L. from Weston, MA
During my first tutoring session, Finley taught me how to write better thesis sentences for writing. Her teaching style is easy to follow and she really takes the time to understand what you need more improvement on. She helped me find better ways to explain my ideas on paper. These tools will especially be useful for in-class essays. I recommend her for students who are not only struggling with writing long essays but also for those who would like to write better.
- Paul H. from Newtonville, MA
We really like Finley's approach to tutoring for the SAT's. She gives our kids a great balance between studying the subject matter and studying how to take the exam. I would really recommend Finley if you have middle school/high school students that are motivated to do their best on the tests.
- Jeffrey F. from Newton Highlands, MA
Finley has really helped me improve my Critical Reading Score, teaching me strategies for the vocab and passage sections that are efficient for the limited time to take the test. She is also helpful with math, explaining each problem with detail, helping me understand.
