What Our Clients and Students Say About Us

Darlene Palmer
Darlene Palmer
Marc and his team at Grade Success really helped to prepare my daughter for the ACT. She took their ACT prep course and scored well the first time she took the ACT. She got a very low score on the grammar section so we then did a few private online English sessions with Marc to prepare for her second ACT exam. It really helped!! Her score went up 6 points in grammar and 2 points overall! Marc is also great at providing guidance as to which exam (ACT/SAT) is the best fit for your child and when and how many times to take the them. I highly recommend Marc and his team!

Grade Success helped me improve my SAT/ACT scores a little over 4 years ago, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the organized, detailed, and dedicated experience I received. What’s special about Grade Success is that I was not only prepared for my exams, but I was able to take everything I learned from Marc and apply it in college. Speaking of college, I strongly believe that had it not been for Marc/Grade Success, I wouldn’t have been able to score over a 2000 on the SAT and receive a presidential half tuition scholarship from Bentley University, so for that, thank you.

I would recommend Grade Success to anyone looking to further develop themselves and improve their exam scores.

improve their (his/her) score on a standardized test. I worked with multiple tutors during my preparation for the ACT exam, and the strategies provided and commitment to success that the tutors demonstrated was exceptional. Marc Hoberman, the owner, as well as my other instructors, always exceeded my expectations and ultimately helped me perform on test day, in addition to throwing in a bit of fun here and there. I'd highly recommend GradeSuccess any day.

Grade Success has helped both of my children tremendously! My oldest son was well prepared for both his SAT & ACT. He always comments on how easily Marc and his tutors were able to pinpoint his weeknesses and immediately enhance his skill set. My younger son loves how Grade Success enhances his understanding of algebra. Grade Success works on a unique platform where the kids respond well to their tutors and they are actually eager to complete assigned tasks.
My older son was especially excited to share his SAT & ACT results with his tutors! Another huge bonus is their ability to work the tutoring/prep sessions around your child’s schedule!

Marc & his Team are Fantastic. We had used Marc for my older son & for my younger son. Both of them loved the tutoring Live online. I really am so that happy that Grade Success was recommended to us . I know for a fact it helped both son's improve their grades on the SAT & ACT. Can't thank you enough.

I am a past client of Grade Success, what an amazing service they provide. Super personalized to my type of learning and extremely patient. I boosted my SAT by hundreds and my ACT by 8!!! Worth every penny, I strongly recommend that if you are looking for any standardized testing assistance or tutoring that you reach out to them. I also highly suggest you ask about speed reading, as it was extremely helpful to me. A few of my friends have gone here as well from my referral, only had nice things to say. Very professional and they understand what needs to be done to accomplish strong results.

As parents my wife and I can't begin to tell Marc how much he helped our son reach his test score potential. Marc's expertise greatly enhanced my son's ACT test taking abilities. We were trying to find a degree program that would accept low reading and English scores to go with his good Math scores. His first ACT reading score was a 17, Marc helped him to understand how to take the exam and with test prep, the second test he scored a 21, nice improvement. Marc spent a few more weeks leading up to the next exam (not sure what they reviewed) but his last exam in November he pulled a 27. Problem solved he was accepted to every college he applied to and now is receiving Merit scholarships.

We are very happy with our results from working with Marc Hoberman and Grade Success Education. SAT/ACT test preparation is an important and necessary part of the college application process. Marc is very knowledgeable, honest, and experienced tutoring students. Overall, he is a great resource. There is no question that working with Marc made the process less stressful and more successful. We will plan to use Marc again for a third time when our youngest is ready.

Grade Success was instrumental in assisting both my son and my daughter. Marc has a great way of connecting with students. He takes the time to understand each students' individual strengths. He then teaches them how to leverage those strengths and provides them with tools to navigate through their development areas. I highly recommend Grade Success!

Talk about Grade Success! My son had some difficulty with his initial PSAT. He'd even had and a hard time finishing the test. Then I heard from a friend about Marc's Grade Success program. My son did both the speed reading and the ACT prep course. We just got his ACT scores, and he scored high enough to qualify for most ivy league schools. A parent couldn't ask for more success than that!

I took the ACT in December 2015 cold, with no prep and scored a decent 27. After 6 sessions with Marc (English) and 6 with Tom (Math) I retook the ACT in June and scored an incredible 32! I realize that kind of improvement is not the norm and your individual results may vary. But they really worked for me.
They are professional, excellent to work with, it is done via their own white board from any computer and they make the learning fun.
I highly recommend Grade Success to anyone looking to prep for the ACT or SAT.

As parents of a student that struggled with science we can say that we are thrilled with Grade Success. The owner/director Marc carefully listened to our son's needs. He spoke to us and our son. He matched our son with an experienced tutor, Brian, who turned out to be just the right person. Our son finished the school year successfully in class and on exams.
We highly recommend Grade Success to anyone who doesn't want to deal with the impersonal, cookie cutter companies. Marc and Co. provide a bespoke experience.

Grade Success is an excellent resource for students who would like to prepare themselves for the SAT/ACT exams. Marc and his staff, along with their substantial source of knowledge are very welcoming, allowing their students to relax and feel at ease, preparing for exams that are strenuous.

I was recently tutored by Marc Hoberman and his Grade Success team for both my first SAT and ACT exams.
The tutoring was incredible, put simply! Every lesson I learned information that not only benefitted me for my exams, but for my general academic studies and overall writing skills. I initially struggled in English as I am a more math-based student, but after Mr. Hoberman’s teaching I was actually able to match my math portion on the SAT (740 english 740 math) and improve my english more than my math on the ACT (33 math, 35 english, 35 grammar)!
This is especially remarkable considering my original practice scores for these subjects were in the high 1200’s for my SAT, and was a 28 for the ACT.
Even further, the sessions were enjoyable and simple because the tutors are patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable people. I would recommend this team for anyone seeking to impress their dream Universities with fantastic test scores, and to anyone who struggles with test taking.
Thank you for everything, and I am very happy with my results!

This year makes 3 years of our family’s experience with Grade Success!! The tutors are top notch, truly, and communicate effectively and in a timely manner! While our initial plan was for enrichment, it proved to be a life saver when we all had to pivot to remote learning due to COVID! My kids love working with their tutors and I can comfortably say we all have a fantastic working relationship. I’ve referred friends without reservation, and they've had a great experience also. Thank you Marc for providing such an outstanding service!

Marc and his team helped our oldest son tremendously. His score increased from his Practice ACT 6 points! Additionally, Marc's hours were very accomodating and he was always accessible. Marc has a wealth of information regarding the entire college process. We definitely recommend him and plan to return with our 2 younger children.

Grade Success was instrumental in helping refine and hone our son's college essay. Marc provided poignant feedback that helped guide our student toward his well received essay. He is a pleasure to work with, accommodating, and patient. I know who my first call will be, when my second child is ready for his college essay experience.

I found overseeing my sons college essay a struggle. I was tired of the arguing, so I hired Marc and washed my hands of the situation. Best money spent! Essay is soooo good and Zack (as most kids) responded much better to anyone that’s not a parent. He worked with him via technology, so anyone, anywhere can use him. I’ve used his team members for tutoring as well. Really easy, definitely worth it!
