Heather Forgione tutored our son Joshua in preparation for the Reading SAT in 2012. Due to time constraints, we had requested fewer (but extended) sessions and Heather was very accommodating and kept the sessions lively and interesting to keep his focus over longer periods of time. She is very knowledgeable and proficient in all the English skills required for the tests and is an excellent teacher with the ability to change and adapt her methods to suit the child’s needs. We also appreciated that fact that she took the time and effort to give us an accurate and honest opinion of his progress. She also provided general test tips and a “Checklist” for Joshua before his test that helped tremendously. As a result of her coaching sessions he scored 740 on the Critical Reading. Thanks to her, not only has Joshua’s self-confidence improved but he has also improved his chances of getting into a college of his choice. We certainly recommend her as a tutor.

Heather Forgione worked with our daughter, Emily, in 2011 in preparation for ACT testing. Emily is dyslexic and therefore finds standardized tests very challenging. Heather’s knowledge of both the SAT and ACT tests and scoring systems was very valuable in helping Emily get accommodations for both tests and then decide which test would be best for her. Not only did Heather work with Emily on the usual test taking strategies and practice exams but she worked hard to understand Emily’s strengths and weaknesses and adapted her tutoring to Emily’s specific needs and accommodations. Heather’s support contributed to Emily’s confidence in taking the exam which resulted in a strong score and Emily has been accepted to the University and Program that was her first choice. We would recommend Heather not just for her general program but for her patience, flexibility, and genuine concern for the individual student.
