I am forever grateful to being referred to Julia Ross and PT Tutoring, LLC by several parents! They truly stream lined the SAT and ACT test prep and college application process like no other! They removed us as parents from the nagging process to get our child to complete the college applications and essays in a timely manner. Julia Ross’ expertise helped our son widen his college search and sparked his interest in schools he did not even know where options to him! They gave our child the inside strategies and tips that helped him stand out in his college applications, resumé and interviews; so much so that an admission counselor stated to him that they had never seen a student so prepared for a college admissions interview. We can only attribute the interview prep to the experts at PT Tutoring! Our only regret in not meeting Julia Ross and her team during my first child’s admissions process. It is worth the investment for their test prep and college coaching programs. We are looking forward to working with her and her phenomenal team again with our other two children!

We highly recommend Julia Ross and her team at Professional Tutoring! If you are anything like me, you are currently debating about whether to invest in SAT/ACT courses for your high schooler. If you are like me, you would like some basic facts and hard numbers. This review is for you! Upon our rising senior’s cancelled summer internships and cancelled SATs in the winter and spring of junior year, we decided to make the most of the time, and promptly enrolled him in the SAT/ACT prep course with Professional Tutoring. Our student, while a very intelligent kid, is simply not a strong standardized test-taker. At the start of the course in June, his practice test proctored and scored by Professional Tutoring yielded decent enough results for a student with learning disabilities and whose 3 PSATs were fairly lackluster. At the end of the course upon the practice retake also proctored and scored by PT, his score rose 100 points, which we were very pleased with! We know that repeition is one key component of raising test scores, as well as having knowledge of test-taking strategies and learning/revewing the actual breadth of knowledge. We were absolutely delighted to see the rise in his score, as well as the rise in his confidence. When he was able to take the SAT in the fall (a month after his last class session with Julia and her team), our student was able to raise his score 200 points from the first practice exam in June! His score helped him to secure an early admission into his first-choice university, and receive a merit scholarship for the test score. His time in the course helped hone a great work ethic and prepare him for his future even while learning to deal with major focus issues (we had been working with his doctor for quite a while trying to figure this component out for him) and working with learning disabilities. This investment paid for itself in dividends, though if you are a numbers person, his merit scholarship more than paid for the cost of the course. As if all of this was not enough, Julia and her wonderful team has plenty of brain food (snacks!) At the ready for the students - what more could you want?! Communication with Julia and her team was super, preparation materials were all provided as part of the course cost (yay for convenience!), and the PT team was warm, welcoming, and professional. We already have our sophomore on the list for an upcoming class slot.

I highly recommend Julia and team. I used them for both my older daughter (very happily at University of Tennessee thanks to Julia’s help and guidance) and now for my HS Junior (SAT/ACT review and consulting). Their knowledge of the college admission process is unmatched, as is their personal attention to the needs of each student. Thank you, Julia—you and your team have made this crazy process much more manageable.
