Dalby Tutoring and Test Preparation

I am currently a rising senior at TJHSST. Having taken SAT Prep classes from Princeton Review, Dr. Li, I can confidently say that Dalby Tutoring provides the highest quality test prep program out there. SAT practice tests are taken outside of class time, which allows th...e classes to be devoted to going over mistakes, weaknesses, test taking strategies, and questions. Both Mr. and Mrs. Dalby are passionate teachers. While Princeton Review and other companies offer generic, often overly priced classes that don't necessarily focus on the student, Mr. and Mrs. Dalby teach to their students' weaknesses, resulting in visible improvement after each class. But as a TJ student, no argument is complete without some solid facts and numbers. Before I started SAT test prep, I was scoring a 1950 (700 M, 650 CR, 600 W). When I took the SAT back in January after some classes with Dalby, I scored 2390 (800 M, 790 CR, 800 W). I also improved my PSAT from 196 to 225. Read More

Wonderful

I took Dalby SAT prep classes last summer, and I'm very happy I did so. Mrs. Dalby knew each of her students' strengths and weaknesses well and was able to give each of them personalized help in order to succeed. When I started off I was scoring mid 600's on each sectio...n, and my essay was in serious need of help. After taking the class I scored a 2090 on the SAT, which was better than my original practice score. Still, I wanted to be able to improve even more, so I emailed Mrs. Dalby to ask her if she had any extra tips. She reached out to me right away and said she would happy to meet up with me at her office, free of charge, to see what we could do. She looked at all my past scores, told me she thought I was capable of more, and said that at this point she thought it would be best to do a practice section every night before the test. Overall she told me not to stress and gave me multiple tips that helped me tremendously. Two weeks later I took the test again and scored a 2300 with an 800 on math, 800 on reading, and 700 on writing. I'm so grateful for all her help and I would strongly recommend Dalby Tutoring to anyone. Read More

When my son came home after the first tutoring session with “Dalby Tutoring” was extremely enthusiastic and told us that he learned in an hour here more than he learned in 3 months with the Fairfax TJ tutoring program! My son told me that “Dalby Tutor...ing” has exceptional teachers with a great talent in helping students fully understand the study materials and develop a passion for math. “Dalby Tutoring” not only that help students to increase their score in math, but it helps them build self confidence and a passion for studying math. I highly recommend their tutoring classes and I intend to continue to bring my son here. Read More
