I highly recommend the SAT Prep classes. My daughter saw a dramatic increase in her score after attending the SAT program. The staff is truly invested in seeing your student meet their goals.

EDS and it’s staff are incredible. So much effort goes into finding the right tutor for your child’s learning style. Both of my children have benefited to the services provided at EDS for over 10 years!

If I could give ZERO stars, I would. Just got off the phone with the owner and I never have I been so insulted.You are expected to shell out $75 an hour for a weekly session or more if they deem it necessary but don't ask any questions about the process or the methods used. After 10 minutes on the phone of calling ME, she tells me that she has to get off the phone and that I am only to call back when I am ready for tutoring. Mind you, it is her schedule that is full. So glad that I found out her attitude prior to giving her my business.

Nancy made all the difference in my daughter’s ACT scores- strategies she never considered until Nancy intervened. Looking to boost your SAT/ACT scores she is the one and only!!

We were very impressed with EDS! Our son completed an SAT review course through a larger organization and did well on his SAT but we wanted to see if he could improve his score a little more. EDS was recommended to us and after only a few tutoring sessions, our son retook the SAT and greatly improved his score. We really liked the one on one tutoring that was specific to my son's needs.
