Our Testimonials

Paul was introduced to us by a personal friend in the area. My son attended Paul's SAT class in early 2018 followed by one-on-one tutoring this past summer to help prepare him for the SAT exam. Although I have always been skeptical of using SAT prep classes due to mixed reviews from various sources, I wanted my son to have the most experienced instructor to enhance his knowledge and prepare him. In hind sight, using Paul was an excellent decision that has already reaped priceless benefits considering that my son improved his score by 290 points. Paul's in-depth aptitude, communication and professionalism has made a vast difference in my son's ability to comprehend the more challenging topics and material in math and verbal sections of the SAT. I have nothing but high praise for Paul and his genuine ability to help students improve their scores on placement exams. I would highly recommend Paul to anyone who has a desire to learn and prepare themselves for college. An investment now can reap priceless benefits in your child's education and career path in the future. Paul - As I have stated before, you are an inspiration and I am honored to have had the opportunity to have my son learn from a truly exceptional instructor !!! Thank you again.

Ivy Masters tutoring and approach are a step above all other SAT/ACT prep courses. Paul Pscolka just completed SAT tutoring for my son Kevin and helped him raise his SAT score by 380 points.That is almost unheard of. Paul also tutored my two other boys Patrick and Connor. They raised their scores by 270 and 280 points respectively. Patrick and Connor are both engineering students– Patrick at Virginia Tech and Connor at Florida State University. Paul is a very intelligent, reliable ,friendly, and professional. He is able to bond with his students in a way that makes them thrive.

I would HIGHLY recommend using Paul at Ivy Masters for SAT Prep. My daughter was enrolled in his group class from January to March. At first I was a little skeptical as the class was somewhat big (over 20 students), but I can assure you that no matter how large the class is, Paul gives EVERYONE the attention they deserve. My daughter was able to improve her score by 310 points, from 1130 to 1440!!! It may be hard to believe but all the strategies and the assigned homework he gives are a huge help for preparing for the SAT. It is just important to take this class seriously and open up time in your week to do the assigned homework practice tests and go over the strategies he teaches. If you are looking for a place to boost your SAT score Paul at Ivy Masters is the one!!! Thank you Paul and I will see you in 4 years when my younger daughter will be taking her SAT 🙂 and for now, I will be sending all my daughter’s friends to you for help.

I highly recommend Paul and Ivy Masters. My son took both a mock ACT and mock SAT before starting his prep classes. Paul analyzed both scores and helped to determine which would be a better fit overall. The weekly classes, at home prep work and option to take a practice test every Saturday is such a great way to keep the students engaged and encouraged. My son took a practice test 1/2 way through and then one the week before the big day. His score went up 7 points from the 1/2 way mark to the actual ACT!(he saw a 13 point increase from the initial mock test!) ONE and DONE!! Highly recommend Paul and Ivy Masters Learning Center!!

Thank you Ivy Masters Learning Center! Paul Pscolka is an amazing SAT tutor. This was a flawless experience. Paul keenly assessed exactly where Yael needed guidance. He focused on specific areas Yael wanted to improve in. There was no extraneous information. Yael reached her target score under Paul's direction. In addition, he supplied her with specific practice packets and access to a large number of practice tests. He also provided her with useful SAT tips and pointers. Paul is professional, kind, dedicated, and truly cares about his students. Thanks to Paul, Yael took the SAT one time and is done! The hourly fee may sound high but Paul is a true expert! He never charged extra for all of Yael's questions outside of her tutoring hour and he was very accessible whenever Yael reached out to him. He does not count minutes, and is clearly dedicated to the best possible learning environment for the student. Thank you Paul!

What an unbelievable experience we had with Ivy Masters! We decided to have my son take the SAT a year early to free up time for a jamm-packed junior year at HS. My son took Paul's SAT class, as well as had private tutoring with Rowan. Paul was always available to guide us in the right direction. My son felt very prepared for the SAT. With lots of hard work, dedication, and help from Paul and Rowan, he succeeded in raising his score by 350 points! Job well done! Thank you, Ivy Masters!

I just want to share with everyone how wonderful Paul has been, both as a tutor and a mentor to my son. The process of applying to college and all that goes with it can be an extremely stressful time in a teenager's life. I am so thankful that we found Paul to take on this role. My son immediately developed trust and respect for Paul. With Paul’s expertise and guidance, my son scored perfect on both the math and the writing sections of the SAT. He has recently committed to Rutgers Honors College after being awarded the Presidential Scholarship. We could not have done it without Paul and we are incredibly grateful for all of his help and support.
