Mr. Dennis Schulman has been tutoring our sons in Algebra I & II this year. He has helped them a great deal in understanding the concepts and their grades have improved. Not only does he have the ability to explain the material in a meaningful way, but he also has a very good rapport with students of this age group.

I am writing this letter to recommend Dennis Schulman as a math teacher and tutor. For the past few months he has been working with my son Greg in Precalculus. I have been impressed with his ability to dissect and explain seemingly complicated theories to Greg so that together they have been able to solve problems and learn. I feel sure that Mr. Schulman would have a very positive relationship with his students. Based on his studies with Greg, I feel that he would genuinely care about his students and their successes. It has been our pleasure to work with Mr. Schulman and I can definitely recommend him as a very fine math teacher.

During the past year Dennis tutored my son in Algebra. My son Bob has average math ability. During the first quarter he received a D. At the end of the school year, with Mr. Schulman’s help, he brought the grade up to a B. I would recommend Dennis as a math tutor. It is my intention to ask him to tutor all four of my sons at a future date.
-J.W., West Sacramento

We had Mr. Dennis Schulman tutor our son at the end of the school year in Geometry. We are all convinced that he helped bring his grade point up one full point. He not only went over the week’s work with Tim, but gave him the confidence that the subject could be mastered. We plan to ask him to work with Tim again next year in Algebra II, but this time we will not wait so long.
-A.D., Citrus Heights

Dennis Schulman has been tutoring my son in Geometry for the past two months. My son’s grades have risen from D’s and F’s to B’s and B+’s . He has been very accommodating setting times for tutoring to fit my son’s busy schedule. I am very glad to have Dennis Schulman tutoring my son, but I wish we had not waited so long to hire him!
-V.F., Grass Valley, CA

This letter will attest to the competency of Dennis Schulman as a tutor. We hired Dennis to tutor our son last spring and found him to be a very helpful and conscientious and well qualified instructor. We feel our son definitely benefited from this experience and would not hesitate to request his help again.
-N.B., Sacramento

We have known Dennis for two years and, during that time, he has tutored Julie in Geometry and
Algebra II. Dennis is dependable and prompt as well as skilled in the subjects he teaches. Not only has Julie liked Dennis as a tutor, she has benefited from his help. We feel he has encouraged Julie to problem solve while building her self-confidence in the above mentioned subjects. We think it would be wonderful if other students had access to Dennis’s tutoring skills and teaching ability.

I have known Dennis Schulman since he has been tutoring my son, an 11th grade student at Rio Americano HS, in math. He has established a good working relationship with Jeffrey and has been able to encourage more effective study habits. Jeff’s grasp of fundamental concepts is improving with a resultant increase in his math scores. Dennis has proven himself to be a capable instructor who is conscientious and dependable. From the standpoint of satisfied parents, my wife and I are pleased to highly recommend Dennis for math teaching and tutoring. Our educational system needs more professionals with his qualifications and capabilities.

After speaking to a supervisor at Collegeboard yesterday, I got Jason’s results today. He did so much better than the first go around. He raised his math score from 530 to 640 and verbal from 470 to 560. That’s 200 more than before your course and tutoring. Jason is very happy. Now he says he can definitely do better on the verbal. Thanks for your help. – B.C., SAT prep, Roseville

Hello Mr. Schulman, . I took one of your classes after I took my SAT for the first time and scored a lowly 940 on math and reading. However, after taking your class I scored an 1160, up 220 points!! What is even more amazing is that although I took your class in March, my SATs were in May, almost 2 months after your classes ended. What you said in those classes stayed in my brain, which is very rare. I am certain it was your class that helped my score go up to such a great extent.. Thank you again, I hope your classes continue to stay full! have a great night.

After getting an 1860 on my PSAT, I enrolled in Schulman’s workshop to boost that number on the actual SAT. My post-Schulman SAT score was 2020, a dramatic improvement, especially in math. My math score went from a 600 to a 770. With that higher SAT score, I became a legitimate recruit for Ivy League football teams, and next year, I will be attending Yale University and playing in “The Game”.

Mr. Schulman, I wanted to let you know how pleased we were with your SAT class. Scott really benefited from your small class size and individual attention. He attends a private High School and was apprehensive about the large classes others offer. We received his scores this morning and he really increased his scores. He said it was solely due to your class and I thank you.  -C. G. SAT prep, Rhode Island

I took your SAT class in Sept. in Auburn. I had a 300 point increase! I’m so happy and wanted to thank you very much. Keep doing what you’re doing – it is great.  -F. C. , SAT prep, Auburn

I wanted to share a success story concerning one of your students from the Auburn, CA class you ran in September/October. Last night we received my daughter’s SAT scores from the October test. She made remarkable improvement, raising her scores by 80 points in reading, 50 points in math, and 80 points in writing, for a total increase of 210 points! Thanks so much. Your class made a huge difference in Tess’s confidence level and overall comfort approaching the SAT for the 2nd time. -S.B., SAT prep, Auburn
