Lara is amazing. She helped my son prepare for the SAT’s and made him accountable for his efforts. He had 9 online sessions with her (7 for the first semester of his junior year and 2 in May, right before the June 2023 SAT test). Because of her help and vast knowledge of SAT preparation, he scored in the 99th percentile! Now, as a rising senior, he will not have to stress out about the SAT and just focus on enjoying his senior year! I would definitely recommend her services!

Lara was a great help with amazing patience as she helped my daughter improve her math scores by over 100 points. I fully and wholeheartedly recommend Lara for any student wanting to quickly learn the SAT tricks of the trade. Thank you Lara.

We hired Lara for standardized college test prep. It has been extremely helpful for our son and his scores improved massively with her help. And her communication with us was stellar.

I cannot recommend Mrs. Lara White as a tutor highly enough. She initially tutored our daughter in third grade for math and English, and continued through high school. Her assistance was invaluable.
The SAT prep review in high school was the best money we ever spent. I bought several SAT prep books that were gathering dust in our daughter’s closet.
Then we scheduled SAT prep sessions with Mrs. White over the summers. Our daughter did SAT practice tests in advance of those sessions and then reviewed the questions that she got wrong with Mrs. White. She completed nine SAT practice tests. A perfect score on the SAT is 1600. By doing the SAT prep with Mrs. White, our daughter increased her pretest score to her posttest score by 350 points! This will assist in applying for a college scholarship.
If I, as a parent, had made our daughter do nine SAT tests, and then had attempted to review the incorrect answers, it would not have gone well. Mrs. White did a beautiful job. She also taught my daughter how to take a standardized test. This skill will serve her well in the future.
Mrs. White is a wonderful tutor! She connects well with children and teens. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

Lara White helped me tremendously in preparing for the SAT and knowing what to expect from it, especially by teaching me how to streamline the process of answering questions by figuring out how the test makers think. Working with her is amazing – she’s smart, funny, efficient, professional, and extremely organized, which makes every tutoring session feel like a simultaneously productive and uplifting experience. I used a lot of Mrs. White’s advice when I took my first SAT – and landed in the 91st percentile, an improvement from my initial scores – because of the practice I had gotten during my sessions with her. I highly recommend Lara White as a tutor, and I’m a much better test taker because of her concise and applicable test-taking tips.
