“My son was struggling with math ... and had scored in the 19th percentile on his first 'go-round' with the SSATs ... he began seeing himself as a 'poor test taker.' Chris began working with my son ... at which point his grades gradually improved and his self-confidence in the area of mathematics began to rise. His SSAT score increased from the 19th to the 69th percentile ...” Jean L. (Client - 1999) --- “Thank you very much for your great help in preparing our daughter Sarah for her SAT tests ... Her math went up 90 points to 650 and her verbal went up 50 to 780!” Linda W. (Client - 1998) --- “Our conscientious and studious daughter has attended a very rigorous private girls school in San Francisco since kindergarten. ... After she did poorly in the math section of the 7th grade SSAT, we asked her school math teacher to recommend a private tutor and we were immediately referred to Mr. Borland. ... her math scores improved from the 21st percentile ... to the 83rd percentile ... Needless to say, we were totally delighted with the results!” Craig/Suzanne L. (Clients - 2006) --- “What was outstanding to see was the combination of Chris’s professional expertise along with his ability to instill self-confidence about the test, in a group of students that historically has not tested well on the SAT. Chris was professional in the workshop yet conveyed a great sense of empathy, caring and warmth. The students responded very positively to him ... ... Chris’s workshops helped our students improve their test experience, as well as their scores.” Joni B., Sandy P. (Administrators - 2006) --- “... My son had three one hour sessions with Chris ... retook the ACT ... and he received a score of 24, a five point increase! I was greatly impressed with Chris and amazed at how well he was able to communicate and work with my son.” Nancy E. (Client - 1999) --- “Mr. Borland came highly recommended to us as an SAT prep specialist by the Tamalpais High School District ... He definitely turned out to be an excellent reference. Mr. Borland taught a class that was succinctly organized and well presented. The students enjoyed his class and actually applauded him when it was over. In the evaluation forms that the students turned in to us, they ranked Mr. Borland's classes very highly and added such comments as 'he's cool'". Judy P. (Administrator - 2001) --- “Our son, Bobby, was diagnosed last December with severe learning disabilities ... Bobby worked with you twice a week on his math. He began to understand the concepts, finish his homework, and excel in class. His self-esteem increased tremendously. The most commendable accomplishment was the increase in Bobby’s SAT1 scores. Bobby met with you individually for two hours only and increased his scores from 860 to 1020, a total of 160 points! This has significantly increased his chances in several of his favorite college choices. And this is the boy that was going to only look at schools that did not require standardized tests.” Sally N. (Client - 2003) --- “I have been impressed with Chris’s high level of energy and enthusiasm for his work, his attentiveness to detail, his appropriateness and effectiveness ...
