“Thank you so much for setting up the tutors for my SAT preparation. Novastar Prep took care of everything so quickly. Ms. Angelica Lee was a wonderful math tutor and explained all of the SAT math concepts very well. ...Mr. David was a great reading tutor and was able to explain the grammar concepts clearly. I had an amazing experience with Novastar Prep and I am lucky that I was able to learn important SAT concepts in such a short time. Both tutors helped raise my confidence for the test.”
