Deana first tutored my son for SATs and college applications, and then my younger daughter from 6th grade through her senior year of high school. They both got into their first choice of schools and I was amazed at how she actually energized my son so that he studied! Deana was incredibly supportive to my daughter as well, who is an over-achiever, and struggled with anxiety. She is both calming and so passionate about learning that even I, listening in the next room, wished I could’ve had someone like her helping me in high school.

My son worked with Deana Barone on the SAT twice and on ACT. Let’s just say that my son never does any homework– why he had to take the SAT twice– but Deana was there for him for it all. We recommended her to many friends, including some pretty big celebrity’s children, all of them really happy with her work. She’s worth every penny.

My son is learning disabled and had scored in the 300s and low 400s on each of the SAT sections. Not only did she tell us to get the testing he needed to get more time in the test, but she helped him raise his scores to the 500s on each section, more than we ever dreamed. He always looked forward to her coming over, and he has ADD, and he still sat through two hours with only a couple five minute breaks and didn’t complain. Deana also helped us with college essays and applications, and my son got into the Notre Dame program for LD students. Thank you, Deana!
