"Rob was always there whenever I needed remediation for my weakness or if I was bothered by a minor question. He's helped me improve my Chemistry [performance] and my Math + Critical Reading scores over 130 points just in the course of 3 months. I can't say enough about the efficiency and productivity that Rob always brought to every session he held with me."
"Rob provided a personalized study plan for my son which was not too broad, allowing him to focus on the difficult math and reading questions to achieve the highest percentiles. Rob's clear and thorough instruction in grammar and writing resulted in a significant improvement from initial testing scores. Rob's approach emphasizes applying what is learned to correct mistakes."
"Hey Rob I just got my ACT results back. I received a composite score of 32 (35 E,28 M,34 R, 29 S), which is 5 points higher than my score was before working with you (30 E, 27 M, 28 R, 26 S)."
"I just wanted to email to let you know that I got a 35 on the April ACT! I have really enjoyed working with you, both in tutoring sessions and extra help sessions. Your strategies have tremendously helped me to improve my scores, and I would definitely recommend your tutoring sessions to all my friends! "
"Rob is an amazing tutor. I would not have been able to get a 31 on the ACT without his help and guidance."
"I just wanted to reach out to you and say THANK YOU for all of your help preparing me to do well on my standardized tests. Before I came to you I was struggling getting my test scores into the upper ranges, but after I completed your video series, got feedback on my essays, and took more tests I got scores in the 99% for both the SAT and ACT."
"Mr. Schombs has been a great tutor, mentor, and teacher over the course of time. His content and way of teaching is really helpful and unique."
"I've enrolled in your program and it's honestly one of the best SAT programs I've ever done. Better than any course I've attended and paid more than triple the price for....Honestly Rob, you have been a great teacher. You're extremely thorough and to the point which I really like."
"He got a 1500!!! 750 in each section. Thank you for your help pushing him to that level!"
"I just wanted to take this time to thank you for all that you have provided these past two years. From tutoring with SATs, giving amazing advice, checking over my essays, and so much more."
