Matthew Lacambra

 “When I first came to A+ academy, my math skills were lazy and flawed, causing me to have poor grades in my Algebra II class the previous year. I failed to use simple concepts inefficient ways, leaving me with an initial score of 1160 on the SAT. After a few months of tutoring with Simon, I learned to realize that math could be much simpler and easier to understand than I initially believed, and Simon helped me raise my score by over 300 points to 1460. I do not doubt that this tutoring with Simon allowed me to be accepted into all of the colleges to which I applied. Along with SAT practice, Simon helped me excel in my pre-calculus class, building the foundation for concepts like trigonometry and complex functions, which led me to succeed in pre-calc and succeed in IB calculus the following year. Simon’s tutoring turned out to be very transformative for me, as it made math a lot more clear and easy for me, helping me ace the SAT and be successful in my high school math classes.”
