Sam B. is really smart

Franklin Yard provides excellent SAT prep, thanks very much!

Got a 34 on the ACT because of Franklin Yard. Definitely worth it

Awesome tutoring! Sam really helped me to improve my SAT score. Recommend highly.

Sam Bellows was an awesome tutor for my SAT prep. He was understanding, patient, and extremely impactful while helping me raise my score.

Sam Bellows is the reason I got my ACT score up and he helped me tremendously though the testing process. I highly recommend him as a tutor!

My daughter had a great experience with the virtual prep course. The instructors were amazing and she increased her SAT score by over 200 points.

This course was great for my son. He wanted to boost his SAT score a little. After this course it went up significantly! And he got into his first choice!

Ryan’s teaching style really worked for my daughter. Went in to focus on math for ACT and surpassed all expectations. 10/10 would recommend Franklin Yard and Ryan.

Sam Bellows is the best SAT tutor I have ever had. He identifies his students weak points and makes them stronger than their strengths. Awesome and extremely amazing service!

Had an excellent experience. Franklin Yard tailored the program to meet our daughters strengthens and weaknesses. Ended up raising her score by 300+ points. Would highly recommend them for SAT prep.

We had a fantastic experience with Franklin Yard! Tara is extremely responsive and was very accommodating with our needs. With the help of Prathinav, my son was able to exceed his goal score. We can not thank you enough!

Tara was amazing to work with and extremely accommodating. My son did a group tutoring session as well as a one on one with Bill and he was top notch! Bill helped him increase his score with his tutoring. Highly recommend the program and Bill.

Sam bellows is such an incredible SAT tutor. He isn’t boring like many other tutors but instead is excited about the subjects he teaches. He is very patient and understanding and greatly improved both my math and language arts scores! Highly recommend

Joohyun and Franklin Yard were great! My daughter worked well with Joohyun and increased her scores. They were very accommodating with regard to how many sessions we wanted and they worked with us to customize a test preparation sequence that served her well.

I wish I could give 10 STARS! Franklin Yard has been exceptional. My son loved working with Josh and we are thrilled with his test results, up almost 300 points. Josh was more than a weekly tutor. He cared about my son and connected in a way no other tutor has ever done. Highly recommend!

Josh at Franklin Yard is outstanding! My son enjoyed meeting with him, learned some terrific test-taking strategies, and increased his SAT score tremendously. Josh is a kind, flexible, fun and easygoing tutor who understands teenagers and how to keep them engaged. Highly recommend Franklin Yard!!

Josh helped my daughter not only increase her SAT score by 300+ points, but also helped her learn new strategies in test taking. Strategies that will help her throughout college. My daughter enjoyed every session and didn’t mind putting in the work to achieve the results. Thank you Josh and Franklin Yard!

They have such a great, individualized approach. Sam answered all of my many questions about standardized testing and its role in my son’s college process. And they know what they’re doing. My son felt confident and ready on test day, and his SAT score exceeded our expectations first try. Thank you Franklin Yard!

Our family has had two kids work with the Franklin Yard group and the college bound one increased her score over 200 points. And we were told the high "schooler" (who will be attending an area private high school) received the highest score on their entrance exam. Tara and her team are the best....thanks again - E

Highly recommend Franklin Yard for test preparation. Two of our boys went through the Masterclass prep course for SATs. The instructors were personable, engaging and very helpful in setting our kids up to succeed. Both of our boys were pleasantly surprised to find themselves enjoying the classes and they both made nice improvements in their test scores.

Had a great experience with Franklin Yard! Tara walked me through the process as my daughter was taking the SAT one last time. Daniel was assigned as her tutor and he made her feel comfortable through review and homework and targeted assignments. She had a big improvement in a short amount of sessions and has the confidence going into her applications this fall.

Franklin Yard is top notch!! I highly recommend. Tara was excellent at setting expectations & goals as well as explaining the process. Jooyun was the best tutor my daughter has experienced. Her unique & individualized approach helped my daughter raise her ACT score by 4 points as well as increase her confidence!! They truly care about the students and their success!

Franklin yard was instrumental in helping my daughter increase her scores! And while many schools remained test optional I'm convinced that her submission of test scores that were above the criteria needed for her intended colleges definitely helped her gain acceptance into 10 out of the 10 colleges that she applied to! Everyone at Franklin yard was great, and really cared about her success!

Franklin Yard provides excellent standardized test prep! They are very responsive from the first inquiry forward. I loved their organization from matching the tutor for my child to their easy payment system. Bill Rubin tutored my daughter for the SAT - and he was amazing! He was very energetic and engaging throughout the sessions; making it much more enjoyable to prep for such a mundane exam! Will definitely utilize their services in the future for my younger daughter!

Franklin Yard saved our lives!! My daughter was overwhelmed and struggling until we started with Franklin. They treated us like their most important client and the tutoring was specifically tailored to my daughter. I could see the relief in her almost immediately when she realized she wasn't alone. A closeness and trust was built with our team and she blew us away with her scores. I hate to measure her success in just scores because she has gained such a confidence in academics that we never thought we'd see. Thank you so much Franklin Yard from the bottom of our hearts!!

Franklin Yard Delivers! We had a goal and FY helped us to achieve it, and then some! Our daughter had an amazing experience working with Joohyun, she had a great rapport with her and made it easy to get on the zooms! She related well to our daughter and knew when to push her and when to give her a break. We cannot say enough good things about working with her. Tara is also quite helpful and insightful, we were grateful that when we did have a concern she stepped right up to make sure we were happy and getting what we needed. Thank you Franklin Yard! We will be seeing you soon for our next daughter!

In a world full of factory-farmed tutoring, Franklin Yard is in a class above. They've developed their own curricula based on a real understanding of the SAT + ACT tests -- how they work, how they differ, the thinking behind each question -- coupled with a keen awareness of how students learn. With the wisdom of seasoned teachers, they know each student is complex individual, not just a kid to be put through their paces, and this care shows up in the results. Every member of the Franklin Yard team is whip-smart, but that's to be expected. What makes the difference is the personalized attention, commitment to quality, and genuine care for helping each student reach their goals.

Choosing Franklin Yard was the best choice I made for my daughter's college admissions process! This is not the first college admissions company/tutor my family has used (having gone through the process before with siblings) but it has by far been the best! Her tutor Ryan's personalized tutoring approach focused on her specific weaknesses and strengths, helping her develop a deeper understanding of the ACT material and test strategies. She ended with not only a significant score increase but a huge boost to her confidence! We are truly grateful for this tutoring experience and highly recommend Franklin Yard to anyone looking for a comprehensive, results-driven approach to ACT prep.

Our experience with Franklin Yard (over Zoom) was outstanding, from the very beginning to the end. Tara’s initial intake meeting regarding our daughter was relevant and insightful, and she placed her with a fabulous tutor. Our daughter’s tutor was excellent. She was calm, organized, diligent, and extremely clear in her explanations regarding test taking strategies and timing. In addition to covering pacing thoroughly and explaining confusing content wonderfully (all on Zoom), she was warm and friendly. Our daughter achieved the results she desired and she really enjoyed her ACT sessions despite being on Zoom! All around a great experience. If we could give 6 stars we would! Thank you Franklin Yard!

Sam Bellows and Franklin Yard brought my 1120 PSAT to a 1420 SAT. Standardized testing can be highly stressful, but Sam's continuous encouragement and willingness to help made for a stress-free, focused environment that fostered growth and improvement. Sam made a great effort to deliver his content in ways he knew I would learn best. He knew sports were my passion and incorporated them to explain complex concepts and problems. Most importantly, Sam made a point to form a personal relationship with me. We sent each other riddles and math problems that we found on Instagram or Twitter. He asked about my football and lacrosse seasons to see how my team and I were doing. He congratulated me after receiving my college acceptance to the school that was my number one choice. Sam and I continue to stay in touch today, even though not having had a study session in nearly a year. I cannot thank Sam Bellows and Franklin Yard enough for what they have done for my brother, sister, cousin, and me. Thank you!
