A Delightful Experience
The first time I stepped foot in advantage testing, I was intimidated… I already knew my performance on the SAT diagnostic would be poor, because I lacked confidence. However, when I met Bob Myers, who, has now become what I consider a very dear friend of mine, I knew I had a shot at doing the absolute best I could on the SAT. Yes, the hours were long. Yes, there was a large amount of work that I needed to do in order to get to where I wanted to be. And yes, I was encouraged to take at least 2 6 hour SAT tests every week during the summer. And of course, I went each time. I say “encouraged” because I was never forced to go—I always wanted to go. Bob’s tutoring methods made me want to achieve a better score for myself, not because I was trying to get into an extremely prestigious college that required a certain SAT score. I had such a positive experience at advantage testing that I was looking forward to my meetings with Bob. I was excited to show him how I was improving each meeting we had together. Sure, there were times that I was overwhelmed. But I say with confidence and without hesitation that every second with Bob was worth it. Bob was real with me: Bob told me when he expected more of me and my work, and Bob told me when I needed to work harder. However, Bob’s words only made me feel more confident in my work, because over time, his genuine thought and care led me to do exactly how I wanted to do on the exam. I sincerely thank you for this Bob, Helaina
