If you are looking for effective, quality test prep for your high schooler, they are the best! Both my daughters were tutored by Dan Koken for the ACT (and Emily for math focus) and I cannot recommend them highly enough. One daughter improved by 5 points and the other by 8!!!! These results made all the difference to them in their college apps and confidence levels. They both worked hard but the incredibly skilled, friendly, supportive, and non-painful work that Dan did with both of them really made the difference. Test prep isn't fun but somehow Dan made it so they didn't hate it and worked so well with each of them although they are very different kids. I don't regret a penny of the spend or a minute of the time the girls spent with Dan and Emily.
I worked with Dan Koken to prepare for the LSAT Flex exam. We utilized Zoom for virtual tutoring sessions, and it was such an easy and effective process. The 1-on-1 attention really allowed for the flexibility and focus I felt I needed to prepare for such a huge exam. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, I had to suddenly shift gears and prepare for the LSAT Flex Exam after the traditional LSAT was rescheduled several times and eventually cancelled. The tutoring meetings really helped me to work through all of the setbacks and nerves during this time. I absolutely recommend Denver Test Prep for any tutoring needs, especially if you are looking into taking the LSAT. It's a complicated exam, and the tutoring process was truly tailored to suit my needs and assure that I felt as ready as possible on test day.
Dan and his team were amazing in preparing my children for the ISEE test! They helped my children improve their test taking skills. They also taught my children math content which was on the test, but that they had not yet learned in school.
