The words of brilliant Crimson students who achieved their dreams working with us
“In the end it came down to preparation and confidence and knowing that - with the help of my Crimson tutors - I had done everything I could possibly do to be exam ready.”
“Crimson’s technology-based mentorship was key to the success and impact of my extracurricular project. My Crimson mentor showed me how technology takes away the barrier of distance. Thanks to her, my ideas became a reality, through planning, connection, and support.”
“When I first took my SAT’s, my score wasn’t great. But after I started tutoring with Crimson I got a 1470 and on my third try, a 1540!”
