My son initially took the SAT and got an 860 (Reading: 440, Math: 420) and needed to improve. Once he started working with Amir, my son felt that that Amir explained concepts clearly; he also liked how Amir structured his study plan. Amir was very strategic--focusing on areas where he saw the most potential for growth. I liked that it was completely tailored to my son I feel like it provided him with solid foundation for the SAT and gave him the confidence he needed to approach the test. My son re-took the exam and improved dramatically: 1150 (Reading: 590, Math: 560)..a 290 point improvement! I highly recommend Amir. -Monique Roth, parent of McLean High School Junior
Amir was referred to me from another Langley High School mom. My son was in his junior year and planned to take the ACT in April. Amir had him take a diagnostic exam and my son scored a 27. My son's goal was was a score of 32, which Amir thought was doable. My son's biggest challenge was reading, so Amir taught him various effective techniques including how to speed-read. Over about a 6-week timeframe, I saw my son's improvement in his practice exams in all subject areas, and Amir would help him focus on the questions he got wrong. Thanks to Amir, our son scored a 33! If anyone is hesitant to spend the money to work with Amir, I would say it was one of the best investments we made for our son. He will be able to utilize what Amir taught him way beyond taking college admission exams! Thank you Amir! -Michele Crumes, parent of Langley High School Junior
My daughter took the SAT a first time and was not happy with her score. After prepping with Amir, she took the exam a second time and improved 410 points over her last SAT exam! I highly recommend Langley Prep for preparing for the SAT. Amir teaches exactly how to study for the exam in addition to SAT content and test taking strategies. -Loni Parent, parent of Madeira School Senior
My son worked with Amir prior to undergoing the stressful gauntlet of testing during his junior year of high school. Amir helped determine which exam (SAT or ACT) was better suited to his particular strengths. Once the best format was identified, Amir met weekly with my son to review sample test results in painstaking detail, strategize about test taking skills, formulate sample essay concepts and discuss overall test preparation. I give credit to Amir for helping my son achieve to his full potential and recommend his services without reservation - Nancy Keane, parent of Potomac School Junior
Amir provided exceptional insight and preparations for our daughter who is a junior. He was flexible in terms of scheduling and very responsive to our questions both via email and phone. We highly recommend Langley Prep given our daughter's results as she was very well prepared for the SAT and improved over 400 points. - William Dubay, parent of Bishop O'Connell Junior
Langley Prep is a cut-above when it comes to test prep. Amir has a firm command of test formats, scoring and strategies that one would expect from a coach. What sets him apart is his personal approach. He works one-on-one with his students to develop goals based on their strengths and weaknesses, as well as their level of commitment to improving their scores. He helps students develop a realistic idea of what they can accomplish, and what it will take. This builds their confidence in the process and their dedication to the work involved. From session to session, Amir keeps detailed records of student’s progress in order to either reaffirm or adjust areas to focus on or strategies to implement. Significantly, his personal experience with learning issues allows him to tailor his approach and advice to a variety of learning styles. Finally, the convenience of his coming to your house is a huge plus. Given the investment of time, energy and resources involved in working with a tutor, and the potential benefits to be gained from improving test scores, I could not recommend Amir more highly. - McNair Bishop, parent of Langley High School Senior
I highly recommend Langley Prep for SAT preparation. Amir had a wonderful rapport with our son who is a Junior going to McLean HS. His ability to connect with our son helped him achieve a better understanding of how to interpret the different questions. He works very closely with his students to perform at a very high level. Our son improved from a 1400 to a 1880 on the SAT, which is nearly a 500 point improvement! I cannot thank Amir enough for all his help. -Yamini Piple, parent of McLean High School Junior
My son took the SATs last spring and did OK. He took them again last fall with less than two weeks of instruction from Amir and the results were shocking! Louis went from good scores to improving them by 310 points! Amir is amazing! Louis applied to 9 schools, was accepted by all and received academic scholarships to all but 3. Amir took a kid who didn't want to take a prep course and worked with him so well that it challenged him to improve. And improve he did! Doesn't hurt that Amir is one very smart young man. -Mindy Gaertner, parent of Georgetown Prep Senior
In the quest to find the right SAT tutoring for my son, a friend referred me to Langley Prep. Amir had worked with her son in preparation for him taking the SAT’s for the 2nd time. She shared with me that her son had improved his score significantly (over 300 points) after working with Amir, and suggested that I contact Langley Prep in my quest to assist my own son. I knew that my son would be best with a one-on-one relationship with an SAT tutor rather then in a group setting, and Amir could not have been a better match for my son. I found him to be to be very knowledgeable about the whole testing process and how to best improve; he was honest, dependable, and very easy to communicate with. I also appreciated how understanding and accommodating Amir was with my son’s school and athletic schedule. He quickly came to understand my son’s personal learning style, strengths as well as weaknesses, and tailored the sessions accordingly. My son felt very comfortable with Amir, and his confidence grew with each tutoring session. My son ended up improving his SAT scores 270 points! Amir has kept in constant contact with us inquiring how my son did on the test, and has even had additional concrete and creative suggestions on how he could improve his scores even more should he choose to take the test again. I am very satisfied with the services we received from Langley Prep, and can’t recommend Amir highly enough. It was a pleasure to have us all work together, and I am thrilled to be able to share our positive experience with other parents and students. -Tracey Cumberland, parent of Flint Hill Junior
I highly recommend Langley Prep for SAT tutoring. The individual tutoring sessions and methodology are much more effective and efficient than our experience with small group sessions. Mr. Mousavi is reliable, dependable and focused. Our daughter’s SAT results were outstanding, as she improved 400 points! I give Langley Prep a grade of A+. -David Kuhnsman, parent of Langley High School Junior
We have been extremely pleased and satisfied with the educational and tutorial services provided by Langley Prep.The focused, individually tailored plans produce measurable and significant results in a matter of days. After our daughter took the Langley Prep SAT Prep course, we noticed a massive improvement in her confidence. In the end, my daughter improved a total of 370 points points (Math-140 pts, Writing-140 pts, Reading- 90pts) over her last SAT exam! I particularly admire the teaching skills, patience and resilience of Amir Mousavi, the founder of this institution. I highly recommend Langley Prep without any reservations. - Raj Puri, parent of Fairfax High School Senior
Amir related well to my son as they both are athletes. As a result Amir was understanding about scheduling around practices and my son felt comfortable talking to Amir about his interest in playing baseball in college. My son's SAT scores increased over his PSAT scores after working with Amir. And then increased again when he took the SAT a second time after some additional sessions with Amir. His flexibility and easy going nature were greatly appreciated. - Karen McStein, parent of Langley High School Junior
