Testimonials
Sheal – GRE Quantitative
"Math has always been a challenge for me, but working with Dr. Hadi completely changed my approach to problem-solving. He patiently helped me break down difficult GRE Quant concepts, and his clear explanations made things finally click. Thanks to his guidance, I saw a 17-point improvement in my GRE Quant score, which I never thought was possible. I truly appreciate his support and the confidence he helped me build throughout the process."
Ananya – SAT Math
"Dr. Hadi’s tutoring made all the difference in my SAT Math preparation. He never made me feel bad about my mistakes—he just helped me learn from them. His step-by-step explanations and practical test strategies helped me approach problems in a way that made sense. With his help, I was able to improve my SAT Math score by 130 points, which made a huge impact on my college applications. I’m really grateful for his patience and encouragement."
Iris – College Admissions (CMU CS Program)
"When I started my college applications, I wasn’t sure how to showcase my strengths, especially for such a competitive program. Dr. Hadi’s advice on structuring my essays and presenting my experiences made all the difference. He never rewrote anything for me—he just asked the right questions to help me shape my own story. I was beyond excited when I got into Carnegie Mellon’s Computer Science program, and I know his guidance played a huge part in that. I’m so thankful for his support during such a stressful time!"
