“Excellent tutor. Very concise and thorough in helping me understand the material.”
— Lex, statistics student
— Parent of math student
“Tutor is organized and efficient. He is passionate about teaching the material. The quality that impresses me the most is that he is able to engage my son during these coronavirus times, when we are not even certain whether the SAT exam will happen or not. That speaks a lot to tutor’s charisma. We are lucky to have him. He is an outstanding educator. I highly recommend.”
— Kavitha, parent of SAT student
“Tutor was not only well informed of the topic, but was also able to provide me with additional resources for me to gain a deeper knowledge of the meaning of the values I was solving for.”
— Renee, statistics student
“Love working with tutor he knows the material so well, has answers to all my questions. He explains complicated ideas in a simple and understandable way and he is very professional. Highly recommend.”
— Naida, adult learner in CS and statistics
“I liked tutor’s first session today, he’s a great teacher! He ensured his style of teaching was working and was ‘teaching me how to fish’ rather than giving me a fish.”

“I wholeheartedly recommend working with Ed. As a person with a learning disability, the LSAT was not just hard; it was almost impossible. My first attempt was so bad I believed I’d never be able to improve. However, working with Ed made the difference. And I believe it was because he was more than just a tutor; he was also a coach. We worked together to find the best strategies that would work for me and he guided me on how to use them on the LSAT. And so, from starting out in the low 130s to scoring in the high 150s and now enrolled in law school, I can attest that it did.”
— Phillip, LSAT student
“I worked with Ed in preparation for the June and August LSATs during the spring/summer of 2022. For the few months that we worked together, Ed was able to help me increase my score more than 20 points from where I originally started. Ed took his time explaining the complexities of LSAT questions and how the exam makers were intentionally trying to confuse the test takers. We would then drill practice problems together and Ed would give me tips and tricks to solve problems, in a timely manner, that could help me during the exam. I am extremely proud of the work that Ed and I accomplished together. His methods of teaching boosted my LSAT score to the point where I am attending law school with a significant scholarship. I recommend Ed as an LSAT tutor without any reservations.”

“Alice is the icing on the cake for a kid who is doing well, like my kids were most of the time, but she is just the most encouraging person and I know she would be great for any kid who is struggling. She was great for my kid when she struggled on the ISEE! [Competitor] did my daughter’s baseline test and basically told us there was no chance to get into the schools we were applying for. So we asked friends for tutor intros and met Alice and she got my daughter into Spence, Chapin, Fieldston, Riverdale, basically everywhere. And she’s helping her through Constructing America at Riverdale right now and I have to tell you, I’m a doctor and that class is too hard for me! But Alice is making it happen. She is worth every penny. I had to work really hard to pay her and she was worth it!”

“I worked with Haley Schwartz for five months while she prepared my fifth grade son for the Lower Level ISEE examination. From the very beginning she proved to be an invaluable partner and made an inherently challenging process seamless and enjoyable, while helping him achieve outstanding results. Our son’s baseline scores prior to working with Haley improved several stanines on the final examination, thanks to Haley. Because he had not been exposed to much of the mathematics content in school, Haley had a lot of work to do. Her incredible organizational skills helped her create a systematic playbook for when and how to introduce and reinforce new content, ensuring he was very familiar with all of the content by the time of the exam. Haley also effectively employed techniques like repetition, brain breaks, extremely clear communication, positive feedback, and humor to teach him. Haley is also a keen observer and understands children. This is invaluable in situations when a child may be having a hard time maintaining focus. She knows how to adjust in the moment to keep the momentum going. In addition to being such a skilled teacher of content, Haley effortlessly embodies a warm and encouraging attitude that motivates both children and parents alike. She was always optimistic and shared her belief in our son with him often, which was very motivating to us all. Preparing for a challenging exam at a young age can feel insurmountable. Haley was able to overcome our son’s initial negative feelings about devoting so much time to preparing, and soon enough he actually enjoyed their sessions. Because of Haley’s great strengths as a tutor she made learning hard things enjoyable and rewarding, which is perhaps the greatest lesson. I would enthusiastically recommend Haley as a tutor for anyone’s child. She possesses all of the skills and temperament required to teach children effectively and enjoyably. You really are so gifted! If our schools had teachers like you our kids would be so much happier and better educated.”

“Tutor’s great intelligence and warm personality made him a perfect SAT tutor for our daughter, when she needed a brush up on her math before another crack at the SAT. Tutor was tremendously helpful: he very clearly and patiently explained how to solve the most difficult of SAT math problems and provided some fine test-taking tips. Of equal importance, he modelled the sort calm perseverance that is essential for success on a stressful test like the SAT, and he was very encouraging of our daughter, whose confidence he helped to build before a high stakes last try. Highly recommended!”

“Tutor worked with our son to help him prepare for AP Computer Science and SSAT exams to get into an elite prep school. I cannot say enough good things about Myles and Now Test Prep. Thanks to his exceptional tutoring skills, our son not only aced his tests but also gained a much deeper understanding of the subjects. From our very first conversation, we knew Myles was the right fit for our family. Myles’s warm personality and passion for teaching immediately put our son at ease, and he was excited and always looking forward to the weekly sessions. Over the course of just a couple of weeks, Myles worked to identify his strengths and weaknesses and create a customized study plan that played to his strengths while addressing areas where he needed improvement. His patience, flexibility, and willingness to adapt to my son’s learning style made all the difference. Through his expert guidance, Myles helped our son develop study habits, time-management skills, and a growth mindset. He provided him with tools to better manage stress and anxiety related to test preparations and taught him how to prioritize his tasks and goals. His unwavering support and encouragement gave my son the confidence to take on challenges and persevere even when things got tough. Myles also took a holistic approach to test prep. He helped understand that academic success is only one piece of the puzzle, and that personal development is just as crucial. My son looks up to him now and wants to emulate his kindness, empathy, excellent communication skills and giving back to the community. I am beyond grateful for the incredible guidance and support Myles provides for our son. Not only did he help him ace his tests and get admitted into his dream school, but Myles also played a vital role in his personal development to be a more well-rounded and self-assured individual. We plan to continue to work with Now Test Prep for continued guidance through college admissions. I strongly recommend Myles and Now Test Prep to anyone looking for a tutor and mentor who truly cares about their son or daughter’s personal and academic growth.”

“Tutor & Emily worked with our son on his middle school test prep, and the results were breathtaking. Not only did our son’s scores move up 30 points, but his level of commitment and sense of accomplishment has never been so high. The team at NOW offers world-class tutors and world-class service, especially for families constrained by time. Like everything else with NOW, we found the pricing to also be the top of the market, a price well worth the results. We will work with them again.”

“Now Test Prep is owned by Myles Muñera-Keating, who we’ve gotten to know over the years as a neighbor. When it was time to prep our son for the SHSAT there was no question we would entrust tutor with this. Myles is able to connect with people of all ages, as evidenced by the fact that he is friendly with everyone on our block. For our son, the early days of prep were a bit rough – he’s never really had to work at anything before, and he can get easily frustrated. Myles was patient, kind, and supportive. By the end, our son was consistently doing well on the practice exams and feeling confident and ready for the test. Happy to say he got his first choice SHSAT school, but even if he hadn’t I would still recommend Myles.”

“Myles is phenomenal, marrying a true generosity of spirit with a level of patience that matches any essential work involving children. His facility with math is matched by a true gift at translating and teaching math, making complex ideas accessible even to the youngest students. He was able to give my son the most important gift of all: confidence in his own abilities, and the courage to ask questions.”
— Lea Carpenter, Math Parent
“Myles was a wonderful tutor! He helped me brush up on my math for the SAT, and after only two weeks of tutoring (five one-hour lessons) I was able to increase my math score from a 720 to a 760! He is able to articulate concepts in ways that are easy to understand, and he genuinely cares about helping his students.”
— Sicile N-G, SAT student
“Great tutor. Myles helped me with my business analytics class in college which teaches us how to use excel. He is the reason I passed the course. I worked with him weekly and I felt prepared for all my exams and way more confident on my homework and overall course material. 10/10 recommend tutor.”
— Nick Goldstein, college business analytics student
“Great and efficient tutor. With only 5 sessions before my Geometry Regents he helped me increase my score on multiple practice tests as well as giving me unmatched confidence on test day. Thank you so much!”
— Ben Hughes, Geometry Regents student
Myles is great – he’s very good with young adults and he adapts the lessons to things that will interest them, while also educating them about key topics. My son enjoyed meeting with him and I felt like he was very in tune with how to engage my son, even during the crazy COVID times.

“In the beginning of my Junior year, I was struggling to learn AP Biology. My school had the first unit (macromolecules) as a summer course and I had forgotten most of the content by September, which impacted my ability to understand new content. Around October, I took Biology tutoring from a Yale student, Li Murphy. Through tutoring, I was able to understand Biology concepts more throughly such as Cell Structure, Cellular Respiration & Photosynthesis, and Cellular Reproduction. After taking around 6 tutoring lessons to cover content, I took the first semester final exam and did well. Now, in the second semester, my grade has improved to a 95%! I am more easily able to learn Biology concepts in class like Gene Expression and Meiosis much better thanks to Ms. Murphy’s tutoring, for which I am very grateful for!”
— Gabriel P., AP Biology student
“Highly recommend. Emily is professional, organized, kind, and motivating. We began with SSAT prep and ended with tutor helping craft the suite of essays our son had to submit while applying to boarding school as a 9th grader. We’re delighted with our son’s admissions outcomes and give a lot of credit to Emily!”
— Elizabeth, SSAT & Essay Coaching Parent

“From the very first session with Myles, my wife and I recognized our daughter was in good hands. Myles is very knowledgeable about the core curriculum requirements in her (6th) grade level, whether it’s humanities, math, reading, or science. He gears the weekly sessions to the pertinent assignments, testing, homework and projects that our daughter is working on, and he does so in a way which is clear and easy for our daughter to understand. He is, moreover, very personable and easy going with our daughter. Finding Myles has been a definite game changer for our daughter, and she looks forward to school with a confidence she did not have before working with him.”
— Diego Hojraj, 6th Grade Academic Tutoring Parent

— Frances Musco, Academic Tutoring Parent
“Myles Keating of Now Test Prep is a sharp Stanford graduate who knows his stuff. He helped my daughter prepare for her 7th grade state math test, and explained to her the importance of time management. It didn’t take long for Myles to figure out my daughter’s weaknesses, and he soon helped her understand concepts in a way that made sense to her. I actually witnessed an ‘a-ha’ moment, and it was glorious. The help she received boosted her confidence, and changed her whole attitude towards math. Besides being professional, Myles is also upbeat and relates well to kids. I’m amazed by the impact he had, and delighted that my daughter is enjoying math now.”
— Beth Kapocias, 7th Grade Math Parent
