Delhi Public School, RK Puram, New Delhi, India
The teachers will be there for you every step of the way - they are the most compassionate and smartest people you will meet. I have had the pleasure of working with Ashish and Prashansa. Their teaching methods have allowed me to achieve an ACT score that I had previously only dreamt of. Although I have never been to the tutoring center or met the teachers in person (I am an International student), I could tell from our google meets calls that they are truly genuine and passionate about teaching. Outside of class, they quickly responded to my questions through whatsapp and tried their best to arrange extra classes.Tutela's service is truly one of a kind. With them, the sky's the limit.

I started SAT preparation with Tutela a few months before my exam, and during the time when I prepared, I learnt a lot of tips and tricks that were essential to crack the exam. Tutela's endless resources and personalised classes, along with the paper reviewing sessions, really force you to stop making mistakes and propel you to the score that will get you into your dream school.

I started with SAT coaching at Tutela in August and I came to like their way of teaching in the end. In the middle of my prep, my parents and I were uncertain about the style of teaching as my scores were not as good as we expected. However, Prashant sir started teaching me later and I found his outlook very helpful. All the help from Tutela helped me achieve a 1550 in my December SAT. Read More

I've taken 4 AP classes and SAT prep with Tutela and I can confidently say it has been the best test prep experience that I've had. The faculty is exceptional since they are super knowledgable, approachable and I felt that they took literally every step to ensure I did well. They help throughout the duration of the course, even outside class times and as a student it alleviates so much stress. Tutela's resources are the best. There's no shortage of exam-level problem sets, and the team curates the best, most relevant questions to practice with- helping ensure that I was fully confident and not overwhelmed on test day. The mock exams were so accurate in reflecting the real test format and difficulty, and the review sessions and study strategies helped bridge every gap between where I was and my dream score. It was because of them that a hard test on exam day didnt leave me panicked. The pacing of the classes was perfect, I never felt rushed or disengaged. Concepts were taught with both depth and clarity and made me have a strong foundation of the subject. Over the past two years, I’ve grown tremendously through my experience at Tutela, and hence plan to rely solely on them for any future standardized test preparation. I can never thank Zeba ma'am, Manu sir, Akash sir, Himanshi ma'am, Samriddhi ma'am and Ashi ma'am enough Read More

I think Tutela is one of its kind in the teaching space. Never have I come across a team of such dedicated teachers ready to help you at each step of the way. I went to Tutela at the end of 10th grade for SAT. In just 3 months, my score shot up by approximately 140 points. I truly believe that Anam Ma’am teaches SAT writing and reading in the best and easiest manner possible. I would also like to thank Ashish sir who not only taught me the entire SAT Physics and SAT Math syllabus in a month but also voluntarily helped me with my Math HL IA. Mukul Sir is also a wonderful teacher who would always welcome my doubts. Thanks to their support, I was able to score exceedingly well on the tests. Tutela has a wonderful learning environment for you where you get to have one on one sessions with the teachers. Also, every single member of the team is so warm and friendly. Unlike many other SAT or IB prep centres, the environment at Tutela is very encouraging and positive. I loved spending time here! Read More

After I took my first ACT attempt in July 2020, I knew I wouldn't be able to increase my score myself. Hence, I reached out to Tutela immediately after my results were declared. Despite the fact that we were not having any offline classes, Tutela's online classes remained highly effective and productive. After following a structured plan and giving more than 20 Full-Length Tests on their online portal, I was finally able to get the score I desired. The teachers, too, are fantastic - they are always one text or call away and will ensure that your doubts are clarified. I strongly recommend Tutela as the one-stop destination for the ACT!
