"My daughter took the PSAT and her score was X. We signed her up for a local SAT prep course and she took the SAT. Her score on her first SAT was the same score as her PSAT, X. My daughter was not thrilled with the "one size fits all" teaching method that was used at the SAT prep course. We heard about Monmouth Test Prep so we enrolled her in the SAT Test prep course at Monmouth Test Prep. Monmouth Test prep offered small classes, large classes, one-on-one tutoring, or any combination of classes and tutoring. We chose one-on-one tutoring with Sean and Anna. My daughter really liked how Monmouth Test Prep worked with her to not only identify and improve upon weaknesses but also worked on improving her strengths. My daughter took the SAT a 2nd time and her score went up by 70 points. She decided to take the SAT a third time and practiced using the tools taught to her by Monmouth Test Prep and on her third attempt at the SAT's, her score went up by 210 points from her first SAT attempt!!
THANK you to John, Sean, and Anna at Monmouth Test Prep!!!"
"Mr. Henrikson was an amazing tutor! I highly recommend them! He helped me increase my ACT score dramatically. It was more than a tutoring session, he took the time to get to know me as a student and a person which made the tutoring sessions more enjoyable. I learned so many testing strategies that I use now while I am in college. This is a very helpful tutoring program."
"John and his team find out what areas need improvement and then tailor classes around that. Many different offerings for overall prep, just Math or English and they run SAT and ACT classes as well. Monmouth Test Prep helped my daughter go from a PSAT score of 1230 to an SAT score of 1490 within the same school year."
"Friendly stress free environment. Perfect for my daughter. Close to home and she was able to make her own small group. I’ll be sending my other girls there too."
"We are very happy we sent our daughter to Monmouth Test Prep. She was calm and confident the morning of the SAT thanks to the sessions she had the previous weeks with John. Her score surpassed her goal and we are more than happy with the results."
"Worth every penny. Both daughters were tutored by Monmouth Test Prep and both exceeded their expectations on the SAT. The oldest is loving the University of Michigan and would not have achieved the scores required without your care, instruction and expertise. Our youngest is pursuing engineering and has the scores she needs to attend top schools, thanks to Anna and Stephanie -- round #2 SAT coming up. Thank you MTP!"
"I’ve been with Mr. Henrikson for the past 3 years for PSAT, SAT, and ACT Prep and the experience was second to none. He is able to adapt to what the student needs and overcome any obstacles that can hold someone back. His teaching allowed me to improve my SAT scores by over 250 points and receive a perfect score on the ACT. Bottom line, I would not recommend any other place. If you want to reach you’re absolute maximum potential on test taking go to Monmouth Test Prep!"
"We are very happy we sent our daughter to Monmouth Test Prep. She was calm and confident the morning of the SAT thanks to the sessions she had with John. Her score surpassed her goal and we are more than happy with the results!"
"Mr. Henrikson and his test prep company are the best in the business. The strategies he provides are unparalleled and will allow anyone who accepts his help to improve their scores beyond what they believed previously possible. Personally, Mr. Henrikson helped me to improve my PSAT scores by 200 points and successfully achieve a 35 on my first ACT. I was also able to utilize his effective testing strategies to get a 1500 on the SAT. Monmouth Test Prep is a great opportunity if you are looking to improve your scores and become a successful test-taker."
"Easy to utilize and remember strategies that anyone can learn to succeed with.
I was able to improve my PSAT score to be recognized as a National Merit Commended Student. With only one course I was able to improve my ACT Composite Score to a 35. Mr. Henrikson earnestly cares about the success of every student he mentors, and devotes his full efforts accordingly."
"Mr. Henrikson is one of a kind. Not only is he an incredible teacher, but you will be hard pressed to find someone who cares about each individual student and their successes, more than him. The motivation that you are consistently given to complete such a rigorous course is extremely beneficial to any student looking to succeed in the future."
"I was extremely satisfied with the support and instruction provided by Mr. Henrikson and his team! My son is an athlete and with the ACT prep and tutoring provided at Monmouth Test Prep he was able to successfully gain acceptance to the top tier university he currently is attending. You will find patient and student centered instruction here!"
"Friendly and experienced. Was able to increase BOTH of my daughter's college entrance exam grades dramatically. HIGHLY recommend!!"
"Fantastic tutoring. Gave my son the necessary strategies, practice tests and confidence to achieve maximum results on the ACT. Well done!!!!"
"John Henrikson did an amazing job preparing my son, Ryan for the PSAT and ACT standardized tests. Thanks to his teaching style, Ryan a senior in high school is a National Merit Semi-Finalist and received a 36 on his first try on the ACT. Ryan could not have achieved these tremendous results without Mr Henrikson. He was prepared, he was focused and he was confident going into both the PSAT and the ACT. We were so happy with Ryan's experience with Mr Henrikson, that our second son TJ is also now in one of his classes and our third son is soon to follow. Thanks Mr. Henrikson!"
"Two Sons. Many standardized tests. One tutor. One result ~ Outstanding! John Henrikson has prepared my sons for both the SAT and the ACT standardized tests. His methodology is straightforward and yields tremendous results. Students are prepared wholly so that test day is seen as a challenge to be met with confidence, energy and an attitude that says "I got this"! His practice methods and strategy guidelines were easily incorporated by my sons. Mr. Henrikson encourages students to liken "test" days to "game" days going beyond strategy and confidence building to reminding his students to get the proper rest the week leading up to the test date and by giving his students his very own recipe for test day snacking ~ "Geek Mix". My sons followed his protocol to the letter and had outstanding scores as a result. My husband and I could not be more proud of our sons' accomplishments or more pleased with their tutor, John Henrikson. Thanks Mr. Henrikson!"
"My son, Colin, was nervous and unsure about the looming SAT test date. Always a wonderful student, he understood the importance of this singular score. John worked with Colin to strengthen his test taking abilities and reassure him of his skills. Colin's cumulative scores increased significantly after working with John, and he could not have been happier with the results!"
"Mr. Henrikson is a great teacher and easy to learn from. His methods helped to improve my scores a lot and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their scores."
"He really prepared me for the test and allowed me to reach my full potential. Without having him as a tutor, I know that I wouldn't have scored as high as I did on the SAT. Through working with him, I felt more confident going into the test. He put me in a great position to succeed."
"Mr. Henrikson's winning, unassuming manner is what drew me to him originally - he seemed, not only a teacher, but a whole person. He earns his students' trust with his patience, their respect with his expertise, and their loyalty with his genuine interest. I know for a fact I would not have performed as well as I did on my SAT and ACT tests if it were not for this man's determination and efforts. He has enormously helped me develop as a test-taker and a functional member of academia. I would sincerely recommend Mr. Henrikson to anyone who takes seriously their SAT or ACT scores."
"Working with Mr. Henrikson was a blessing. By trusting in his system, I was able to overcome my Critical Reading and Writing deficiencies to gain a 2230 on the SAT. Also, he helped raise my PSAT from a 167 to a 212, which earned me a spot as a commended National Merit Scholar."
"Out of everyone that I have come into contact with, Mr. Henrikson has helped me the most in regard to SAT preparation. His lessons and methodology were crucial in allowing me to do as well as I did on the SATs. Without Mr. Henrikson I would have scored much lower. He truly helped prepare me for the SATs unlike anyone else could have and I highly recommend him and his method of preparation to anyone that wants to do exceedingly well.”
"Mr. Henrikson's one-on-one tutoring strengthened my focus, honed my skills and improved my scores in the areas where I struggled. I went up 100 points from the PSAT, and I plan on raising my score again with his techniques for my second SAT!"
"Mr. Henrikson is extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. His methods are effective and easy to understand, and I would personally recommend him to anyone looking to boost their scores."
"Making the decision to get a tutor is easy...finding the RIGHT one, not so much. John Henrikson is a terrific tutor. He not only works to improve test scores but enhances study skills and time management. Both Kate and Emily have gained an increased confidence in taking standardized tests, both SAT and ACT. John is not only kind and caring he is also flexible and connects well with the students. He is very experienced and widely regarded by parents and educators in our area. "
