Dear Judi,
We want to thank you for your excellent presentation to all our parents

Good evening Judi,
I can't thank you enough for hosting the PSAT/ SAT
Workshop today for the FAU High students. The student feedback
was very positive and they seem very enthusiastic and confident
now about the upcoming PSAT. You've equipped them with some
very useful strategies & knowledge. Now I see why you are
so highly regarded! I would appreciate it if I could keep
a few of your brochures. Thanks again- I really appreciate
it!

From the dad of a college-planning student who lives on
the west coast of Florida:
Judi,
I just want to drop a note for Barry. He has been a tremendous
help to Sweta on her college applications. No matter when
we call him, including evenings, late at night, or weekends,
he has been responsive and extremely helpful in guiding Sweta’s
application essays. On many occasions he has reviewed material
on the very same day (within hours!) and provided Sweta his
superb feedback. We are also impressed by his skill in understanding
the complex subject matters she writes about as well as suggesting
necessary changes.
From a parent considering a therapeutic placement for his
daughter:
You are a passionate professional, and we appreciate your
efforts while we try to come to grips with what appears to
be the inevitable.

From a parent who lives in the Middle East:
Thank you Thank you Thank you Judi! I thought I wasn't going
to get anyone at the school this early in the morning, and
my son was waiting at the gate in London to leave for Chicago.
He's already been traveling for hours. I don't like this
time difference thing at all LOL!! Thank you again for everything!
You are the most reliable person I have ever met!
From local college-planning parents:
Dear Judi,
Bob and
I could not be more pleased with the results you achieved
for Sari. We came to you during the most stressful time in
Sari’s life where it was necessary for her to really
give her all — and before she started with you, her
confidence was down and she was in shut-down mode. You obviously
turned her around and now she is well on her way in life
to the college of her choice. We cannot thank you enough.
Because
of you, Sari’s brother Max is looking at two
alternate research projects for this summer. One is Shoal's,
sponsored by Cornell, to which he has already been accepted,
and another is Stars, from St. Louis University. Max will
tell you about them at your next meeting together. This would
not have happened without you. In addition, because of your
positive, gentle nudging, he tried out for that special jazz
band group at school and was selected as the solo trumpet
player. He would never have undertaken any of these activities
based on our recommendation; they were only possible because
of you!
From a Miami mom of a college-planning student:
I want to personally thank all of you. Please tell Judi how much we
have appreciated all of the assistance that AJ and I received. All of
you have made our life MUCH easier – especially with all his college
acceptances so far! Thanks again. We wish all of you a very happy holiday
season and a healthy and happy New Year. I will keep you guys informed
as to the remaining applications.
From parents whose son went to an emotional-growth boarding
school:
Dear Judi,
At Thanksgiving, I just wanted to say "Thank You" for
all you did to help us and Josh to get to the point where
he is. He is now in upper school at Carlbrook and loving
every minute of it. His grades are As and Bs with an occasional
high C, now and then. He busts his ass to try to make honor
roll, as part of an agreement Grant made with him. He actually
prioritizes to get his work done on time! He is enjoyable
to talk to and has just started on weekly phone calls. He
is a new person and has actually said he's proud of himself,
for the first time in his life.
On this Thanksgiving my family
has so much to be Thankful for. Josh being at Carlbrook and
accepting Carlbrook is number one!
You deserve the best for
all that you do for families like mine. Thank you!
With eternal love and gratification,
Nancy
From the mom of a student planning to go to boarding-school
after completing a therapeutic boarding school program:
I am waiting to speak to Jason tonight. If he has truly
made his decision about which boarding school to attend after
you were able to present us with so many wonderful options
for him, then I am very happy. His main goal was to be close
to his family (aunts, uncles, cousins) who all live 45 minutes
from Cheshire Academy. Ahh! I can breathe!
Judi, thank u so
much again for all of this- I truly know I have not been
your easiest client, but I have truly been your happiest
thru the last 1½ years! — And
believe me, I know how hard you have worked on Jason’s
behalf.
I can promise you, I will be a lot easier for the
college search!
YOU’RE
THE BEST!
Gratefully,
Marlene
From a local college planning parent:
By the way, speaking of relaxing, that is why Jordan is
coming to you next. Your services offer so much peace
of mind, and for this we will always be grateful.
From a college-planning student:
Dear Judi,
I'm going to be a Northwestern University Wildcat next year!
I 'm so excited that one of my top schools accepted me and
I know it could not have happened without much of your invaluable
guidance. I may freeze, but I know I will enjoy every minute
of being a popcicle. One of my best friends is also going there so we
can be Florida girls in the snow together. Thank you,thank you, thank
you! I'm so excited, elated, and grateful. Thanks again for all your
help.
Sincerely, your very satisfied customer

From a Jupiter Christian parent, after a presentation about college-admission
secrets:
Thank you for coming to JCS last evening! That was
the most productive and informative meeting since our kids
started there many years ago!
From a parent after her daughter attended a therapeutic wilderness program:
Thanks
for the info and for all your wonderful help with our kids.
I have been really impressed with the wilderness program
Cathy went through. I think it really helped her at an important crossroads
time in her life that she will always remember. We would never have found
it without your help and advice. I really appreciate that my husband
hired you, I think it was an excellent decision and your advice has been
well worth the money. God bless you and your business.

From the mom of a tutoring client:
I have been wanting to write you
for some time now to let you know about the tests Allison
took that you tutored her on in AP Calculus, but end of the
year events have kept us crazy. The tutoring was for 2 particular
tests and Allison made an 85 and a 100. Basically no one makes 100 on
a test in her AP class and even her 85 was much higher than the biggest
majority of the students who took the test. I believe she told you how
very hard her AP Calc class is at Pine Crest (which is a very high academic
school) so she was jumping for joy when she received these two grades.
I believe she is finishing out the class with a B of 85 (thanks
to your final grades) but she is very happy about that. Now off to Georgetown
to try out their calculus class. Thanks again for all of
your help.
Sharon
From the mother of a top local student who has been tutoring with us
throughout his sophomore year:
Thought I would send an "end of the
year" update. Jack ended up not applying to any boarding schools
as we all decided we wanted him for these last 2 high school
years. He got into two top private schools in the county,
and tomorrow I plan to send in the check and register him for 3 APs,
2 honors classes, and Chinese.
We really appreciate all you and Score
at the Top have done. We appreciate the quality of your tutors;
Jack has been taking tutoring sessions in chemistry and math
which we believe is going to help him get 6 "A"s
and 1 B this semester.
I can't believe I have resisted tutoring
for so long, Jack loves it and it really helps. The tutors
are better than these two particular teachers and his math
tutor even found several errors on a test practice that she
gave to the entire class. Jack pointed it out and his teacher sent a
retraction to all her students.
Commendation by the SACS Quality Assurance Review Team:

From the Head of a boarding school in Pennsylvania:
As always, its a
great pleasure and an educational and enlightening experience
to spend time with the Robinovitzs', especially visiting
you both in the home office. Your continued success and growth are the
result of your professionally knowledge and experience of educating the
minds and hearts of your students; how fortune they are to have you and
your services.
From parents of local tutoring clients:
If any one needs a reference for Score At The Top - please mention my
name. We are THRILLED... Christian went from a 23 on his
first ACT... Then he took the prep course w/ you over the
summer and just scored a 28 on his 2nd try. We COULD NOT
BE HAPPIER!

Dear Cathy, I wanted to let
you know how pleased we are with Tracey’s tutor! Tracey arrived
for tutoring very frustrated, feeling like she did not understand
the material being taught in school. She is a visual learner
and gets lost in class lectures. She met her tutor for the first time
and they bonded immediately. After a 5-minute introduction they jumped
into math for the first hour and science for the second hour. The tutor
used props to help her understand the concepts. When I picked her up,
her tutor was so encouraging when told me “Tracey can do it; she
is smart and has the desire to learn!” What a relief! Tracey came
out and announced, “I have learned more in two hours at Score At
The Top than I have learned all year at school.” We have already
referred two other students to you and we will continue to
make referrals. See you next week!!

Dear Score At The Top Coral Springs,
Jan & I wanted to thank you for your guidance and expertise. Jan
was able to bring her SAT score up over 300 points to a 2330. We are
very pleased with her progress and thrilled with both you and her scores.
I just wanted to say thank you!
—
Dear Laura,
Thank you for taking so much time to speak with me this morning. Our
daughter said she really enjoyed working with you and that it was actually "fun"!!!
Music to our ears.

Jodi,
Thanks very much for your excellent tutoring. After taking the CLAST
at lest 10 times over the past 2 years, Chrity finally passed. :-)
Best Regards,
Bob P.
From a homeschooling parent:
I just wanted to say thank you very, very
much. I have never seen David enjoy school so much and look
forward to every day of classes with his teachers at Score
At The Top! I hope that some day I get the chance to do something
for you in an arena that you truly appreciate, because I really appreciate
everything you do to help David and me.
From a test-prep/college-planning client who attends a northern boarding
school:
Dear Barry & Judi, I am writing to thank you for all your
help on the SAT, ACT, and my college applications. You helped
me improve my writing by leaps and bounds and were always
so prompt in getting back to me. It all paid off when I found out from
Dartmouth that I got in! So thank you for helping me with everything!
Sincerely,
Susan B.
From a Wellington Equestrian Festival mom whose 6th grade daughter comes
down from Ohio to compete here during the season:
Sierra and
I have spent an incredible time in Florida. She has risen
to ALL OCCASIONS with sincere effort and a smile on her face — sometimes a scrunched
smile — but
always a smile! The tutorial team at Score At The Top has
been exceptional from every angle I have observed. The teamwork between
her teachers up north and Score at the Top’s team has worked incredibly
well to help Sierra‘s transition from home to Florida be seamless.
Emails from parents about our communication with them:
We love your
new online system for updating us after every one of Dan’s tutoring
sessions. Now we always know how he’s doing. Wish all schools would
do the same thing so parents would have a heads up before
things go wrong. Thanks for being so on top of keeping parents in the
loop!
—
So far we are very pleased with the specialized tutoring program for
our girls. We really enjoy the tracking program you’re using for
updates. Both girls have benefited immensely from the tutoring sessions;
they certainly feel more confident when taking tests — and are
getting the grades to prove it! Thanks for being so sensitive
to our needs.
—
Your tutors and your online tracking system are both EXCELLENT! Keep
it up!
—
Larry and I appreciate the feedback from you about Amanda’s progress.
We think the system of parent notification after each session
is great. Thanks for the detailed info.
—
Your notification system is a great idea for business and clients — very
clever and useful. I will soon be sending my younger daughter
to you!
From a law-school applicant:
Thank you so much
for editing my law-school-application essay. Your comments
definitely helped me improve and better detail my purpose.
I have attached the updated version, and would love more
of your editing!
Sincerely,
Jessie
