“We've used many test prep services over the years and Naomi was always the best. She was thoughtful, kept us informed and was always eager to identify what was best for our child. The tutors our kids have used have always been supremely qualified, communicative and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend this group!”

Parent, Branson School Class of 2020

“Wonderful experienced tutoring! Swell Education is organized, professional and effective. My child enjoys working with her tutor and feels her time is well spent. We are only in the early stages of the test-taking process and my child has already made amazing progress.”

Parent, Branson School Class of 2020

“Naomi and her highly qualified tutors understand the needs of the students and tailor the tutoring to meet those needs. They teach strategies that provide the students with skills necessary to tackle the standardized tests with confidence and positive attitude, which ultimately leads to achieving their goals. Thank you!”

Parent, Branson School Class of 2020

“There comes a point on the SAT where it is less about learning the material and more about learning how to take the test. In my opinion, that is where Swell shines. Swell taught our son the intricacies of the exam, so he made fewer careless mistakes. He is very happy with his scores now and credits his tutor for the bump!”

Parent, Branson School Class of 2020

“As a parent I appreciate how Swell works directly with students efficiently and effectively - my daughter took responsibility for her work and scheduling with her tutor and ultimately made real improvement and achieved considerable results.”

Parent, Brentwood Class of 2020

“Swell was great! Our tutor was both supportive and specific with her feedback and encouragement.”

Parent, Convent Class of 2020

“Swell has been a fantastic group to work with for both my middle school daughter taking the SSAT and my high school son taking the ACT. They make fantastic matches for kids and tutors, and are very flexible with schedules. And our scores came up tremendously on the first pass! They are also so communicative, getting back to my emails almost instantly. I would highly recommend Swell to anyone.”

Parent, Convent Class of 2020

“Naomi and Swell are AMAZING! Their ability to connect with students and work strategically to support them is unparalleled. The results speak for themselves---my daughter's confidence and scores skyrocketed with Naomi's help. They are the best in SF!”

Parent, Lick-Wilmerding Class of 2020

“Swell did a great job of providing tutoring and also worked hard to figure out our student's schedules and demands.  Both of our tutors were very knowledgeable and able to provide beneficial test tutoring.  Our biggest challenge was finding the tutor that best fit with our student's learning style.  Once we focused on one tutor for all subject areas, there was significant improvement.”

Parent, Lick-Wilmerding Class of 2020

“Experience was good.  I particularly liked the one on one tutors versus a class.   In our case our daughter needed more specific focus on her shortcomings and weaknesses for this exam.”

Parent, Lick-Wilmerding Class of 2020

“Swell is so responsive and helpful. I don't think I have ever had to wait more than a couple of hours for a response to an email. Simply amazing.”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“Tutoring with Swell greatly improved my daughter’s confidence.”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“Easily the best and most professional tutoring service we have ever used. Swell provided constant feedback along the way and truly customized their approach for our son’s unique needs. Highly recommend!”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“Swell is fantastic.  My daughter's scores have improved dramatically with the help of Swell.”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“Swell is terrific.  Naomi is always responsive- any day of the week and very professional.  Our tutor was a great fit and helped our child get great results.”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“Our tutor was clear, informative and beyond helpful. He set a very detailed schedule for our child and gave her a game plan she could follow. I highly recommend Swell.”

Parent, Marin Academy Class of 2020

“The tutoring was excellent. My girls learned math concepts they had not yet studied in school that were covered on the test, as well as techniques for deciphering what the test question is really asking. The test can seek to trick the taker so having a set of strategies - and the confidence to apply hem - was invaluable. Finally, they got a lot of practice and went in without a lot of anxiety. That was invaluable too!”

Parent, Mark Day School Class of 2020

“Our tutor has been great - attentive, on time, easy to schedule and extremely helpful and effective!”

Parent, Redwood HS Class of 2020

“Our tutor is fabulous! He truly cared about our student's success and recognized the importance of building confidence and emotional readiness, on top of the academic readiness. He took time to answer our questions about the process and provided extra materials whenever we needed them. He is a great resource, and we were lucky to have worked with Swell!”

Parent, Redwood HS Class of 2020

“My son is not a great test-taker but left the testing session feeling confident. That is a win because before Swell, when he took the test, he left feeling defeated.”

Parent, Redwood HS Class of 2020

“Our experience with Swell Education was excellent. We reached out a little late in the year and Naomi was able to assign us a tutor relatively quickly. Our tutor turned out to be a perfect for our son - calm, patient, friendly and always with a ready laugh for his time in our home. He really made learning fun and our child was always really eager for his time with his tutor. We received written feedback after each lesson and there was always follow-up from the office after each practice test. Thanks for everything!”

Parent, Saints Peter and Paul School Class of 2020

“Excellent response time from Naomi with any questions we had. Excellent emails with descriptions of testing materials needed and everything else needed for tutoring sessions and practice tests. Great experience overall! Our tutor was very helpful, very sharp and worked with my son very well! I think he motivated my son to do well and he also helped with his current math class!"

Parent, Sir Francis Drake Class of 2020

“Our tutor took the time to understand the student and created a tutoring program that personalized the experience. We gained an 8 point improvement in his ACT score.”

Parent, Sir Francis Drake Class of 2020

“Look no further! Swell has fabulous tutors! We used Swell for academic tutoring when our daughter needed additional help and her tutor was extremely helpful. Her test prep tutor prepared our daughter so well that she exceeded our/her expectations in her SAT scores.”

Parent, St Ignatius Class of 2020

“We have used Swell for SAT tutoring as well as math tutoring for my daughter who is a Junior in high school.  My daughter has really enjoyed working with both tutors, has commented on how much she is learning from both, but most importantly, we have seen positive results in both her SAT test scores, as well as her grade in her school math class.  I have nothing but praise for Naomi and her tutors at Swell.”

Parent, St Ignatius Class of 2020

“High school students should get some help from Swell tutors in preparing for the ACT test. We started few weeks before the third ACT test, a bit late. But the scores have improved so much!! Thanks to the tutor’s help.”

Parent, The Bay School Class of 2020

“We’ve had two kids work with Swell and both had amazing results.  Naomi is incredibly responsive!”

Parent, University HS Class of 2020

“I like Naomi’s responsiveness and willingness to jump on a call, give input etc. I liked that the relationship didn’t change whether we were thinking about tutoring, during tutoring or after tutoring.  I very much appreciated the attention, honestly and knowledge she imparted.  Even though I know you have a lot of clients, I never felt like it was a big shop and that was perfect for us.”

Parent, University HS Class of 2020.

“We are thoroughly impressed with Swell and their tutors. They provide excellent feedback after every assessment test and tutoring session. This information helped us track our child's progress and set our expectations accordingly. We saw solid improvement in test scores and final outcomes that aligned with his academic strengths.”

Parent, University HS Class of 2020

 “I'm really impressed with the followup and care from your group.  Really impressive.”
