Scott Sherman has tutored both of my high school juniors for ACT prep and for AP classes. Scott, as well as everyone that we have worked with at MLB, has been incredibly helpful, very accessible, flexible and accommodating. They have worked with us to add additional sessions the day before testing when needed, have made quick scheduling changes to accommodate my children’s busy schedules with work snd athletic obligations. When needed, Scott has even made changes to the courses in which they need additional attention, even when that requires switching tutors. Concerning ACT prep, one of my children has improved his ACT score by 5 points within just a few months. Scott and the staff at MLB genuinely care about my children and go out of their way in communications to be sure my children are excelling academically and reach their greatest potential.
Scott Sherman and the entire staff of Mary Lee Bunch are professional and dedicated teachers. The extra care, attention & kindness they have shown, throughout my child’s time at MLB, has greatly impacted his future in a positive way. I would highly recommend Mary Lee Bunch to any parent who is looking for an alternative, safe, one on one, learning experience for their child. Truly, if I could give this business 10 stars, I would!! Fondly, Beth Brush
Scott and his staff are amazing! We moved to Nashville from Michigan mid semester and my son would of lost high school credits if it wasn't for Mary Lee Bunch. My son not only made up the credits but has thrived there. He was just accepted to a private school starting his junior year this Fall. We can't thank Scott and his wonderful staff enough! They have set my son on a path to success!
We used Jay for my daughter's tutoring for her ACT several times. He gave her some useful tricks to help her bring up her test score. The first time we used him, they focused on several areas. Then, the second time he focused on her lowest test grades. She brought up her score all areas by several points!!! He was very flexible with her schedule and professional when helping her. He also assisted her with her college entrance essays. This was very helpful since she didn't even know where to start. I would and have recommended Jay to anyone needing help with their ACT exam or their college essays. He was GREAT!!!
TL;DR: My son's ACT score on the math section increased 4 points thanks to Jay! (For more information, read below.) My son got a good ACT score during the spring of his junior year, but his math score was not as high as it needed to be for someone who wants to major in engineering--his major of choice. I reached out to a dear friend who has used MLB tutors with her children for years, and she suggested that I reach out to Jay to help my son with his math score. I contacted Jay and we initially talked by phone. After describing my son's strengths/areas of need and performance in school and on the ACT, he said something to the effect of, "I have worked with students like him before and this is what I think is going on..." To my surprise, Jay then accurately described what was leading to the discrepancy between my son's math grades and his math ACT score. (After Jay met with my son the first time, he confirmed that his suspicions were correct.) My son met with Jay via Zoom because our family is being super cautious about COVID, and, in all honesty, it's so much more convenient to not have to drive 1/2 hour one-way for sessions. (In addition, my son was a tad resistant to doing ACT tutoring, so I wanted to make it all as easy as possible.) My son, like most teenagers, is pretty unimpressed with most adults, but he really liked Jay. He was not at all resistant to meeting with Jay and readily completed any practice work Jay assigned him. After several sessions, Jay said he thought my son was ready to take the ACT again and do well on it. I was a bit nervous because I found it hard to believe he had made that much progress in a relatively short period of time--but I figured I needed to trust the process. Once again, Jay proved that he knows what he's talking about because my son just got the results from the ACT he took on September 11th, and his math score went up 4 points. HOLY COW! That's a big freaking deal. In summary, I highly recommend using Jay for any tutoring needs you might have. I will definitely be using him again when my daughter starts prepping for the ACT in a few years. Thanks, Jay!
