I have known Sharon as a fellow educator and as someone who is very dedicated to understanding the dynamics and complexities of the various high-stakes tests, and who delivers truly impressive results with them.

     Beyond that -- she cares, and truly wants her students to succeed. She is my first rec for my current students who need SAT/ACT/AP English support.  

Highly recommend.

Sharon clearly and quickly identified my daughter’s needs and tailored instruction to address these deficits… WOW… this yielded a gain in all subject areas, increasing her total ACT composite score! A very valuable and beneficial experience!

The feedback you gave me on my college essay was second to none.  Seriously, no one helped me as much, and no one showed the same genuine interest in what I had to say. 

God bless!

My oldest is a former student of Mrs. Manassa in AP English. His year in her class made a marked advancement in his writing skills. Her dedication and expertise made all the difference and was instrumental in his success on the AP Exam (he scored a 5).
When I needed help with my youngest's college essay, Mrs. Manassa spent the time and really helped him improve a poorly written essay into a fantastic essay!
I would highly recommend University Prep Genius to anyone who wants help with your college entrance essay or prepping for your ACT/SAT.

     If you are searching for someone to really help your child improve their SAT/ACT scores, I would highly recommend University Prep Genius.  Our son had difficulty reading comprehension and writing and was told he missed something in his learning between 4th and 5th grade.  Consequently, he scored low on his PSAT and SAT in the area of comprehension and the SAT written essay.  This summer, someone referred us to University Prep Genius, they looked over his previous test scores and zeroed in on the areas he needed the most help.

They developed a plan for him and worked with him throughout the summer.  When he took his last SAT, his written essay score improved from a 2 to a 6 out of 8!  We cannot tell you how much this tutoring has helped him.  Not only did we find Sharon to be a brilliant lady who knows her stuff, but she is also a very patient and kind person who goes the extra mile to really help.  Our son really enjoyed working with her as well.

     I would highly recommend her services. Thank you, University Prep Genius!

Thank you for being an amazing teacher!  You have strengthened my curiosity and willingness to learn.  You have been a wonderful example of kindness, patience, and leadership.  Your example inspires me every day to be the best person I can be, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
