"My name is Brendan Buckley and I am the Executive Director at Beat the Streets, a sports-based youth development organization in all five boroughs of New York City. At BTS, we work with students in many neighborhoods that do not have access or the resources required to receive the type of academic support required to attend many quality universities both in and out of New York state. As a result, we began a working relationship with Brian and his team at Succeed Prep and the results have been very positive. First, Succeed Prep works very well with our needs and the schedule of our students and staff to deliver test prep and tutoring. Secondly, the results have been outstanding - SAT scores increased an average of 100 points while Regents Test scores increased an average of 20 points. Furthermore, we now have students that are attending prestigious universities such as the University of Virginia, NYU and many of the best SUNY campuses. I would highly recommend Succeed Prep for any individuals or groups looking to benefit from educational support."

“You definitely helped me improve on every section, but the
most drastic change in scores was an 18 in math (on the first practice test) to
a 29 on my last ACT.”
- Guy B., Solomon Schecter Class of 2019
“Hi Brian,
I just want to let you know I received my scores from the
February ACT today. I got a 31 composite score compared to my original 24 in
December! Thank you so much for all of your help!”

“Brian worked with my son throughout his junior year on his
SAT prep. He established early on that he would have more success on that test
and he raised his score about 300 points from his first attempt. Brian made the
test preparation experience as pleasant as it could be. He was so
knowledgeable, patient and easy to work with.”
- Kelly C., Irvington Parent
“My son worked with Brian to prepare for the math section of
the SAT. In six short weeks, Brian helped my son fill in all the gaps, so that
he was able to sit confidently for the exam, and achieve his target score. We
will definitely hire Brian again for other standardized tests.”
- Suzanne S. Rye Parent
“Brian is amazing! Worked with him for both of my boys for
college prep and for high school math. My boys would ask for Brian. He is very
patient, identifies quickly what the areas of weakness are and targets them and
gets great results. He is such a nice guy and so easy to work with that I have
no hesitation recommending him to others.”
- Elaine G., Edgemont Parent
“We worked with Brian for one on ones-- top notch! It was
great to have Brian come to our home and work with our daughter. Convenient,
personalized attention and tailoring to exactly what the student needs is
huge!! No wasting time! We had a fantastic experience!”
- Jen O., Rye Parent
“Great tutor and great person. He applies his knowledge to
real life situations to make learning easier and more interesting. Very patient
and flexible in effort to help his students.”
- Chris C., Irvington Student
“Brian is awesome. He
is not only enthusiastic about teaching but also has set up strategies for each
student. He has always checked progress
after the lesson and set the next target based on the progress, so that
students can surely proceed with his assignments.”
- Hisamitsu H., Bronxville Parent
“My fifth-grader wound up taking a small group SHSAT class
with some seventh-grade friends. Brian and the instructors were great in
teaching the material and in providing feedback. She always looked forward to
the sessions and was excited to tell me about the new concepts she had just
learned. If your child needs a disciplined, organized approach to preparing for
an exam, Succeed Test Prep can surely lead the way.”
