Lyon Prep Academy

Overall: Professional, easy to talk to, patient, great listener, really understand the child and their skill level and how to help the child to the next step.
Brandon, my son Skype with Mark who was in Vietnam. All schedules was planned ahead but Mark was flexible if changes in schedule occurred. Brandon did horrible in the first SSAT, went to a 85−90% range within 3 months. What I was most impress with is the patience he takes with Brandon to walk through the logic and critical thinking aspect of each question. Highly recommend Mark regardless where he might be. Skype is easy and Mark is gem.

Mark has helped me to improve my SAT ‘s score. I have a mild experience with SAT before coming to Lyon Prep. Since English is not my first language, I have come to struggle with the writing and the reading section of SAT test. However, with great advice from Mark, I have been able to boost my writing score, up to 800 and get over 630 for my reading score. I wish I had known Mark earlier so that I would even improve greater my reading score.

I first want to disclose that I’m related to the proprietor of this business, but he didn’t ask me to write this review and I wouldn’t do so if I didn’t know what a fantastic teacher he is. It actually helps that I knew Mark before he started Lyon Prep Academy because I witnessed the years he spent teaching for other top tier academies, developing his own curriculum, and pursuing his academic degrees (including math and teaching English as a foreign language). I’ve seen how well he interacts with students, and the care and pride he puts into his work.
I couldn’t recommend Mark more, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Lyon Prep already has two other reviews, but Unilocal is currently filtering them for some reason. Click «read 2 filtered reviews» below for the goods.

Lyon Prep was recommended by a friend in church. She, in fact, has a son, who very well can read, write & do origami. I enquired & was informed about this academy. My niece RED (Rhian Eliana Delphine) according to her instructor should already be reading children’s books. Through Mark’s tutelage, Red improved a lot & now enjoys reading books not only hard bound but online as well.
