"The time I spent with Carol Martin was truly invaluable. As a successful student, I initially thought I would ace the SAT®; however, my first reading and writing scores were in the low 600's. I found Carol Martin only several weeks before my second SAT® test, but the limited time I spent with her made an enormous difference. Carol Martin was able to revolutionize the way I approached the SAT® with her fantastic grammar rules, essay design and vocabulary breakdown.  After only six tutoring sessions, I improved my reading and writing scores by more than 200 points, and greatly surpassed my dream of 700's on critical reading and writing!"

"I have known Mrs. Martin since I was age five; she was a teacher at a gifted and talented program that I attended on weekends. I always knew she had a penchant for cultivating talented minds, but I never could have fathomed how much her mastery of the SAT® could have helped me. I was never the student who scored high on standardized tests. After learning her words, implementing her strategies, and working one on one with her, my scores dramatically increased (I finished with a 790 on critical reading and 780 on writing) bringing my confidence to an all-time high. Carol not only taught me how to do well on the SAT®, but also planted the seed for a new way of thinking." .... Brown University

"I have known Carol Martin for several years. I knew Carol's methods were working when I wrote letters from summer camp using her words.  When I sat for the test and saw that all of the abstruse words from Carol's lists were on the exam, I was tranquil and prepared! Thanks to Seasmart Methods, I achieved 720 on CR and 800 on writing. Her methods were absolutely foolproof for me!  Carol Martin's Method has made me not only erudite, but also ebullient! ....

"I used to look at the SAT® with fear. The test in front of me resembled a foreign language. Carol brought the SAT® to life for me, teaching me how to assiduously tackle the test. I will keep what I have learned from Carol with me as I ascend on my educational journey, reaching goals that I would have never reached without Carol. With her help I have improved my scores on the SAT® over 500 points and I have achieved my dream of admission to a prestigious university .... The University of Pennsylvania !!"

"When I started preparing for the SAT®, I did poorly because I did not understand how to take the test.  After going to Carol week after week, my scores increased dramatically. As a result of Carol's methods, I did well on the SAT®. I was accepted into the colleges I have always dreamed of attending. The rules I have learned from Carol are ones that I will take with me to college and remember for the rest of my life."

"After months of work with several tutors from the Manhattan area and  months of  continuous scores in the 600s, I finally found Carol Martin, whose methods were entirely different from anything I had seen before. After studying the incredibly compact and well-structured vocabulary lists and various reading comprehension tricks provided by Seasmart Methods, my reading comprehension score finally broke 700.  Additionally, I was able to score an 800 on the writing, due to the new and exponentially more effective format I learned for the essay. With the invaluable help of Seasmart Methods, I achieved my dream of acceptance to Yale University and will be attending Yale in the fall."

"This year, for the Young Epidemiology Scholars Competition, I conducted a study on the health outcomes of H1N1 Novel Influenza A for various preventative factors. Carol served as an invaluable mentor throughout my entire research process. Carol not only helped me think of my project idea, but she also gave me pivotal advice on how to create my survey and distribute the questionnaire in order to get the maximum number of responses. In addition, Carol actively handed out  questionnaires and thus generated a significant amount of final data herself. For the writing process, Carol provided me with the appropriate resources and continued to oversee my project. One of these resources was an associate of Seasmart Methods who aided me in the preparation of graphs, statistical analysis, and scientific writing of the report. With the help of Carol and Seasmart Methods, I achieved my dream of becoming a semifinalist in this prestigious competition!"

"What lies ahead of me, I'm not entirely sure, but with unbounded certainty, I believe that the labyrinthine pathway of my existence holds infinite possibilities.  Seasmart Methods revolutionized the way in which I absorb the surfeit of knowledge that surrounds me and equipped me with the power to use my intelligence as a secret weapon. For me, Carol Martin turned nebulous comprehension into dignified certitude-and I couldn't be more appreciative.  Blake Frank - 800 writing"

"Thanks to Carol Martin's methods, I was able to raise my English SAT® scores from an initial 52 and 53 on the PSAT® for the reading and writing sections to 760 and 800 respectively.  As a result of the immense increase in my SAT® scores, in addition to Carol's tenacious support and advice for my college essays and resume, I was accepted to Harvard, Princeton and Yale last fall. I am now studying mathematics and economics at Yale."

"The Carol Martin Method helped me boost my SAT® score over 200 points with only a couple of face to face sessions and a few long distance telephone sessions!  Other big name companies weren't effective for me. There aren’t any complicated rules or conditional strategies; it’s simple, straightforward and it works. I should mention that the method isn’t limited to the SAT® at all, and in fact, I find myself using it on college exams as well. Now I’m having the best college life possible on a full ride at my top choice school: Wash U. I couldn’t have done it without Carol!"

“Carol Martin impressed me when I was as young as age seven. Back then, in a Saturday morning enrichment class, she taught me how to construct and explode a volcano. This year, I surpassed all my expectations while working with Carol as my SAT® tutor. Indubitably, by employing The Carol Martin Method, Carol’s comprehensive word lists, and her ingenious techniques, I improved my verbal proficiency and mastered the SAT® ( 800 on reading, 800 on writing ).  I have achieved an astounding improvement in my vocabulary. Carol has had an unwavering confidence in me and her fervent desire for me to excel gave me that extra boost of assurance before taking the test. Thanks to Carol, I will retain these skills throughout college and beyond!” .... University of Pennsylvania

"When I had begun my SAT® studies, I had met biweekly for four months with a tutor in my current town of Palm Beach, Florida. Despite the  investment of so much time and money with my original tutor, my scores had remained mediocre, if not substandard. I was discomfited, disappointed, and truly perturbed. A few months later, I discovered Carol Martin and her unparalleled, incredibly effective methods for taking the SAT®.  My scores rose astronomically and after just a handful of sessions over the phone with her, I reached the 700 range in both verbal sections. I had heard that Carol is the paragon tutor, but I could never have imagined the boundless confidence that she instilled in me through those very few, short tutoring sessions. Carol’s methods have not only enriched my vocabulary and cultivated my reading comprehension, but have also, unequivocally, prepared me for success in my future endeavors, college and beyond."

"Carol Martin’s methods are nothing short of magic.  She has analyzed nearly every test that has ever been published, and has compiled a list of tricks and strategies that almost never fail.  I remember walking into her office and hearing her list student after student who managed to gain admission to incredible Ivy League schools, and was completely in awe.  Carol told me I could do it but that I had to use all of her methods, from the vocab sheets to the poster boards.  I remember being a little skeptical because I didn't think it was possible.  But Carol was true to her word; thanks to her methods I achieved an 800 and 780 on the reading and writing sections of the PSAT® and an 800 on both for the SAT®.  Carol is the most successful tutor I have heard of, and thanks to her I was admitted to Yale."

"Carol Martin helped me increase my score on the Reading and Writing sections of the SAT® by a combined 350 points. The way Carol teaches the vocabulary is accessible and interesting. Her method of organizing all the words and grammar rules made it easy to understand and easy to learn. With her careful coaching, I raised my score from an original 189 on the PSAT® to a 2330 on the SAT®. She also helped me earn a 34 on the ACT® on my first try! I had always dreamed of going to a prestigious university, and with Carol’s help with my resume and college applications, I was able to get into all many top schools! Eleven colleges, including Cornell, Duke, Williams, Wash U, Middlebury, Johns Hopkins and  Vanderbilt offered me admission.  I have recommended Carol to countless friends, and I recommend her to you.

"When I started studying for the SAT®, I thought I would ace the test. However, I did not do as well as I thought I would do. Then I switched to Seasmart Methods. Carol started tutoring me and my scores immediately went up. After only five weeks of working with Carol, I went up 110 points on each section giving me a score beyond my goal! Additionally, I began to use my new Seasmart SAT® vocabulary in all of my essays, including those I wrote for my AP composition class. My teacher constantly complimented me on my word choices and gave me perfect scores on her rubric. Now I am considering schools I would never have dreamed of attending. Carol's method (Seasmart Methods) is the only way to take the SAT®'s." ... Colgate University

"It is difficult to put into words how indebted I am to Carol Martin.  Five months removed from the launch of my SAT® studies, I witnessed my scores remain static.  Thankfully, an inexplicable force brought Carol and me together and, after roughly three months with this astute mentor, my verbal and writing scores catapulted hundreds of points from my PSAT® levels! However, not only did my scores increase, but also my vocabulary and understanding of the English language improved dramatically. I am, indubitably, a more knowledgeable individual thanks to Carol. Furthermore, she is the chief reason why my long-term dream has become a wonderful actuality...Duke University!!!"

"Before learning the Seasmart Method, I didn't know how I could master the SAT®and the ACT®. With this method, I learned a plethora of grammar rules, over twenty specialized lists of vocabulary words and dozens of critical reading tips. My scores went up approximately 200 points on each section. Mastering the Seasmart Method, I am now able to consider colleges I was not able to previously consider. Also, I am able to take all of these skills and tips and use them in essays and papers for school. The "Method" has become automatic.  Using the five "big vocabulary words," essay starters and "kickers," I have raised my grades on English and history essays. By working tenaciously and using the Seasmart Method, I have learned rules and tips that will stay with me for many years. Unequivocally, this method is the best way to ace both tests" ... Cornell

"Seasmart Methods instruction elevated my verbal SAT® score by 400 points from my PSAT® score!

Living in Las Vegas, I was not able to have face-to-face sessions with Carol. Remarkably, phone sessions with Carol proved to be just as powerful!

There are no words to describe how grateful I am to Carol Martin. Well, actually there are...  Carol Martin is the resplendent impetus that has helped catapult me to a paramount pinnacle of preeminence. Thanks to Carol, my dream school is now a reality. Wash U, here I come!"

"Both of my twin brothers used Seasmart Methods and scored high enough on their SAT's® and ACT's® to get into AEM at Cornell.  My Mom attributed much of their standardized testing success to Carol Martin and accordingly, a few years in advance, reserved a spot with Carol for me. Now having achieved my stupendous goal on the SAT®, my family and I have ascertained that Seasmart Methods is a sure way to conquer what many consider a daunting examination. Not only did I learn the grammar rules and vocabulary words necessary to do well on the test, but also I walked away with stronger reading and writing skills and an expanded vocabulary that will lead me to achieve success long after my high school years. NMBTM! (Nothing matters but the Method ... always!)." ... Duke University
