“Not only did they go out of their way to help me raise my SAT score, perfect my college apps, and build a professional, impressive portfolio… they also helped me realize my potential, goals, and discover my true self.”

“Cindy has mentored my daughter over the past year, helping her with her college applications and essays. In particular, her vocabulary has improved ten-fold. She was accepted to Wheaton and Connecticut College, largely because of her work with Cindy. The SAT prep she did with Cindy was creative, hands-on, and personal which inspired my daughter to really reach for the stars.”
Iris Klein, Wildwood and Wheaton Parent
“While searching for an SAT tutor, I met with many tutoring companies while seeking the right place for me. When I discovered Rainbow, I fell in love! After my first few sessions with Cindy, I was actually excited about the SAT. Something unique about Rainbow is that they identify hundreds of different math problems on the test, and split them up into groups, called “ID tags.” This means they have grouped the similar types of problems together, creating a specific name for each group. In every session, the students are introduced to new ID tags. They learn how to tackle, and identify these problems, and practice them repetitively until the skill is mastered. Rainbow has made the SAT feel easy for me because they have given me confidence. I highly recommend them!”
Kayla Javaheri, Hofstra and Wildwood School Graduate
“Cindy Chanin is at the helm of Rainbow, a creative and ingenious program. The emphasis of her program is about the whole child, homing in on each students’ goals and helping them achieve their goals by minimizing the stress of the college application process. Learning is intrinsically fun and test taking is less stressful through Cindy’s holistic approach. The academic tutoring, lead by Ivy League graduates, was an immense help in enabling my son to decipher the questions on the SAT. I highly recommend Rainbow for any age child or adult who is looking to learn more about themselves and become more successful academically and in developing their real personal goals.”
Vida Simon, Crossroads School Parent
“My daughter, Aja Bivens, worked with Cindy from her freshmen year through her senior year of high school. With Cindy’s extra guidance and recommendations through the rigors of her academic coursework, Aja was able to do very well throughout her high school years. Each year showed an improvement with her study skills as well as her grades. Cindy was able to teach Aja so that she fully understood her subjects and was confident in taking her tests. Aja also took Cindy’s prep courses for her SAT testing and she began these courses during the second half of her sophomore year and continued until the end of her junior year. Because she started well in advance, she was very prepared for the official SAT testing and was able to improve her scores by over 600 points from where she started. Cindy also worked with Aja to create vivid and poignant personal statements and unique essay supplements that very much set her apart in the college application process. Her applications, along with her excellent SAT scores and a strong GPA, allowed Aja to gain admittance to her dream school, New York University.”
Madeline Loef, Marymount and NYU Parent
“I want to give my highest personal recommendation to Rainbow for their individualized and personal attention to their students and for their commitment to overall “guidance.” I researched all of the centers and spoke to many of the prep centers and private tutors. The SAT class Aliza took far exceeded my expectations. I am happy to speak to anyone from SAMOHI who may be interested in Rainbow.”
Karen Rappaport, Cal and Santa Monica High School Parent and Girl Scout Troop Leader, Former Admissions Director for Amhsi Teen Study Abroad Program
“My test-taking skills were poor from the get go. However, after taking an SAT course with Rainbow, I had learned so many tricks to the SAT, improved in timing, and obtained a better sense of how to study for the exam. None of this would have been possible without guidance from Cindy and my SAT teachers. Their teaching methods were creative, helpful, and genuinely fun! I now feel much more confident in my ability to take a test.”
Noa P., Wildwood School Graduate
“Working with Rainbow has been one of the best and most worthwhile experiences of my life. Cindy and her team offer more than just tutoring; they are role models, leaders, and mentors. Not only did they go out of their way to help me raise my SAT score; perfect my college apps; and build a professional, impressive portfolio for myself; but they also helped me realize my potential, goals, and discover my true self. With Rainbow’s help, goals I never thought I could achieve are now likely attainable and conceivable. I believe without a doubt I would not be where I am today without their tremendous support and inspiration. There is definitely a pot of gold at the end of this Rainbow!”
Allie Burke, William & Mary and Louisville High School Graduate
