Cardinal Education

“I scored at the 90th percentile in all sections on the ISEE, receiving admission into an elite private high school.”

“Our son got accepted to three highly competitive Bay Area independent high schools. Cardinal Education helped him improve in academics and develop his study, organizational, and test-taking skills. He is now a happy, organized, and successful high school student.”

“Cardinal Education helped our son develop new organizational skills and strategies which improved his overall school performance. This played out with tremendous improvement on his scores in the SSAT, ISEE, and HSPT tests. He was motivated to power through the additional exercises.”

“Our son was ultimately admitted to Stanford and we could not be happier with our decision to engage with Cardinal Education. The practice tests, exceptional tutors, well-developed study curriculum, and comprehensive support were of immense help. We are looking forward to working with Cardinal Education again in a few years for our younger daughter.”

“Patrick worked with our son on math and physics throughout high school and genuinely cared about his progress. He was patient and kind, but also firm when it mattered. The impact showed in our son’s confidence, his academics, and, ultimately, in his college admissions results. We could not recommend him more highly.” 07 / 07”

“I have worked with Vanessa for five years, and she has supported me in more ways than I can count. She truly understands my learning style, and I always look forward to our sessions. I’m grateful and feel assured to have her with me.” 06 / 07”

“Patrick has worked with both of my children, each with different learning styles and needs, through honors and AP math and science. He helped one build the foundation to pursue a STEM major at Stanford and gave the other the structure and confidence to succeed in challenging courses. We are so grateful for what he built in both of them.” 05 / 07”

“Working with Solomon made a tremendous difference for my daughter. Beyond academic coaching, he became a true mentor, building her confidence and study habits. His ability to balance high standards with genuine encouragement helped her achieve an ‘A’ in AP U.S. History, a result we hadn’t thought possible. We are incredibly grateful for his positive impact on her academic and personal growth.” 04 / 07”

“Physics this year was a real challenge, but Patrick helped our daughter get through it, and we could not be more thankful. He has a way of keeping students engaged and on track no matter the subject. We are so grateful for everything he did, and we are already planning to work with him again for our son’s geometry class.” 03 / 07”

“Vanessa supported our daughter through a major transition from public to private school and was with us every step of the way. Her approach is fully customized and rooted in drawing out each student’s natural abilities rather than reshaping them. She has a rare gift for building confidence, and our daughter is better for having worked with her. She is simply the best.” 02 / 07”

“I started working with Patrick mid-sophomore year while struggling in math. He helped me turn my grades around, fill in the gaps in my knowledge, and guided my course selection going into junior year. With his encouragement, I finished my Junior year with an A in Precalculus Honors and a high B in AP Physics. Patrick has a real gift for explaining things in ways that click, and he helped me build stronger study habits along the way. My GPA went from a 3.3 to a 4.1 in a single year. I’m incredibly thankful for his support.” 01 / 07”
