• “Excellent Teacher! My daughter took a few classes with Ms. Sushmita for her 5th grade CogAT exam. She really enjoyed classes with her and was always looking forward to them. Ms. Sushmita not only is an excellent teacher guiding my kid with how to approach the questions but also connected with my child so well. My daughter was disappointed knowing that the classes were coming to an end as she enjoyed solving the questions with the teacher. She is very efficient and guided my daughter with improving her analytical skills.”
• “Thank you Sushmita and Testing Mom! We used the private tutoring services of Testing Mom for our son to help him prepare for the CogAT exam.
• Our instructor was Sushmita. She turned out to be the perfect tutor for our son. Sushmita structured the learning based on my son\\'s strengths and weaknesses and it produced excellent results. Sushmita is very professional and very personable. She has a great knack of working with kids. She created a particularly good rapport with my son and my son looked forward to his classes with her.
