“My scores jumped by over 250 points (from my first attempt) after doing the SAT prep with Ms. Swati at Bridges International. She was extremely helpful – especially solving test papers in class made me more confident when going for the actual test……The teaching is very thorough and personal. Miss Swati is everything you are looking for if you want to give the SAT. The classes are not only interactive but also well organized and target oriented.”

In this ever-growing, fast and competitive world, the pressures and demands made on students to “succeed” at school and get admission into the best or the most highly ranked colleges are tremendous. Students feel daunted, overwhelmed, and fatigued going from school to class and preparing for one exam to the next.

Therefore, my mission is to make learning interactive, engaging, and fun so that students feel relaxed and look forward to learning, which in turn fuels a greater motivation to learn.

We not only teach test strategies which are crucial, but also teach the core fundamental academic and test taking skills so that students can excel and reach their score goal.

“I was very apprehensive about taking the SAT because I had only two months to prepare for my SAT and ACT, but I found the perfect guide, and that made it possible for me to get acquainted with the portion and the test in a short span of time. Not only did Miss Swati teach exceptionally well, but she also always reminded me to have fun and be a good person. I never got stressed because Ms. Swati’s classes were well-paced, and I also got enough practice. Overall, I was satisfied and pleased to learn from Miss Swati, and I believe she was the perfect mentor to guide me through my preparation time”

“It’s hard to put into words the experience I have had in the past few months. It has been so much fun just learning about all these various aspects to something as mundane as SAT. To be completely honest, I was expecting a lot more work and a lot less fun coming into this, but I am leaving feeling as if I have grown as a person. I really hope that students continue to gain this experience from you. I really liked that you could be honest, open, and truthful with us. It made us feel that we were equals, even in a classroom setting… I was very content with the way everything was taught, and I am left feeling more confident in myself.“

“Overall, I am incredibly happy with how the classes went and the level of support I received. I appreciate that you accommodated my college applications, especially with our class timings and taking breaks. I also really appreciate the constant help you provided as a coach and mentor, and your words of support and encouragement kept me focused and committed even when I was tired and could not ask for more. Additionally, I am grateful that you supported me with classes and advice throughout the day and until the last minute before the exam.“

“Her coaching included not just the principles of grammar, vocabulary lists, useful tips, and strategies but also the right dose of motivation and discipline. What is remarkable is that while Ms. Swati makes sure her student does her work on time, she also encourages time-out and fun-filled activities for relaxation. Her sessions were comfortable, intensive and score-enhancing. I truly recommend Miss Swati to anyone wanting coaching for any of the admission tests.“

"This PSAT class was a good alternative class...At first I thought about preparing for PSAT along with my 10th (I.C.S.E.) class would be too much but my apprehension proved to be wrong. I have learnt several things which have helped me in English and Maths, which I had never thought about. Hospitality is marvelous – it feels like you are at home, and I personally thank you for that, Miss Swati. I even loved the way you kept me comfortable and at the same time disciplined during classes. By my personal experience you are the best tuition teacher I have ever come across! "

Dear Ms Swati, I have really enjoyed all your SSAT classes. To add to that is the way that you have made me understand different topics and made sure that I will do well in my upcoming SSAT exam. You have always been funny, and I will never forget the names we came up with.. Thanks for everything that you have taught me. You never gave up on me even after seeing my results."

Ms Swati you have been outstanding in shaping Zenia to be a confident IELTS student and teaching her Math. Zenia has overcome her learning difficulties to tackle her fear of Maths and come to enjoy numbers which she never did!! You taught her in a way she found easy and most interesting and she never missed an opportunity to be at your class. I truly appreciate your patience, efforts, and kindness in molding Zenia to face her future. A heartfelt Thank you.

"Overall, I thought that the classes were highly beneficial in my SAT prep, and I would not have gained the same proficiency and confidence through other means. The classes themselves were very productive, and I was able to get all my doubts cleared. I also appreciate how accommodating and understanding you were. The most valuable part of our classes was when I was able to clarify my reasoning with you and practice approaching questions systematically. Being able to discuss the logic and reasoning behind the questions was extremely helpful in my test prep. On that note, I also really appreciate how you simplified the test into various question types and strategies for both the reading and grammar sections. I found this simplification immensely helpful for me, and I wish more teachers were as attentive and thorough in that regard. I also really appreciate the attention and care you provided throughout our classes. In addition, I appreciate how accommodating and empathetic you were with my summer program and changing your schedule to give me a break. Lastly, I liked how you constantly tracked my progress and focused directly on my weaknesses. In conclusion, I would recommend Ms. Swati because of her close attention to students and her engaging teaching and thorough curriculum."
