What our student's say
I have been trained for SAT at Proper Choice, trainers are not only friendly but also extremely well qualified and helpful. They taught me how to analyze and solve questions in limited time
“ Trainers at proper choice are highly experienced. They taught me many new and effective ways to solve both Math and English problems. Their ideas and concepts not only helped me in SAT but also in my school studies. Because of them, I am getting highest marks in school ”
As a student who has never done the SAT, I was really satisfied with the training with the tutors. They provided many tips that can aided me in understanding certain concepts in the SAT, and provided advice in how to tackle the test.
“ Before joining at Proper Choice, I was very weak in Math. Mr. Srikant helped me a lot and introduced with new and simple techniques to solve any math questions in limited time. I also really improved in English ”
Thumbs up to both Trainers
