Julia Bourdon
Julia Bourdon joined the BESTPREP team in September, 2022, with four years of experience tutoring middle/high school math and three years of SAT/ACT math. Her favorite part of tutoring is helping students find strategies that work for them, but if she had to pick a favorite part of math, it would be solving the puzzle. She loves a challenge. Whenever she can, she enjoys going to the mountains and taking every opportunity to explore.

She was an English/writing/reading/ study skills instructor at Sandhills Community College, Central Piedmont Community College, and, most recently, Mitchell Community College.

Testimonials
BESTPREP was highly recommended to us and we certainly understand why! Our son enjoyed working with Dane. He encouraged him to work hard and helped him reach his full potential with the SAT. Thank you BESTPREP for helping our son take this big step with confidence. -Thanks, Robin (September 2021)
"I started BESTPREP before my first SAT, and my scores in reading and writing and math all went up over a hundred points from my pre-SAT, landing me in the 1330 range. My tutor, Alex Stewart, not only went over the basics of how to do the problems but also taught my class what types of problems would be common on the SAT and what we should expect going in. Extremely helpful for any high schoolers looking to prepare for their SAT!" —S. Ross (2019 and 2020)
"...I took the SAT Test Prep class to prepare for the March 2018 SAT. On the December 2017 SAT, I got a 1200 which was way below what I was expecting, so I decided to look into classes and one of my good friends recommended you guys. It couldn’t hurt to try it out and man was I glad I did. I got a 1320! I was very impressed with how much I increased and it was all because of the class teaching me how to take the test. It wasn’t just, “here’s how to do 2+2”, the class taught me how the test was structured and how you should take it, which was incredibly beneficial. Thank you so much again for a wonderful class!" —M. Rizzo (March 2018)
"Kudos to BESTPREP for giving Matthew the tools he needed to increase his score by 100 points. I am recommending Best Prep LKN to anyone that asks me about an SAT/ACT prep course." —J. Baer (August 2017)
