I was Maryam’s student for almost
three years and her guidance
was instrumental in my success.
With her support, I achieved
several milestones, including
being accepted into the highly
competitive Telluride Program
and ultimately earning a full-ride
scholarship to the University of
Miami for my undergraduate studies.
Maryam’s expertise and mentorship made a profound
impact on my academic journey, and I am incredibly
grateful for her support.
Jenny Hong, University of Miami, Class of 202
Maryam was an incredible tutor,
and I’m so grateful for her
guidance throughout the
standardized testing process.
Her test-taking strategies were
clear, effective, and easy to apply,
helping me significantly boost my
scores. Thanks to her expertise, I
scored well into the 1500s on my SAT and achieved
National Merit Scholar status. I highly recommend
her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and skilled
tutor!
Nishka Iyer, 2024 SAT Coaching Student
As a student from Denmark, I
never imagined I’d have a shot at
an Ivy League
school—especially since the
admissions process is so
different from what I was used
to. Maryam helped me craft a
compelling application that truly
stood out, and now I’m a proud
student at Harvard University. I couldn’t
have done it without her!
Callie Banks, Harvard Class of 2026
Without a doubt, Maryam was one
of the best college advisors I
have ever worked with. She
made it easy for me to go
through the editing process for
essays, pick the best schools for
me, and understand how each
essay will affect me in the
process. I can proudly say I am
happy at my current college thanks to
Maryam, and it is in the top 15 colleges for my major, if
that counts as well. All in all, she was the best!
Jamie Davis, Caltech Class of 2028
Affirm Education was
instrumental in my graduate
school application journey. The
personalized coaching I
received for my standardized
tests was exceptional, and the
continuous support throughout
the entire process made a
significant difference. Thanks to
their guidance, I received offers from my
top-choice schools, along with scholarships — a true
testament to the strength of my applications. I
wholeheartedly recommend Affirm Education to
anyone aspiring to pursue higher education.
Gimbiya Dorcas, Carnegie Mellon University, Class of 2028
Maryam was an exceptional SAT
tutor for our daughter. Her deep
understanding of the material
and the testing process,
combined with her excellent
teaching and communication
skills, made a significant
difference. She shared valuable
tips and strategies, kept our
daughter motivated, and ensured
consistent progress. Thanks to Maryam’s guidance,
our daughter not only gained confidence but also
surpassed her target score. We highly recommend
her to any student seeking outstanding SAT
preparation!
Mr. Prashanth Narayanaswamy, parent of a 2025 Affirm Student
We are incredibly grateful for the
outstanding support Maryam
provided with our son's SAT
preparation and college essays.
The college application process
initially felt overwhelming, but
Maryam's personalized
approach made all the difference.
She took the time to understand
our son's story, offering thoughtful
feedback and expert guidance every step of the way.
The result was a set of essays that were heartfelt,
authentic, and beautifully written. On the SAT front,
Maryam's strategic approach and in-depth
knowledge were invaluable. She equipped our son
with effective problem-solving strategies and kept
him motivated, leading to a significant improvement
in his score. Her professionalism, dedication, and
ability to connect with students are truly exceptional.
We highly recommend Maryam to any family seeking
comprehensive and compassionate support for SAT
prep and college admissions. Thank you once again,
Maryam, for your unwavering dedication and
encouragement!
