“We don’t live very close to Dr. Gagnon’s office, but I have driven each of my three children to work with her for SAT preparation. There are many classes and tutors much closer, but I knew after the first lessons with my first child that I would have to put convenience aside for what was more important. Dr. Gagnon tailors instruction to the individual need and produces the best possible results for each student. “ -Ms. Barbara Lebson, parent, Pikesville, MD
