Testimonials

My daughter had spent months with another highly respected SAT/ACT review course. After her second set of lower than expected scores we didn’t know what to do. Although an excellent student, she could not master a standardized test.. A friend had recommended Brian. After one session he was able to recognize her needs and fine- tuned her lessons so she was able to accomplish her goal. Needless to say, she got into her dream school and had a most successful freshman first semester.

I wasn’t looking forward to studying for the SAT and put it off until my father forced me to get started. Luckily Brian was not your normal tutor (I have others for other subjects). He is a cool guy and I felt really comfortable with him. I learned that I have what it takes to do well on the SAT and Brian made me feel confident about myself. I couldn’t have done it without him. He was the perfect tutor for me.

I want to thank you for helping Ryan reach his potential. I think you really gave him the confidence to perform his best. So happy he’s done! Thank you so much! You were the perfect tutor for Ryan!!!

The whole experience was not only instructive but also intellectually stimulating. I could feel myself growing stronger on each of the subjects and even had some fun while doing it!

I was talking to Khalil about the school year he just completed and in the conversation we discussed his teachers.  You may be pleased to know that he used you as a reference saying, and I quote “If all the schools teachers were like Brian there would be flying cars and time travel, his students would be inspired to achieve such things….” ?

Brian was an amazing tutor who provided my daughter excellent guidance on how to go about tackling the ACT. His instruction was clear and effective, but more than that, he was a calming source for her during a stressful time. She went up 7 points from her original practice test!! Good luck to all of you!

Brian gave me extremely useful strategies for approaching questions on the SAT, especially in the Critical Reading Section. For Math, he showed me really useful shortcuts that were very reliable and helped me to manage my time effectively. Most importantly, he gave me the confidence to succeed on this test. I would recommend him to anyone. He made a very stressful process manageable and I was more than happy with the results.

He taught my son many effective test taking strategies as well as reviewed pertinent academic material. He taught my son new ways to approach the test questions which translated into a higher score.

He strikes the perfect balance of being authentic and easy going yet intellectually stimulating, focused, and extremely helpful. He listened to my feedback about my son’s work approach and tailored his tutoring to best fit my son’s style and individual academic needs. My son enjoyed working with Brian and described him as intelligent, relaxed, helpful, and very easy to work with. I have no reservations recommending Brian and am thrilled with my son’s ACT score.

With Brian’s help I was able to improve my score by 300 points and could not be more grateful for all of the skills and confidence he provided me with to pass the SAT. As someone who had many SAT tutors I cannot recommend him enough! Also the majority of my tutoring was online and it was just as effective as in person. Thank you so much Brian!!

I would like to thank you for all your help in giving me the tools necessary for success. With your help, I have excelled in my SAT test, thereby opening many doors for me into college.

I whole heartedly believe that my success in the SAT test can mainly be attributed to your tutoring skills as you taught me to think about each question instead of just randomly diving in and answering.

You gave me the confidence and support along w/ techniques to apply on the test. You were extremely knowledgeable and familiar with the test format, types of questions asked and ultimately had a solid set of strategies to apply and attain my goals.

I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a tutor.
