Adam is very thorough, with a very good sense of how much to push. It's great he understands that it's best to seek answers from the student instead of simply providing them. He is a good facilitator and approaches my son with a progressive balance of challenge and acknowledgement.

Daniel is a very talented tutor and great communicator. My tutoring with him included review of written materials. His written feedback was concise and thorough. This was one of the best decisions I made to hire Daniel. I will definitely be using him again for his expertise. He's also a really nice person. Thank you!

After each meeting he provided a very thorough summary of what they covered and reiterated particular strategies that my daughter should review. He offered to meet us at Barnes and Noble close to our home which was so convenient. Keith is a fabulous teacher and we are so lucky to have found him! Definitely will use him again if the need arises.
