Sunny Y.

9 Avid lessons

What was most helpful in the review sessions was the formulaic approach in the writing and reading that allowed for greater consistency and accuracy in the reading section. After 4 reviews I noticed my practice tests going from a 650 range to a 730-770 range. Not being an avid reader myself getting the insight to read in a more critical way and categorizing wrong answers choices gave me a more confident approach in the SAT reading overall. She has been a massive help! Ryan, California

This showed me that Gregory is professional, an avid listener and passionate toward achieving the best results for whomever he tutors. He also does really well adjusting to the student's needs. If he feels a facial expression senses struggle, then he gives an honest analysis and uses different study tactics to bring about confidence. We had a goal score in mind for me to attain on the GRE and I was successful. With his help, I am now an MBA student at the school of my choice.

And, let me tell you, it is extraordinarily valuable to have an avid and experienced native Russian speaker guide you through the language, step by step and in person; I cannot exaggerate how crucial this is for someone like me who wishes to learn Russian from the ground up. Juliya is a very gifted teacher who is very patient, adaptive, understanding, and knowledgeable. Juliya paces her lessons well and is very attentive and receptive about if/when any confusion or questions arise.
