My daughter’s SAT verbal score improved more than 100 points after working with Robert (about 8 sessions). Her SAT verbal score reached above 700, even though she is not a good reader/writer. Robert is knowledgeable about various problem-solving strategies and is very skilled at teaching them. In addition, he is very easy to talk and accommodating. We are very happy with him!

Jonathan worked with my daughter on SAT Verbal, and he was superb. As a Harvard graduate, I struggle to find truly excellent tutors—Jonathan is one of them. His explanations are clear and thorough, and he offered a ton of targeted resources and smart strategies. Absolutely amazing in every respect.

Robert is very quick to respond and super accommodating with offering times that will fit your schedule. He also breaks down complex topics into easy to understand concepts which has helped me tremendously with tackling my issues with the SAT verbal section. I have been enrolled in a very expensive test prep program to which I have devoted a ton of time with not much improvement. I wish I found Robert sooner, it would have been much less time and cost with a much better score outcome!
