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.

One of them being how his fastest mile ever is like 4:00.38, anyways that really stood out to me because to achieve that time it shows his determination in any task he puts his mind to. Although I’m not the brightest student, Colin made me feel better and confident about taking the SAT English. He takes time out of his day to answer any questions you have outside your scheduled class. Overall he provided me a lot of insight and showed me that through his hard work and care for his students :)
