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!

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 :)
