She is a very patient tutor, I really recommend her for you all. She always gives me good suggestions about my paper, makes my grammar better, and most importantly she always returns my essay back on time, with a good quality. Also, she is very friendly, I speak with her on the phone many times, and each time I can get the answer to the question I ask. I have a good time working with her, and I am looking forward to working with her in the future again.

When he started meeting with Gordon H., however, all that changed. I would come to pick him up from a tutoring session and the two of them would be completely engrossed in a conversation. He didn't even realize it was time to leave. When he took the regents test for the second time only a month and a half later, he came home with a big smile and told me something I have never heard him say before -- "I aced that essay!" He did too. His scored jumped up 26 points!!
Anri B.

6 essay lessons

After six sessions with Daniel, I was able to boost my verbal score 10 percentile points and feel much more confident going into the essay portion of the exam (we did not work together on the quantitative section so I can't speak to his tutoring on that portion). Daniel was always on time, well prepared, and easy to work with. He allowed me to choose the things I wanted to focus on and provided targeted advice and incredible insight into the ins and outs of the exam.
