Bio

There is a plethora of experienced tutors available to you, but here are some of the things that set me apart:

*Perfect SAT/SAT II scores - In addition to a 2400 SAT, I have scored an 800 GRE and a 780 GMAT.

*Extraordinary track record - The vast majority of my students see unusually high results. My students frequently go from producing C, D, or F material to B or A material within the first couple weeks. My long time SAT students average between 300 and 400 points improvement in their...

There is a plethora of experienced tutors available to you, but here are some of the things that set me apart:

*Perfect SAT/SAT II scores - In addition to a 2400 SAT, I have scored an 800 GRE and a 780 GMAT.

*Extraordinary track record - The vast majority of my students see unusually high results. My students frequently go from producing C, D, or F material to B or A material within the first couple weeks. My long time SAT students average between 300 and 400 points improvement in their scores; The most improved student went from a 1480 to a 2160 (680 point improvement) and my highest scoring student earned a 2350 (Update: highest scoring student earned a 1570 on the 1600 scale).

*Relate well to all types of students. - Some students don't respond well to tutoring because they can't relate to the tutor. A person of many interests, I have taught all ages and many different personalities and always get great results. In particular, I have had better success than most of my counterparts for many "jock" students who don't relate to a brains-only, "nerd" type of tutor.

*Easy going and positive. - Keeping a student motivated and positive is a huge part of getting good results for that student. I am able to keep a student's spirits up even when they're struggling so that they can continue to improve and get over any temporary obstacles.

*Well qualified and current. - I take my reputation as a top tutor seriously, and as such I take steps to ensure that I stay up-to-date with new trends in academics and standardized tests. I take the SAT every year, and have scored a perfect 2400 on it eight out of the last ten times. I keep up to date with popular scientific theories, read all of the novels assigned to my students that I haven't previously read, and even study new languages every year to help improve communication with my ESL students.

A little about myself -
Tutoring has been by far the most enjoyable and rewarding job I've ever had. I began my tutoring experience at 15 when I was hired to teach in my

Brilliant!

Shawn was a wonderful tutor. He is very knowledgeable in all areas, and was a tremendous asset to our son's successes with the SAT test! Shawn was the perfect person to tutor our son, not only was he capable of simplifying ares of struggle for him, but he helped him to find strategies to accomplish difficult areas, plan, and have confidence in his abilities. Shawn was also very friendly and "cool". My son actually enjoyed the time spent with Shawn. Thank you!

Great Algebra Tutor

Shawn does a great job with my high school junior in helping him to understand algebra 2. He does a great job of really helping him to think through and apply the formulas.

Truly a great tutor. I hired him for my son in college and he has been amazing to work with. My sons grades have gone up by a entire grade, just by working with him.

Through and confident in his subject

Shawn's confidence in his subject matter, translates to our high schooler when he clearly walks him through his pre-calc problems. Has helped our son be confident in his class and is helping him feel proud of his abilities in math.

One of the best tutors ever!!!

Shawn has helped me with English 110 study material and even helped me with studying for my English final on a novel. I got a B on the final and a final grade of a B. Also, he has been very patient and knowledgeable with helping me prepare for the English 110 assessment next spring and I can't wait to continue to work with him on that. He will be great, I just know!

Great Tutor!

Shawn was so great and really helpful to my son. He explained things in a way that finally made since in a world of complicated High School Physics!

Lynn , 3 lessons with Shawn

Thank you

My granddaughter is enjoying her studies in programming. Thank you for keeping her enthusiasm level high as game design seems to be of genuine interest.

Michael, 20 lessons with Shawn

Excellent GRE teacher! I highly recommend him.

I am only at the beginning of being tutored by Shawn and I am already very impressed with his knowledge, his teaching capabilities but mostly his patience. I was worried from being out of school for so long that no one would be able to re-teach the concepts to me but Shawn is proving me wrong and has set my mind at ease with learning all that there is to know for the GRE. I am extremely glad I chose him as my tutor.
