3) I'm an international DJ and social media influencer which allows me to quickly connect with students of all ages and backgrounds
3) I founded and ran my own school which was super fun and successful!

I LOVE teaching and sharing knowledge! But more importantly, I focus on passion, critical thinking skills, and asking questions that go above and beyond the words on a page. That's the point of education right?

Also, I LOVE SAT test prep and assisting with college applications.

I've been told numerous times by both students and parents that I'm *the best* tutor they've ever encountered. And just as every student is different, my methodology is different for every student I work with. My personal philosophy is "If you can win their heart, you can teach them ANYTHING". I said that and that's what I strive to do.

A breakthrough for my 15 yo son

Leon is young enough to be able to make great connections with kids, and smart enough to really get the best out of them. He was incredibly flexible and able to work on projects my son was struggling with at school. Leon is able to work with you on timing as well. We are excited to continue the process with Leon and see where he takes us. I am very happy with this tutor!

Great Connection and Insightful Lessons

My son really enjoyed his lessons with Leon — they’ve been inspiring, creative, and full of positive energy. Leon has a wonderful way of connecting with him and understanding how he thinks. The lessons not only sparked his imagination but also made him feel seen and understood. We’re truly grateful for the care and insight Leon brings to every session.

Engaging and effective tutor

We just started sessions with Leon to prepare my daughters for the Middle-Level SSAT. It went even better than we expected. Leon was very well prepared and tailored the sessions for each child to adapt to their individual learning styles. My daughters found the sessions with Leon very fun, and they have already made tons of progress. I highly recommend Leon as a tutor.

Very Informative First Session

Leon helped my daughter understand the SSAT better by going over some tips during the first session. He explained everything in detail to make her comprehend, and we will continue to meet with him.

Amazing teacher and great friend

Leon's unique teaching approach seamlessly integrates DJing and English, enhancing my skills in both disciplines with engaging, personalized lessons that spark creativity and confidence. His profound expertise in DJing enriches the learning experience, making complex concepts accessible, while his nuanced understanding of English ensures lessons are both enlightening and enjoyable. A master of both arts, Leon is an exceptional tutor who transforms each session into a dynamic journey of musical and linguistic discovery.

Patient and knowledgeable Tutor

Leon has greatly improved my daughter's understanding of biology concepts in an engaging way where she is excited to learn more. He is responsive and communicative with us and also took the time to connect with her and build a relationship which is critical for a teaching environment. Looking forward to seeing how she does on her up coming exam!!!!

Super helpful!

Worked with my son to overcome his weaknesses! Shared lots of useful tips for SAT testing! He is very friendly and my son enjoys the sessions with him very much.

Moki, 22 lessons with Leon

great tutor, fun lesson

Great lesson today. Leon helped to craft an idea of a short film and did an interview to learn more about me. I liked how I can learn many different things with him. His profile is very interesting and I am looking forward to studying a variety of subjects with him. It was good to talk today so that I could think about my history and cultivate a relationship with my new tutor. I am going to do my homework of making a script. I liked the lesson alot and am happy to start my day on wyzant today.

Lorrin, 16 lessons with Leon

The real deal.

I'd trust him in any subject matter. Not only does he care and commit to finishing your project with you, and finishing it well (including staying up until 530am- or waking up at that time to help you!!), he's naturally gifted and you can tell he enjoys watching you learn and succeed. Leon was the best investment in a tutor I ever made, you won't regret it.
