An excellent tutor with extreme knowledge and ability to connect with his student

My 17 yr old son was very hesitant to work with a tutor to prepare for the SAT exam. Like alot of teenagers- my son didn't feel it necessary to get additional help. After meeting with Todd for the initial lesson, my son decided it would be a good match and agreed to work with Todd. They have been steadily working for months. Todd is very methodical and pragmatic in his approach to preparing for the SAT and my son felt encouraged and more confident with every lesson. The SAT is in a week so it will be interesting to see how much my son's score will improve, but regardless of the improvement- we feel definite that my son will go into the exam with the necessary strategies and with much more confidence. I would highly recommend Todd - my son referred one of his friends who apparently is equally satisfied, Todd was committed, punctual and thorough for every lesson.

SAT Preparation

Todd assisted my son in preparing for the PSAT/SAT. Todd was detailed in discussing strategies and expectations for testing. As my son prepares for testing, we will continue to use Todd.

Great Tutor and Knows what he’s talking about.

Todd broke Down the English section for the act and provided me with great tips that’ll help me do better next time on my ACT. I do plan on meeting with him again in the near future.

Helpful SAT Tutoring

My daughter took the SAT twice and was not please with her scores. Todd tutored her for 4 lessons to prepare her for the upcoming test. Todd is very passionate about teaching and has given my daughter the strategies that she needs to improve her score. She is definitely more confident and has shown significant improvement on the practices test she has taken.

Exactly what our daughter needed!

Todd had immediate and ongoing impacts on our daughter's approach to, and performance on, SAT materials. Her skills and confidence have grown steadily and she is excited about taking both the SAT and ACT tests in June. We highly recommend Todd.

Great Choice

Todd has just recently begun tutoring my son and I am so happy that I chose him. He is knowledgeable and wonderful with Isaiah. He is engaging and is great at explaining not only the skills necessary to be successful with his testing, but is also wonderful with teaching him testing strategy as well. I think that we made a great decision in our choice.

Awesome Tutor!

Thank you Todd for working with my daughter over the past several weeks to prepare her for the upcoming SAT test. I have no doubt she will go into this test "armed" with the many testing strategies you have practiced with her and a much higher confidence level. Your patience, vast wealth of knowledge and excellent teaching skills have been much appreciated. Thanks again!

Outstanding Tutor, Goals Achieved for Scholarship

Todd S. is a very knowledgeable and motivating tutor. His college testing strategies have been a great help for my daughter. She needed to earn a rather challenging SAT score to acquire a certain scholarship for an academically high standard university which she was unable to do until Todd S. tutored her. Todd S was able to utilize his SAT Testing Strategies for my daughter to comprehend that other tutors were unable to do. Her new SAT scores exceeded the scholarship requirement needed. He is definitely a top choice for any teen who needs tutoring especially for those preparing for SAT's or ACT's. You won't be disappointed.
