Amazing!!

Sean first helped one our colleagues learn ESL in one of our locations several weeks ago. That colleague transcended her fear and is able to communicate with confidence and remarkable ease with guests and fellow team members. She is one of our most effective managers now. We had such extraordinary success that we have enlisted his help in teaching 4 other colleagues. Sean is a fantastic teacher and multi-lingual proficient and our teams love how much they learn every lesson. His flexibility and ability to adapt lessons for each student is exemplary. The smiles at the end of each lesson is the most telling sign. Thank you Sean!!

Raji, 25 lessons with Sean

Knowledgeable and supportive

Working with Sean has been great for my AP English language class! He’s an intelligent, thoughtful resource if you need feedback on an essay before submitting it to a teacher or advice on how to proceed with an assignment. One of the things I like most about him is that he’s willing to meet you wherever you are and support you. If you’re proficient in something already, he won’t waste time on it, but if there’s something lacking, he pinpoints it and fixes it! I especially recommend Sean for college-age students or high schoolers looking for preparatory English tutoring. He’s also got a witty, quirky personality that I get along well with.

AP ENGLISH, AP SEMINAR

Sean worked with my daughter Danielle specifically focusing on her summer assignment. She really enjoyed his teaching style and told me that Sean was really good at explaining the concepts to her. She even looked forward to the sessions because she felt like she learned so much. He was super organized and really efficient at teaching and reviewing the material with my daughter. Sean always provided a very detailed summary of the material covered (which was a lot). She wasn't feeling confident about the material prior to getting tutoring from Sean. Highly recommended!! You will not find a better AP English tutor.

Maggie, 5 lessons with Sean

Fantastic and knowledgeable tutor

Sean has been helping my son prepare for his AP Spanish exam. He has provided some great tips in his writing and speaking and has shown my son his strengths and weaknesses in preparing for the exam. We have used his services for several sessions and will continue to do so up until the exam in May.
