Phenomenal tutor
Robert is by far one of the best tutors I have had the pleasure of working with. He is ALWAYS competent and willing to help me no matter the time line. He's work is phenomenal and it still amazes me efficient he works. An assignment that would normally take me a week to do well I can do it with his help in 1-2 days. I highly recommend working with him on any writing or editing project you have. He always listens to me and works around whatever writing preference or input I may have. Robert is tutoring rockstar!

Knowledgable and helpful advisor
He was able to fix up all of my garbled writing and make it into something nice and coherent. We worked on my personal statement as well as all my secondary essays and with his help I feel I will be able to confidently submit my applications.

Great help with college essays.
Robert is helping my senior with college essays. He has helped her twice when she felt stuck and did not know how to proceed. My student says he's very knowledgeable and has really added value to her essay writing process. Very positive and encouraging.

Knowledgeable and patient
Robert was very knowledgeable and patient with my daughter. He was able to provide ways for her to understand and pick out what was important in a reading passages along with ways to improve her grammar to increase her SAT score. He answered every email that she sent, he worked with her busy schedule to fit in tutoring sessions, and he provided practice material that she felt helped her improve her scores on the SAT. I would definitely recommend Robert if your child needs help making the score they want for scholarships or college acceptance.

One and done!
My son had 2 ideas for a college essay and Robert helped him pick the stronger out of the 2 and although he had written it out entirely, Robert cleaned helped him finish the ideas and tie up loose ends in his narrative. I didn't sit with during the session but I could hear a one-sided conversation from the other room and it seemed like some good and thought-provoking conversations were had. Highly recommend Robert, he was flexible, seemed like he wanted to make this work. Our session went over an hour, but we were only charged for the time we used. One and done. Thanks Robert! Wish we would have found you sooner!

Wonderful Tutor
My son has been working with Robert for about 7 month. Last school year his 6th grade ELA teacher saw progress almost right away. My son is reading and writing better. His multiple choice comprehension improved. But the most important thing is that he is looking forward to his lessons. Robert doing different activities with him and keep it interesting and fun while teaching. Thank you Robert!

I have worked with Robert twice and will work with him in the future. He is a great tutor with valuable insights at the collegiate level. Likewise, he has been available with short notice for one last review of a paper.
