Fantastic ACT Tutor!

I wanted to share what a great experience my son had working with Justin on his ACT prep. We were really impressed—not just with the results, but with how quickly things started to click for him. In about four months (and even faster in some sections), his scores improved significantly: Composite from 27.5 to 34, English from 25 to 35, Math from 32 to 36, Reading from 25 to 32, and Science from 28 to 35. What really stood out was how Justin was able to pinpoint exactly where my son was struggling and give him clear, practical strategies he could use right away. It wasn’t generic tutoring—he offered very specific tips and approaches that made an immediate difference, especially in reading and science. You could see his confidence grow pretty quickly. Justin was also very easy to work with—flexible, responsive, and always focused during sessions—which made it easier for my son to stay on track. We’re very grateful for the support and would absolutely recommend Justin to anyone looking for help with the ACT.

Wonderful ACT Tutor!

We’re very grateful for the support Justin provided as our son’s ACT coach. He explained concepts clearly and made each session focused and encouraging. Our son especially benefited from his pacing strategies and tips for tricky questions. Justin was reliable and genuinely invested throughout the process. We would highly recommend him to other families.

Justin is super patient and knows the test inside and out.

I worked with him for GRE prep and had a really great experience. He’s super patient, knows the test inside and out, and clearly has a ton of experience teaching it. Unlike most tutors, Justin doesn’t just show up and ask what you want help with. He actually asks about your goals and helps build a structured plan so you know what to work on between sessions. That made a big difference for me, as it kept my studying focused rather than random. I didn’t quite hit my original target score, but I improved a lot and definitely did better than I would have without his help. He’s encouraging, easy to work with, and clearly cares about his students' success. His help played a big role in my acceptance to a competitive graduate program, so I’m really grateful. I’d definitely recommend him if you’re preparing for the GRE.

Fantastic SAT tutor!

My son had a very positive experience with Justin for SAT tutoring. He helped him to focus on the easiest, most effective ways to improve his score quickly. He makes his own custom resource materials and points students to the best available third-party resources for test prep. My son’s practice SAT scores went from 1460 on 1-20-26 just before he started sessions with Justin, to 1540 by 3-8-26, with 40 points added to each of Math and RW. Highly recommended!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Justin has helped me focus on the easiest, most effective ways to improve my score quickly He is very positive, patient, and has a deep mastery of the material, including fundamentals, tips, and strategies. He goes over best resources for test prep, and carefully walks through incorrect problems and shows me how to get them correct. He flexibly switches between GRE essay writing and quant + verbal review. I would highly recommend Justin for anyone interested in the GRE, or any standardized test!

Amazing ACT Tutor!

Justin has been an amazing tutor for ACT test prep! His note sheets have always been so professional and concise, so that it is the simplest it can be to study and improve my scores. As soon as we went over the science section of the ACT, my practice scores rocketed up, and I feel much more confident about when I do take the test. Absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to get quality tutoring efficiently.

Maxwell, 16 lessons with Justin

Top-Tier SAT Tutor - Highly Recommended!

Justin is an amazing tutor. He works with me at a pace that fits my learning style, and the homework he assigns—along with the practice we do together—has helped me learn new SAT strategies exponentially. His recommendations for different learning methods have also exposed me to better ways to understand and remember the test material. I highly recommend him!

James, 6 lessons with Justin

Knowledgeable and well organized tutor

I was looking for an SAT tutor for my daughter and wanted one who could do both math and English, so I was thrilled to find Justin. He gave my high achieving daughter homework, which she loved, and was well organized in their session, which helped my daughter understand the math questions more quickly. She’s excited to keep learning from Justin.
