For twelve years, I have helped students achieve dramatic results on standardized tests. For half of that time, I worked in China, where I learned the secrets of the top test prep companies and was later hired by them to develop new programs and test strategies. During this time, I was invited by China’s Ministry of Education as a featured guest speaker on how to design and execute innovative reading and vocabulary development strategies. My reputation grew with each student’s success, and my clientele grew to include China’s growing numbers of millionaires (and even a few billionaires) who wanted to help their children achieve success. Thanks to recent world events, I am now back in the United States, where I am president of an international tutoring company.

Testimonials:
"Thanks Aaron, I could never have come this far without you." Student Dale Z. after earning a perfect score on the SAT Critical Reading section and gaining admission to an Ivy League university.

"You are the best teacher I've ever had."
Gloria Q. - SAT student

"My son took the SAT and scored 2350 (out of 2400 on the old SAT). He would not have received his SAT score and his offer from Yale without your help and encouragement." --
Jessie X.

Score Improvement:

•My students have increased an average of 237 points for the Reading/Writing portion of the exam on the SAT.

Average percentile change for SSAT:

•Reading: 38% increase percentile points (this would be the equivalent of a student going from the 50th percentile to the 88th percentile)

•Verbal: 32% increase

GRE

I've been teaching test prep for over ten years and the GRE was what led me to develop my own proprietary strategies to help my students on the GRE and other standardized tests. Using the method that I developed helped me to increase my own score over 400 points (back when it was on the old scale), and helped many of my students achieve similar results. Scores: Verbal 168/170 (98th percentile) Writing 5/6 (93rd percentile)

American history has long been a passion of mine. Often, schools want students to demonstrate, through tests and essays, not only that they can remember facts, but that they understand the concepts and why they are important. I can help you or your child with both. I can invent clever mnemonic devices that help you memorize a lot of information in a short amount of time. Furthermore, I can use real life examples that are relevant to you or your child's interests to illustrate historical concepts in an understandable and (hopefully) enjoyable way.

ADHD

At the age of fourteen, I was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder. Before I learned and developed strategies for coping with ADD, everyday activities such as finishing a homework assignment, reading through a boring textbook passage, and keeping up with my fellow students all became a daily struggle. However, my experience also taught me that ADD/ADHD is something that can be overcome. When I finally learned how to overcome my challenges, I was able to become what I always knew I could be: a straight A student. You can achieve the same. I can tailor the study skills and motivational strategies that helped me achieve in a way that matches your strengths, weaknesses, and unique learning style.

ISEE

I possess years of experience teaching the ISEE. Most of this was earned in Beijing, where I managed the test prep department of a bilingual school and training center. Developing my own test-taking strategies beyond the traditional “tips and tricks,” some of them derived from when I scored in the 98th percentile on the GRE, I helped many students overcome their difficulties and achieve success on the ISEE. This expertise is especially important since there are not many teachers who have ISEE experience, and the test itself does not have as much officially-produced material as many of the other standardized tests that I teach.

Excellent, exceeded our expectations!

Aaron was wonderful in our tutoring lesson for our son, he was extremely patient, very engaging which is hard to do esp. with younger children, and thorough in all aspects of the lesson, we were very pleased, thanks Aaron and well done!

Peter, 20 lessons with Aaron

Knowledgeable and patient

Aaron has very good strategies on how to work on the test and improve the scores. He's also patient and an integrity person. My son started working with Aaron three weeks ago. His recent mock result is much better than when he started.

Lingxian, 37 lessons with Aaron

a knowledgeable and experienced SSAT/interview tutor

Aaron went through all possible interview questions with my daughter for the private high school admission. He is very familiar with the admission process. The mock interview with him is very valuable. Strongly recommended!

Teng, 5 lessons with Aaron

Awesome experience!

I love that Aaron is super fast paced and consistent. My daughter has adhd and his method works so well with her. The entire 2 hours of sat prep class material can be spread more by any tutor to make more hours of teaching. But Aaron will give your child more knowledge in less time saving you money and your high schooler their precious time.

Shirley, 25 lessons with Aaron

Aaron is a great SAT coach!

My daughter was highly impressed with her SAT session with Aaron. In a short duration of time, she was able to learn so many strategies. We are looking forward to working with Aaron and helping my daughter improve her SAT score in her next exams.

Xiulan, 14 lessons with Aaron

I highly recommend his focused and supportive tutoring services.

Aaron A. was called upon on short notice to help increase my son's SAT score by at least 50 points for the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section. With just a week left before the SAT exam, my son met three times with Aaron for a total of 5 hours. The result: my son's Reading and Writing score increased by 80 points, allowing him to receive additional scholarship money from his chosen college equivalent to $3,000 a year. Aaron is well worth the investment and time spent.
