Patient - Deep Knowledge of Subject

Alan has been tutoring my son in Geometry for the past month. After the first session, I knew Alan was going to make a difference in my sons learning and that is exactly what he has done. My son finally feels like he is understanding Geometry and his raised grade is proof of that. The teaching methodology Alan uses is multifaceted so he is able to address all styles of learners.

Anna, 76 lessons with Alan

Knowledge and patient

Alan is extremely patient and very devoted to his students. Our daughter looks forward to having Alan come twice a week and she is making tremendous strides in her progress.

Nicole, 4 lessons with Alan

Spent significant time getting to know James

Very pleased by the investment of time and his enthusiasm to help James. Seems to genuinely care and seems to have relevant experience and viewpoints on how to proceed.

James, 3 lessons with Alan

Highly recommend

Alan was punctual, clean, respectful, and most importantly, a wealth of knowledge for test preparation and topics. My only complaint (minor one) was that he exceeded the agreed upon time interval by more than double. I didn't mind because that extra time was put to constructive use, but I feel he should have checked with me in advance to see if the additional per hour charge would be okay.

Kingstone, 8 lessons with Alan

Awesome SAT prep tutor!

My son loved working with Alan! He not only made SAT prep interesting & my son looked forward to his visits every week, but he really spent time teaching my son how to take the test. Alan spent quiet a bit of time showing him tricks to succeeding on SAT, the art of taking the SAT & how to best answer difficult questions. We feel so fortunate to have found Alan!!

Mindy, 7 lessons with Alan

Holistic and Enthusiastic Tutor

There are very few times in your life that you meet someone who is truly passionate about what they do and I would have to say Alan is one of them. He is not a cookie cutter tutor just espousing mathematical or subject matter content, but approaches a session holistically and with enthusiasm. We had our first session and although it was about SAT prep, he came in with research about the best schools for the concentration my son was interested in, and broke down the things he needed to do to get into those schools, in a manegable way. Through the whole session he was positive and encouraging with relatable stories. My son was very happy and excited for his future after just one session with Alan. Very lucky to have found him.
