Charles

Experienced Test Prep Tutor with a Plan

Prepare for the New SAT with a tutor who knows the test. I have taught ACT and SAT prep both independently and with a test prep agency and have helped students raise their scores by over 300 points. I have also studied the new tests extensively and can help students navigate recent changes in ways that other tutors cannot. When I meet with your child, I assess and listen in order to tailor lessons to the most appropriate skill level. I use both school texts and my own supplementary cours...

Charles tutored my children for Middle School testing. He was very professional and well prepared at each meeting. My children enjoyed having him as a tutor. They felt he challenged them and provided them with useful strategies for testing. My husband and I felt his weekly plans and assignments not only helped prepare them for state exams but also help with their everyday school work.


Nancy B. from Indian Trail, NC

Charles has been a great tutor for my son. My son actually loves going to tutoring and has learned a lot. Charles always answers my emails or texts in a reasonable amount of time. We have great communication about my son's progress. I highly recommend him.


Cathy C. from Charlotte, NC

Yesterday my daughter took the SAT after being tutored by Charles. The first thing she talked about when she got in the car was how beneficial the tutoring was in preparing her for the test. Charles gave her test strategies, time management tips, and great feedback on practice tests. She went into the test feeling less anxious because she was prepared, thanks to Charles!


Briana C. from Matthews, NC

Thank you, Charles. My son felt very comfortable with you and feels that he will be able to learn a lot and be more comfortable when he approaches test day in October. Like the homework you gave him to do, this will help push him to learn those vocabulary words that he sometimes doesn't want to do. Thanks again and see you on the 15th.

Great tutor! Very thorough in his explanations. His test taking strategies are phenomenal. He is patient and easy to follow. Very punctual, organized. and always has materials and helpful resources to use. He gives practice problems to help reinforce the learning subjects, sample tests and goes over the answers to help give a better understanding of the material and subject.


Allison D. from Charlotte, NC

My son was only able to meet with Charles (thus far) two times yet has taken many positive and helpful tools from those meetings! I am very happy to have found Charles and will continue to use him! Thanks!

Charles is helping me out with my English SAT part of the test. He's pretty straight forward. If you don't understand something, his examples will be so helpful. He's by far the best tutor I found in Charlotte.


Leslie H. from Matthews, NC

I have been very impressed w/ Charles' attention to detail when working with my son while helping him prepare for the writing and reading comprehension portion of his college placement exam. Charles has also included testing strategies that will be helpful when approaching the writing portion of the exam. My son has gone from dreading tutoring to looking forward to it. This is a HUGE accomplishment.


Kadra I. from Charlotte, NC

Charles was very patient and knowledgeable while tutoring my daughter. However, he was not able to help my daughter reach her target score. We were hoping to improve her super score by 230 points ,but it only increased by 120 points. Her writing score improved 70 points, math improved 30 points, and reading improved 20 points. We had 17 lessons with Charles each lasting an hour and 30 minutes (for a grand total of 1,147.5 spent). We were hoping that with Charles's help she would be taking the SAT for the last time before she applies to college ,but we have to go through the SAT process once again. I am not at all happy with the improved score especially with the money that I spent.


Karen R. from Matthews, NC

Charles is an excellent tutor. My daughter started going to him about 6 weeks prior to taking the SAT again and her reading score improved which we were absolutely thrilled about. It was because of Charles's lessons that resulted in the positive movement. My daughter is comfortable talking to him and enjoys her lessons. We highly recommend Charles for his structure, attention to detail, flexibility in adjusting plans to fit the student's need and professionalism.

Charles has been assisting my son with SAT prep, he is patient and knowledgeable. My son enjoys working with him and I appreciate his demeanor with children. We only have a short window and he knew exactly how to put together a plan of attack.
