Andrew N. from Brooklyn, NY

Flexible, very smart, good teacher, well prepared, a great guy, and easy to work with. All around he's the best!


Bob D. from Tenafly, NJ

Great Tutor. Easy going, professional, and always comes to lessons very well prepared. Knows what he's talking about. I believe my son will benefit greatly from Horace. Only wish he wasn't so dependent upon public transportation.


Sade M. from East Orange, NJ

Horace is gifted. Not only is he brilliant, he possesses an emotional intelligence that allows him to meet his students where they are. Whenever I had difficultly with a concept, he approached it from another angle, and another angle still. His one goal is your understanding - and his diverse skill set allows him to approach solutions in multifarious ways. In regard to scheduling time, he is extremely flexible and goes out of his way to make himself available to you when needed. More than that, he is very encouraging and gives you the confidence to succeed (no matter how lofty a goal may seem to you!) I recommend Horace in the highest regard. He made my GRE studying so much less painful that I expected it to be. I was able to meet personal goals and - if I'm lucky - walked away with just an ounce of his infectious curiosity, humor, and pleasant temperament.


Samantha M. from Corona, NY

I've never had a tutor that was so devoted to his student's success like Horace was. We hit the ground running from day one when I took a diagnostic test where my test taking techniques were observed and noted. Every tutoring session was geared towards my strengths and weaknesses from that diagnostic. On the very next lesson, I had received a personalized lesson plan of everything that we would work on until my ACT test date. From then on we ironed out my weaknesses until they became my strengths, and I had never felt so prepared for a test before. Along with superior tutoring strategies and dedication, Horace is also extremely patient and easygoing so I felt very comfortable with asking him questions when I didn't understand something. I looked forward to every tutoring session with Horace and my only regret is that I hadn't found him sooner!


Richard G. from New York, NY

I had the pleasure of working with Horace three times a week for a month on the verbal section of the SAT. During that time, he helped me on my essay writing, making my essays more concise and focused. Horace taught me how to identify the sentence structure of the passage-based reading component and how to recognize the faults in the identifying sentence errors component. Horace's teaching style is one of intelligence, patience and humor! I always looked forward to my sessions with him. I was accepted to Columbia University's School Of Continuing Education after I finished my SAT test in December 2014. I credit Horace for helping me get the results I needed on the SAT. I am very grateful for the support and skills that I received from Horace. I highly recommend Horace to anyone who wants to achieve their goal of reaching a better score on the SAT.


Jude Z. from Cranford, NJ

Horace came to my house and immediately out my son at ease. He didn't waste any time getting right into the task at hand. He assisted my son with his college essay. He encouraged him to write out all his thoughts and then he helped him navigate his trouble spots. What a great experience for my son. My son intends to keep Horace in his circuit of mentors for his college experience, too. Thanks Horace for your A+ professionalism!


Niccolo F. from New York, NY

Horace not only demonstrated to be very prepared on the subjects related to the GRE and GMAT tests, but he has a very efficient and practical study method that will help you crash down your weakness points. He has great capacity to explain the different issues in an easy way and get to the core of what is needed to be known. Even more, he is also prepared in providing and instructing you about that necessary mental attitude, you'll need to face the test or improve your scores, as self pacing and time control end up to be just as important as the actual content. I definitely suggest to pick him and have a first meeting, you'll see yourself and you will like him. He's always very nice and positive and also very flexible with hours if necessary. He's the guy that will change your score results.


Marilyn M. from Jamaica, NY

Mr. Horace is a conscientious and dedicated tutor. He tries his best to determine what the student's needs are and then he zeros in to correct it.


Caroline S. from Saddle River, NJ

I reached out to Horace to help me with college essay revisions. Out of all the people I worked with, his comments and edits were by far the most helpful. In the limited time we had, he was able to help me construct not only one, but several updated drafts of the essay until we reached a point where I felt content with my work. I would absolutely recommend Horace to anyone who is having doubts on their writing piece and will hopefully get the chance to work with him again.


Stephanie F. from Brooklyn, NY

Horace is super professional, engaged, and knowledgeable when it comes to test prep. He comes to each session with prepared materials, strategies and insights into how to improve your performance. For anyone looking for an edge academically, Horace is worth every penny!


Donato F. from Port Chester, NY

Horace provided an excellent lay out of the GMATs. He then went on to find my personal strengths and weakness. Horace created workbooks for me based on my results and was thorough in his explanations. Hands down he was a great tutor!


Barry S. from Los Gatos, CA

Horace is outstanding in every way. if you get a chance to work with him, consider yourself lucky. He is a gifted mentor who motivates his students through raw passion.


Alexander R. from New York, NY

Horace was very professional and thoughtful throughout the college application process. Horace offered very creative ideas on how to differentiate myself in the applicant pool for college admissions. Overall, Horace was instrumental in crafting a perfect college essay and, ultimately, helped me get into DUKE UNIVERSITY for early decision! I am extremely grateful.


Cedoni F. from Saint Albans, NY

Horace was my tutor for the SAT and ACT. My SAT score raised exponentially, but my ACT went through the roof. His teaching methods were clear and succinct. He was patient and very enjoyable. Because of him, I was able to get a 99% ACT score and get into VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY Early Decision with a full scholarship. Thanks, Horace!!!


Amanda T. from Staten Island, NY

Horace was extremely helpful with helping us in organizing and writing college essays. He was thorough, pinpointed strengths and addressed any areas of weakness he felt needed attention. He connected with my son right away and gave him sincere attention and guidance. We are grateful to have found Horace . He is extremely knowledgeable and cares greatly about his students.


Sheena H. from Brooklyn, NY

Horace got me up to speed with the LSAT within 4 weeks. He's incredibly intelligent and never once discouraged me from aiming for my target score. He patiently explained anything I had trouble with, and was always easily contactable. Even though he tutored me for the LSAT, I can see why he would be a great mentor as well. Great person overall!
